Singapore first Prime Minster, Mr Lee Kuan Yew 李光耀 (1923 - 2015), passed away on
23-03-2015, 3.18 am at the age of 91. Mr Lee Kuan Yew was the father of Singapore. He was a far sighted political leader and the Architect of a modern Singapore. He was the founding Prime Minster of a country with limited resources that rise from a fledgling island nation being expelled from Malaysia to one rapid economic progress 1st world country. Fifty years ago some said Singapore cannot make it. But under Mr Lee Kuan Yew leadership, we did. This is the quote of Mr Lee:
" I have spent my life, so much of it, building up this country. There's nothing more I need to do. At the end of the day, What have I got? A successful Singapore. What Have I given up? My Life" Mr Lee worked hard for fellow Singaporeans to enjoy comfortable life today. Thank You Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
