A remarkable man has passed away. Leaving behind a remarkable nation and a remarkable country.
No doubt in my mind that Singapore today is his child. Lee Kuan Yew has lived his whole life the role model of a founding father. With high standards against himself and against his fellow citiziens. That also means that harsh things have been done not everyone thinks were justified.
Being a father myself I have sympathy that many decisions must have caused him unease but I also admire his strength and stamina in following his ideas and his dream all his live.
Dear Mr. Lee, I bow my head and am thankful for a place I can bring up my children in safety, harmony, health and with the opportunities to shape their own future.
