A man has passed
His story became a legacy
People talks about the good and the bad
Of his deeds being controversial indeed

For better or worse
With the best intentions or the worst actions
History is for the future to write
Not our time to fight

Now we are to reap
The fruits of labour of our forefathers
And plant the seeds of progress
For the next generation

Stand united we should
For a country we only could

Rest In Peace Mister Lee Kuan Yew

I happened to remember a question once posed, "How great is Singapore?" I feel the question can now be rephrased as "How great is LKY's Singapore?" And I feel I have the answer now.

Yes, we are not as great as the bigger or older countries. However, we have been given the abilities to hold our own when others come to our shore to either work or compete with us. We are also equipped to have a stand in the international stage when we fly out of Changi Airport. If greatness is measured by how much value the people of Singapore contribute to the community, society and world around us, then we are great beyond our means.

This should be the legacy Mr Lee has left us and we are forever grateful. Thank you and may you rest assured that Singapore will continue to grow strong. You had done more than enough and should you rest in peace now.
