PM Lee deserves all our respects and love. He has done his part for this country with all his heart, soul and effort and now he deserves all the rest and fruits of his effort now that it is time to pass the baton. We are very lucky to have 3 giants ( LKY, GCT and LHL) for our PM. Thank you PM once again.

A great emotional and historic speech will be remembered for a long time as a guiding path for Singapore to excel in pursuit of continued growth and success for Singapore and Singaporeans. Lee family has made Singapore an examamplery nation by achieving unachievable results in a short span of time, which other nations could partially achieve in centuries. It's not a miracle. It's, in fact, the strength of the determination of our founding father and the support he received from the masses.

Mr.PM Lee, you have done your part for Singapore. Uniting everyone is not an easy job, especially the workforce, You have enlightened the Singaporeans, "Individually is a drop, together we are an ocean" Your service is still needed to guide the younger generation.

I was a teenager, student & saw with my own eyes . It was Mr Lee Kuan Yew's sweat, tears & even his family money plus some of his close members who pulled out their resources to put Singapore on the map, after a very painful separation. Truly Singaporeans owe it to their founding Father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew for making Singapore, a tiny red dot, to become the 4th Top leading Country in the WORLD. 3rd world Neighbouring Countries such as Thailand, Malaysia & Indonesia really benefited from this Corruption Free Singapore. It's not a Christian Country, but God's favour will always be upon Singapore ONLY, I dare say, blessings flow to a Nation that looks into the needs of People, Environment, Animals & Climate Changes. Yes, the people of Singapore is lucky to have a government 1st. No leaders in Singapore lined up their pockets. They emptied their pockets to help to raise the people standards of living by stressing on English Education. Period.
