"50 years ago, you cried for the nation. 50 years later, the nation cries for you."
Writing this post as an adult, it's really hard to not feel sad about him leaving. Years ago, I remembered when I was still an immature kid. I wanted the oppositions to win because I felt that we need a change in our government. That was when I kept hearing how horrible things are from others.
But if I were to make a decision now, I might pick PAP. I'm never a political person neither am I a Pro-PAP.
It was never easy to govern a country or nation. We have been taking things for granted. After doing some research about what Mr Lee Kuan Yew did for us. I'm amazed. I'm amazed how far-sighted he was. If back then, he gave up on us, I doubt we will have whatever we have right now.
Yes, he might had make some unpopular decision back then. Citizen might not be happy about it, but as a leader he has to do the right thing for the nation. I'm sure he will not harm Singapore in any other ways. Singapore is like his child. He took care of us well and nurture the future generations.
If it wasn't him.. We will not be having stable and safe environment to stay in. We will not have so much comfort. We will not have such advance technology. We will not have such high education levels. We will not be bilingual. We will not have World Class Universities. We will not have such high level standard of living.
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for doing all these to Singapore and not giving her up. Thank you for putting us on the world map. Thank you for everything you've done. You will always be someone that changed Singapore's future. Although we are sad that you're gone, but at least you're free from the pain and at a better place with your beloved wife. May you rest in peace, Sir.
