MR LEE KUAN YEW 16.09.1923 - 23.03.2015 |
Perhaps I am too young to see all the imperfections of his policies, but there is no doubt in my mind that we've done pretty damn well for ourselves in a short 50 years, and that we have Mr Lee, among others, to thank for that. We made it to SG50 a peaceful and prosperous nation, and that's something to be proud of.
In some ways I think of Mr Lee as Singapore's Dumbledore. A great leader who did indeed make mistakes, but always held the interests of his people at heart. A man who's mark upon the history of those he led will never be forgotten or erased, indelible.
Thus, in true Potterhead fashion, I'll end this short post with a quote from the wizard himself:
"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light".
Let us all remember the light he gave, and strive to keep it burning.
Signing off appreciating the sunshine, sparkles and sakura petals,
Andrea
