Our first prime minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew passed on last Monday and our whole nation is in a state of mourning.
Countless eulogies and stories of his life have been propagated and shared. Yet, there are also much heresies being riled up by the dissidents.
Whether there is truth in what any of them say, i think it is not a problem for my generation. those things are entrenched in the past, while we look towards the future.
he may have made morally unsound judgements, but haven't we all done that?
he may have appeared like a dictator and wicked as some say, so we wish for unilateral justice and to be rid of him?
my take is this: i look at his family.
Mr Lee was someone else's son and someone else's father.
look and listen to the story of his family life.
he might bluff the world, but he can't bluff his family all his life.
if he really was that wicked, his children would have ratted on him by now.
i look at my own father.
sure, he's not perfect. but i know, that i really know, that he loves me.
people might say bad things about him, that's all impertinent. he loves me.
Mr Lee Kuan Yew was not a perfect man. but he certainly was dedicated to our country.
to give his life to build a place to live, whether for his own purposes or not, matters little in the long run. we do have much we owe to his works and efforts.
Mr Lee Kuan Yew, i salute you for your dedication to our country and home.
i am inspired to reach your level of passion and dedication.
may you rest in peace.
the story ends like this;
