In Memoriam - Lee Kuan Yew Exhibition at Singapore National Museum

Was at the Singapore National Museum to view the exhibition of Memorial to Lee Kuan Yew.

This memorial exhibition will be on till end of June and after that the exhibits will be placed in another permanent place in the museum.

This Rolex Oyster Perpetual Watch 1953 was presented to Lee Kuan Yew by the Singapore Union of Postal and Telecommunictions Workers when he had successfully represented the union in an arbitration over a wage dispute. Eventually, nearly 1,000 clerks received 28 months' back pay.

Lee Kuan Yew sending a telegram back home to his family informing them he was arriving Singapore and the battleship was really meant to have steam boat (a kind of hot pot) dinner.

This glass master plate was used for printing leaflets for Lee Kuan Yew's campaign during the 1955 General Elections.

Tribute to Father of Singapore

Today marks the 3rd day of mourning for the Father of Singapore, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Went to Kovan Hub to pen some sympathy and appreciation to our great leader and founder of modern Singapore. Was teary and sad that he wont be able to celebrate SG 50 with us this August 9, Singapore 50th birthday. Being 55 years old means I am older than Singapore, been through and witness more than 50 years the history of Singapore and how Singapore has changed to be a successful and rich country and how our lives have been improved too under the great leadership of Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Cannot imagine Singapore without "YEW". Rest in Peace, father of Singapore, Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Newspaper Special Edition on Mr Lee Kuan Yew

There's special edition newspaper on the Life of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, went to queue to buy the papers.

Seems like most of us are not in a mood to do anything today, really so sad.

Remembering Founder of Singapore

So sad, woke up to very sad news of the passing of Founder of Singapore, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew.

Being in the baby boomers generation and older than Singapore, we witness the progress and how successful Singapore is today. Thank you so much for giving us a peaceful and successful country to live in. May you rest in peace, Father of Singapore.

Hubby admire Mr. Lee Kuan Yew very much, he collects and read his books. I never like reading thick books but I somehow find myself reading his memoirs and managed to finished the whole interesting book. Too sad now.
