I actually didn't want to share or talk too much about it until Alvin tag me and I thought I shall share my 2 cents.
I know some or even many might not agree on the "importance" of today. I once did a project calling him "founding father of modern Singapore" and I got trashed because some choose to believe that it is not just his credit as there were many others who did it together. I guess you don't get where you are and become successful without making a few enemies along the way.
The past few days have not been easy for the country. It has been sad not just because of Mr. Lee's condition but also because of all the jokers out there who thinks it is a joke. Fake rumours, people speculating, fake screen shots etc was floating around the internet. I mean I have a very wicked sense of humour and I enjoy nasty jokes but even I don't even think it is funny to joke about a person's death less said someone who is that important to the country. It is really sad to see our country man doing all these.
We will never know the "truth" about many things or who threw who under the bus to achieve whatever based on whatever rumors out there we have heard about. But the success, peace, happiness and many more we have achieved here is nothing but pure facts. Results. That's undeniable, we see it and we feel it so I do not understand why people choose to hold on to rumours over the facts that we are seeing.

He might be a legend but he is no God. Death is inevitable and a good rest is what he deserves at the end of the day after doing so much for the country and the people.

Nothing is going to change the fact how much he has contributed to the country.
Thank you and now let the next generation take over. Your legacy will always be remembered.
Some of his quotes that I learnt from a recent post by Vulcanpost that I really like a lot.
- “I have been accused of many things in my life, but not even my worst enemy has ever accused me of being afraid to speak my mind.” (1955)
- “Even from my sick bed, even if you are going to lower me into the grave and I feel something is going wrong, I will get up.” From the 1988 National Day Rally
- “I wouldn’t call myself an atheist. I neither deny nor accept that there is a God.”
Until next time...
