Farewell to Mr Lee Kuan Yew

Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew dies aged 91.

"I have no regrets. I have spent my life, so much of it in building up this country. There's nothing more that I need to do. At the end of the day, what have I got ? A successful Singapore. What have I given up ? My life. " - Lee Kuan Yew

Lee Kuan Yew has transformed this tiny red dot into a first world country that Singaporeans called home.

Singapore loves you, Singaporeans love you. Singapore is fortunate to have you. You have changed the life of the passed, present and future generations here. You have done a lot for us. You are a legend, there will never be another Lee Kuan Yew.

Thank you Mr Lee Kuan Yew for the Singapore we now have.
