Tribute site beside Jurong Regional Library
Grave news shook the world in the wee hours of March 23rd 2015.
Lee Kuan Yew, the former Prime Minister of Singapore has passed away peacefully at 3.18am. He has been warded at the Singapore General Hospital since February 05 for severe pneumonia where he remained critically ill. He was 91.
For the days leading up to his demise, the PMO (Prime Minister's Office) has been updating Mr Lee's health status daily. His deteriorating health is worrying and I knew what is to come but still, I was shaken when the inevitable happened.
I thought I would remain indifferent to his death but I was dead wrong. I may not see eye to eye with all his decisions or agree with the policies he make but I have to give him credit for dedicating his whole life shaping Singapore into what she is today.
Nobody is perfect but he did what he thought he had to do in the way he thought best. And for that, I am grateful.
Several community tribute sites has been set up all over Singapore for Singaporeans to pay their respects to the great leader. I visited two of the community tribute sites to pay my respects.
From 23rd March onwards, residents can pay their tributes to Mr Lee Kuan Yew at 10 Community Tribute Sites:
1. Ang Mo Kio Town Centre, Central Stage between 709 and 712 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8
2. Bedok Town Centre Open space (In front of 209 New Upper Changi Road Singapore 460209, outside Sheng Siong Supermarket)
