“He strove hard and determinedly in life to advance Singapore, and not for his place in history, or leaving a great legacy,” she said about her father.
SINGAPORE — A few days ago, the Government announced that it will release a commemorative coin and host exhibitions to mark the 100th birth anniversary of Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Speaking in Parliament on Feb 7, Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng said some government agencies have planned initiatives to pay tribute to Mr Lee.
“They felt it was important to remember Mr Lee’s contributions to Singapore and the ideals that he represented,” said Dr Tan. In responding to prominent journalist Bertha Henson’s sharing of the news article asking “I wonder what LKY would make of all this…”, Mr Lee Hsien Yang, the younger son of Singapore’s founding Prime Minister, said: “Mr sister Ling never minces her words” and linked his sister Lee Wei Ling’s post to his comment.
In the post, she also recounted her first visit to China with the late Lee in 1976. During that visit, her delegation was greeted by young children chanting, “Welcome, Welcome, a Very Warm Welcome”.
