Was driving the taxi on the morning 23 March 2015. On the way sending a passenger to CBD, listening to P.M. Lee Hsien Loong 's personal address to the nation live on radio. I tears up on the lost of a great man.
Next day, while talker to a banking whom I picking up at Battery road to Sentosa Cove. We spoke about the economic problem in Greece where politicians just run popular policy to win the office. Giving out money to the voter rather than building infrastructure, factories or schools. Then we go on to what Mr Lee has done for Singapore in his office or policies. I tears up second time.
Listening to Jack Neo's tribute for Mr. Lee Kwan Yew. I tears up the third time. This time, there are no passenger in the taxi, I just parked in the Fort Canning Park car park. Mourning for him in my own quiet space and way.
Today, I went to Buona Vista to send Mr Lee Kwan Yew to his last resting place. Feeling the atmosphere of the crowd while watching the live broadcast in Ulu Pandan CC and lining up the road in the rain, I feel proud to be a Singaporean, I do not care about those people who feels their personal rights or ego is bigger than everyone, these few days, we Singaporeans stands together to mourn for our nations' father.
Singapore is still young, we are still surrounded by bigger brothers that will have no hesitation to bully us if we show any weakness. We will work hard, we will grow from strength to strength.
