Words cannot describe how i feel about Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s passing. An extraodinary man who executed his vision not only with excellence but built a remarkable country over a short period of time.

I expressed my sadness to a Swedish friend who has no idea of who Mr Lee is and what he had done for Singapore. His first question was..’Was he a dictator?’. Sadly, my answer did raise question why Singapore would mourn for the loss of a dictator.

I guess perhaps Singaporeans can understand why his ‘dictatorship’ worked at a time that was most needed. He governed Singapore like how a father will look after his child. Without him, we would definitely not have a successful Singapore. Without him, I could not answer with pride when someone ask where i am from.

Thank you Mr Lee. May you rest in peace.
