I FULLY agree with Mr Sam Ho Beng Hock ("Name a place after him"; Forum Online, last Wednesday) that our late former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew more than deserves to have a building or place named after him.
The most apt manner in which to do this is to rename the existing Merdeka Bridge, which forms part of Nicoll Highway, as the "Lee Kuan Yew Merdeka Bridge".
The Malay word "merdeka" means freedom or independence.
Naming the bridge after Mr Lee would remind all Singaporeans of the enormous role he played in steering Singapore through its early days of independence towards nationhood and beyond.
