I heard the news of Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s passing with sorrow. He was a good man who embodied courage, diligence and integrity. His sacrificial dedication to the betterment of Singapore was his life’s work and goal.
He was a true champion of Singapore. Although he is no longer with us, his legacy lives on. In a way, who we are as Singaporeans have been shaped by his policies, writings and the way he conducted himself in public affairs.
His story reflects his fighting spirit, his boldness in the face of challenges and adversity, and his never-give-up attitude.
As a boy and as a young man, I was inspired by his constant reminder to be the best I can be. As an older person, I have been inspired by him to keep fit and mentally active, continue to learn new things and be useful to others.He is an example of how one man can make a difference to both his society and the world. His death is a loss to Singapore and, I believe, also to the world at large.
I am grateful for the privilege of having him as our first Prime Minister. His was a life well lived.
