It's been a mourning week for all Singaporeans and others around the world.
The past few days has shown and taught me a lot of things.
Firstly, I'm not born during the period of time where he was a Prime Minister. And so, I do not know how and what exactly did he do. But above all, until today, it has shown how SINGAPORE became a 1st world country from a 3rd world country. "We started from nothing". Mr Lee's passion and love for SINGAPORE allows me to take away many learning points. Despite those who disagree with what he did, he DID NOT give up. Instead, he continued to move forward and I'm sure he has proved those ppl wrong with just showing how well-off SINGAPORE is today. What has he taught us? If it's your dream, your passion, don't be affected by what others say about you. Because you know you've gave your best and that's what's most important.
Secondly, Mr Lee amazes me. When he was around, he built Singapore up. Now, a beauty. And when he passed on, it makes me feel that he has not really left. Because he is still fixing and doing amazing things. With who? Us Singaporeans. Well-known as ppl who loves to complain. But over the past few days, ppl DID NOT complain when they queued to pay the last respect to Mr Lee. Even when encouraged to return home to rest, everyone still patiently waited. I may not have experienced what every other Singaporeans experienced in the queue, because I went with sch, but I'm sure that with so many stories that I've heard from those who went, it clearly shows that Singaporean has a ❤️.
Lastly, it touches me seeing how Singapore United as 1 (Mr Lee sure left with his last doing by doing this) Encouraging one another to continue persevere on despite the wee hours queue. Sharing food/drinks/shelter around. It is indeed a heart-warming scenario to witness.
Thank you Mr Lee. I personally did not grow up in Singapore, and because of that, I have to admit that Singapore is amazing. Upon returning, or even before returning, ppl around me has always been complimenting Singapore. Outside of Singapore, she is known to be a garden city where it is safe and ofcourse beautiful! Mr Lee, you've made a little red dot on the map well-known worldwide! Therefore, Mr Lee, if not for you, I will not be able to proudly say, that I am proud to be a Singaporean. I'm blessed. Thank you very much.
Rest in Peace
