With the death of our minister mentor, Lew Kuan Yew, there comes both sides.
Many people have cried out, in sadness or joy. To praise or defame. Regrading him as the greatest leader or the world's largest fraud.
All I will say is. He was the man responsible for this country, without him, there will be no Singapore, not much people living here and pretty much most of us Singaporeans wouldn't exist.
I do not get the disdain people have for our late Mr Lee. A man, who was someone's father, someone's friend, someone's husband, has left this world.
Do you not have the basic human respect to keep your hated opinions quiet when HALF, no wait more than half of this country is grieving and the different leaders of the worlds have been sharing their condolences.
I might not have known Mr Lee, nor did I grow up in the first 25 years of Singapore's growth, to witness the start of the changing of generations and times, where a third world fishing village turned into a first world country. I was only here to ride the afterwaves.
No matter how much a singaporean hates this country or his leadership , they could not have been without him. No matter how much you think his tyranny was, without his help, we wouldn't be able to stand among other countries, a little red dot, illuminating the map with our bright city nights and creating a voice with our multi culture.
We are singaporeans, you have your roots, I have mine. But at the end of the day, we are Singaporeans! And we can only be so because of Mr Lee, and I thank you for that. You have made us one of the most culturally diverse places in these world.
A man has said, Lee Kuan Yew isn't just the "founder", he is Singapore.
