When asked by foreigners, I always introduced Lee Kuan Yew as the godfather of Singapore. With the passing of his wife Mdm Kwa Geok Choo yesterday, I feel Singapore mourns the loss of our godmother. The woman who stood behind and unwaveringly supported in so many ways, the most important man in our nation's history.I don't know her personally and I think few do. But if anyone needs any indication of her brilliance, just look upon this miracle of a city, breathe its air and feel its pulse. I think she gave us that.
Thank you Mrs Lee, and goodbye.
