Snippets of MM Lee Kuan Yew

JDr Mahathir described Mr Lee's passing as marking "the end of the period when those who fought for independence lead their countries and knew the value of independence". 

"Our family tongues and broad access to Malay as a regional lingua franca: gone. Much of our heritage and cultural life: sacrificed. The siblings that might have been, curtailed by hard anti-natal policies that were later lifted to no avail. Compulsory military conscription. Censorship. The list goes on," he wrote, adding: "To be able to discuss these soberly, from different informed, constructive perspectives: that IS democracy, IS civilisation, and furthermore, does honour to his memory." - See more at: http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/more-singapore-stories/story/playwright-alfian-saat-questions-lky-legacy-20150327#xtor=CS1-10%20http://

Passing of LKY 23 Mar 2015

Lee Kuan Yew, GCMG, CH (born Harry Lee Kuan Yew, 16 September 1923 – 23 March 2015) was a Singaporean politician. He was the first Prime Minister of Singapore, governing for three decades. His emphasis on rapid economic growth, support for business entrepreneurship, limitations on internal democracy, and close relationships with both the United States and China set the nation's policies for the next half-century. He is attributed to have brought Singapore from third-to-first-world status in a single generation, and is recognized as the founding father of modern Singapore.

Your hard work, your integrity, nations blessed, generations blessed. Blessed is our entire nation, our entire lives. Thank you for showing that, indeed, we can achieve. 

Deepest condolence and heartfelt gratitude.

RIP
