HUGE DENT IN PEOPLE'S HEARTS
The death of Mr Lee Kuan Yew will make a huge dent in the hearts of the people who love him for what he has done for us. We, who lived during his lifetime, can only wish him peace in his eternal rest.
In extending our heartfelt condolences to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his family, may Singaporeans also add our gratitude and appreciation to PM Lee for continuing the dedication and vision of his father and our founding father.

CARRY ON HIS LEGACY
Whatever our colour, stripes or beliefs, as Singaporeans, we all owe Mr Lee Kuan Yew a debt of gratitude. Let us honour his legacy in the best way possible, by continuing to build a safe, secure and successful Singapore.

'FATHER' TO A CANADIAN, TOO
I am Canadian but I am crying too, over the death of Mr Lee Kuan Yew. He was my father too, because my wife was healed and my children were conceived in this wonderful city of Singapore - a city created through his lifetime of work and vision. He is my role model and my hero, a man of wisdom and kindness. He will be missed.

KEY DATES AS PUBLIC HOLIDAYS
Singapore has lost its founding father, and the world a great man. Mr Lee Kuan Yew sacrificed so much for our country, and we are filled with unimaginable grief. We should set aside March 23 (the date of his death), and Sept 16 (the date of his birth) as public holidays to honour him.

STAND UP FOR WHAT HE STOOD FOR
Singaporeans have awakened to a Singapore without Mr Lee Kuan Yew. It is indeed the end of an era. As a Singaporean from a minority ethnic group, I am indebted to our senior statesman for giving everyone a place under the sun. It is now also time for all Singaporeans to stand up for what Mr Lee stood for all throughout his political career - meritocracy, multiracialism and the rule of law.

PERMANENT REMINDERS OF MR LEE'S CONTRIBUTIONS
As we mourn the death of a great leader, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, I appeal to the Government to consider, first, having a bronze bust of Mr Lee placed at a prominent location at Parliament House for public viewing, and, second, having his image printed on our currency notes.
These will permanently remind all Singaporeans of the man who shaped Singapore to what it is today.

STORY OF A MAN THAT BEARS RETELLING
My son, who is 1-1/2, and unborn daughter will grow up in a Singapore without Mr Lee Kuan Yew. They will not know and remember him as I have. But I want them to. I want them to remember Mr Lee not because of his great achievements, but for the principles he stood for: honesty and being upright, hard work, perseverance and sacrifice. I will tell them his story so they will grow up practising these principles and tell it to their own children.
