It's been a long while since I've posted, partly due to the fact that I had nothing really interesting going on with my life, two because I have typed up posts and ended up deleting them.
But it is with great heaviness and emptiness in my heart that I type this post up.
It is rare for Singaporeans to rally together at this magnitude. I think many have said this(or at least on my Facebook..), it is difficult to grieve a man whom I have never met nor personally known. But I can safely say that he is someone who has my respect for what he has done for Singapore.
I was born and raised for most part of my life in a modern, peaceful and prosperous Singapore, all of which wouldn't be possible without his dedication. I grew up in a Singapore where I learnt about his achievements from social studies lessons. How many countries have been able to transform from a third world country to a first world country in the short span of less than 50 years? He led a small fishing port to our dizzying heights of today. I think it's safe to say that it's undeniable what he has helped Singapore to achieve as a nation, as a country. Much has changed in the past 50 years but he stood firm in the ways he believed Singapore should grow and prosper. He had the vision, and the determination to achieve. Not many have the determination, courage and wisdom that he had in leading Singapore. Not many can lead such a small country to the heights we experience today, and for that, thank you Mr Lee. You are an inspiration and a great leader. You have left behind a legacy manifested in the peace and prosperity we often take for granted. Thank you for your unwavering love and dedication to this nation.
