Today is an especially depressing day for me, and I would say for many Singaporeans. Even the sky seems to be crying for our loss. Today we bid our final farewell to our founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
Throughout this week, we could see how much Singaporeans respect and value him. I really applaud those people who queued hours at the parliament house to show their respect and gratitude towards him. It is definitely not easy waiting there for hours in the hot and humid whether. Not only Singaporeans, but also leaders who gathered here from all over the world to show their last respects to him.
All thanks to his great vision and ability to attract and run a great team, we get to live in Singapore-a safe, secure, clean, comfortable and prosperous place we call home today.
Thank you for dedicating your whole life to building Singapore to where she is today. You will be dearly missed. You are someone who cannot be replaced and Singapore wouldn't feel the same without you.
This week we not only mourn his passing but we also celebrate his achievements. His legacy will live with us forever as Singapore build upon his legacy and bring her to even greater heights.
Goodbye Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
