Spread the Graciousness, save the Resources!

Mr. Lee Kuan Yew was an unprecedented figure, hence he was able to foresee that after his death, some of the citizens would suggest preserving his family home, erecting memorial monuments or naming certain governmental buildings after him.

Therefore, way before his passing, he had already stated his intention to demolish the family home so that the nation's resources would not be wasted; and there would not be any hinderance to his neighbours planning for development of their own properties. This has once again proven him to be a great leader with foresight. 

Actually, anyone who travel overseas often would know that LKY's name has already been associated with Singapore - whenever people talk about Singapore, his name would inevitably be brought up as well.

If the people of Singapore want to commemorate him, we should all respect his desire to maintain a good impression of Singaporeans both within and beyond the country itself; and to develop Singapore into a gracious society spreading worldwide, enabling every country in the globe to know that there is such a graciously beautiful island named "Singapore".

May the government stop wasting time debating which buildings to be named after LKY, or what monuments to be built - use these funds wisely for the benefits of the people!

 

 

 

 

李光耀先生是个空前绝后的人物,知道他死后一定会有一些国人会提议保留他的故居,建纪念碑或是把某些政府建筑物用他的名字来取名。

所以在还没有死之前就交代家人在他死后,一定把祖屋给拆除掉,以免浪费国家资源和阻止他的邻居重新规划和发展他们的产业。这又再次证明了他是位有远见卓识本领的领袖。

其实如果有时常出国的国人都知道他的名字已经跟国号是连体,一提起新加坡,国外的朋友就会说李光耀。

国人如果要纪念他就应该尊重他生前的决定出国或是在国内保持良好形象和继续的把新加坡优雅社会的品牌推广到世界各地,让世界每个角落都有人知道地图上有这么一个美丽优雅的岛国叫做新加坡。

政府请不要耗费国会的时间和国家资源去提议把某些建筑物或是建纪念碑改成他的名字。把这些钱省下来花在人民福利上吧。
