Singapore - Today is a sad day for me as I shed of tears for my first Prime Minister and founding father of modern Singapore. Every where I drive around Singapore is a tribute to the vision and determination of this man that lead his capable ministers and people through the tough and challenging early years of Singapore to what it is today.
Our annual per capita income at the time of independence in 1965 was $500 to roughly $ 55,000 today.
You have brought Singapore to first world in one generation and I thank you so much.
May you rest in peace.
“I saw the British people as they were. They treated you as colonials and I resented that. I saw no reason why they should be governing me — they’re not superior.
“I decided, when I got back, I was going to put an end to this.” Lee Kuan Yew
