Happy Birthday Lee Kuan Yew - LKYTour Walking Tour Singapore

Every single time we watched the video of our Mr.Lee Kuan Yew crying on occasions such as NDP or his birthday, I just can't help it to stop and think about how would Singapore be without this man.

I am no fan of certain policies in the country these days, but yet I can't deny the fact that I give my respect and gratitude to this man especially for how Singapore is today. Some tell me that he is not the only man that made things happen because he had a team and not all credits should go to him which I can't deny but he is the face of it all isn't it?

We all heard negative stories about him as well but I guess there's no way a man don't attract haters especially at such status. Even I have haters. :p

Amazing it seems but it sure is no David Blaine's magic, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew turns 91 today and he was still seen at the NDP just a few months ago!

The Founding Father of Modern Singapore Tour - aka LKY Tour

In tribute to Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, local tour agency MeGuideU has created a walking tour open to the public to be part of it! (More details at the end of article on "how to sign up")

It might sound like a publicity stunt to you (by my company) but the truth is the lady behind this tour sure ain't about that!

This is Miss Chia Bee Lian. I must say this woman is one of the most interesting as well as passionate woman I've ever met. When she 1st created this tour, she came down to the office days after days just to share with us the facts as well as her research. I can't say how much I respect her too!

The tour will bring us down memory lane of 91 years and more. We will also get to see and learn more about Mr. Lee Kuan Yew's father as well as family line. Fun facts that I never was delivered in a light hearted way by Miss Chia. I would have done so much better for my history lessons if she was my teacher!

Miss Chia in action with some of the bloggers during our media tour.

Even as a Singaporean, I must say that the tour was very informative. There's so much that I didn't know about Singapore as well as Mr.Lee. The newspaper cutting that Miss Chia was holding is not reprinted versions from the library but it's the actual prints, which means she has it as her collection all this while. She is some huge fan of Mr.Lee I must say.

Me doing my ah beng thing again not because I think it's cool but it's really tiring. It's a 3 hours walk so I suggest you better bring water, comfortable walking shoes as well as sunglasses. Thank me later for saving your life. :D

 Nope, she didn't bring us to Cathay for any shopping but why is Cathay part of the tour?

What about Queen Elizabeth Walk? Do you know the story about this place?
