Tribute to one of the great leaders in the world #RememberingLeeKuanYew‬

Singapore's first prime minister had passed away this morning at 3:18am.  It was a shock to everyone here in Singapore, and now, the nation will mourn for its loss for 7 days.

Even though I am not a Singaporean, I grew up in Singapore during my childhood and now adulthood for more than half of my life.  If you know me in person, you will know that I am a Singaporean at heart.

I am grateful for everything that Singapore has done for my family and I.  The Singapore you see today is a result of all the hardship and dedication of one man and his group of comrades in building a country from 3rd world to 1st world status.

And that man is Mr. Lee Kuan Yew.  Let us not grieve for the loss of this great man, but let us celebrate his life and what he had given us: a safe and prosperous country we can all call home.

Let us remember him...
