Remembering Mr. Lee Kuan Yew

I'm sadden by the news of our founding father, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, who has passed away this morning. Even though I've not met him face-to-face, I've always regard him as my "Father". Without him, there will be no SINGAPORE.

He love his people, therefore he has sacrificed his entire life building this new nation "SINGAPORE", to give us a home, hope, happiness and prosperity, regardless of race, language and religion. He is a great and visionary man. He is a Singapore treasure and no one can replace him. 

Every National Day, I'm excited and happy to see him coming out from the gallery knowing he is still in good health. But now, he left us. He will be in my memory forever.

Thank you Mr. Lee Kuan Yew for what you have done for Singapore. I'm really grateful to you. Goodbye Mr. Lee and rest in peace.

Love you forever.

The best of Lee Kuan Yew
