Impart Mr Lee’s values to the young

I am saddened by the passing of our founding prime minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. I join all Singaporeans in mourning his death. It is a pity he will not be with us to celebrate our SG50 National Day Parade.

He was a remarkable, well-respected statesman who transformed Singapore from a Third World country to a First World country today. He contributed significantly to Singapore’s development: Housing, infrastructure, educational system, public transport and the rest.

The lives of Singaporeans have improved tremendously under his leadership. We should pay our respects to Mr Lee by imparting the values he left us to the younger generation.

This could be done in the form of a National Education documentary to be used as material in the school syllabus. The documentary could also be displayed at museums and key attractions, such as Changi Airport and Sentosa, for visitors.

Singapore has lost a great leader and true legend in ruling the country.
