Tomorrow, 16 September 2014 is Mr Lee Kuan Yews Birthday I want to pray that Mr Lee will continue to have good health. May he find joy, peace, and fulfillment in his life. Im grateful to him and his contributions. Without him, there will not be a thriving Singapore. I grew up during the hard times, a period of turmoil and civil unrest in the history of Singapore. Mr Lee came on the political scene and he and his team did not have much power and other resources. Life was tough for them and for that matter, all of us. It took a man of courage and intelligence to turn the tide. An iron hand to restore stability and engineer growth for our economy and society. It took a strong leader to galvanize the energy of our people and channel it to build Singapore into one of the most admired countries in the world. He put together a great team and it speaks volume of his vision and leadership competence. Together with the other great leaders, he led a little red dot, comprising mainly of migrant and uneducated stock. There were low fiscal reserves and hardly any natural resources. They turned Singapore into one of the most developed and livable countries. Singapores miraculous transformation from a third world- to a first- world country is a testament of their planning abilities, execution, and perseverance. Me Lee made many sacrifices for our nation. He is respected by many people all over the world, including other great leaders and politicians. If you travel all over the world, you will realise that Singapore is widely admired and modeled after. Mr Lee was a man of our time and he led us out of the pits. I cant think of another leader that could do the same for us. Although political power is prone to abuse, Singapore has largely escaped from corruption and suffering the detriments of an inefficient government. For all that we have achieved as a young nation, we owe him a debt of gratitude. Happy birthday, Mr Lee! m.youtube/watch?v=loWRruq3B74&feature=share
