[Today] Confer Star of Temasek on Mr Lee to mark SG50

To honour the memory of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, perhaps the Government could look into conferring on him a posthumous state order at this year’s National Day Awards ceremony.
Given the SG50 celebrations, it would be all the more meaningful and befitting of the occasion to confer on him our country’s highest award, the Bintang Temasek (The Star of Temasek).
Since its inception in 1970, no person has been awarded Singapore’s most prestigious national honour, which is awarded for acts of exceptional courage and skill, or for exhibiting conspicuous devotion to duty in circumstances of extreme danger.
What better way to honour Mr Lee than to make him the inaugural recipient of The Star of Temasek?
