[Straits Times] Thank Mr Lee through our deeds

WITH former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's death, it is now time for us, the young generation, to consider what we can do to show our gratitude and appreciation for all he had done for Singapore.

It is only right that we continue to develop Singapore with integrity and in the spirit of equality. If each of us can learn from Mr Lee, and take the little step towards improving Singapore, we will be one step closer to becoming the successful nation he envisioned.

The best way to thank Mr Lee is to do something, as an individual or as a group, which impacts our society in a positive way.

For example, if we just make the effort to smile and greet the people in our daily lives, it could go a long way towards building healthy relationships and, perhaps, even a more united society.

If we live with integrity, have the courage to act on our beliefs, and pursue our aspirations, we could do something that positively impacts the community we live in.
