Started with Pneumonia last month and he has deteriorated this week. I didn't even know he was in hospital until I saw it on CNN a few days ago.

You forgotten to read local news! -
Nope. There is nothing about it in my local news.Comment

But there is now on our national news about his passing.
I know he split opinion a little locally over recent years, but he was very highly though of internationally including in the UK and what has been created in Singapore in such a short time, relatively speaking, is nothing short of incredible.Last edited by MAN Flyer; 23 March 2015, 05:09 AM.Comment

Last night's bank of European flights would have left before his passing - and as of now, 9.38 SIN time, have not landed. I wonder if they announced it aboard?
RIP in any case.Comment

A great man who transformed SingaporeComment

Just saw a short interview with SIA Chairman Stephen Lee on CNA, who spoke about how Mr LKY saw the importance of Singapore as a well-connected hub in order for economic growth etc. and how Mr LKY held SQ dear to his heart. He also shared an anecdote about how he could not answer Mr LKY when asked which airports worldwide, beyond those SIA was planning to serve, were A380-ready around 2006/2007, illustrating how detail-oriented Mr LKY was.
Singapore's well-regarded airline and air hub status is just one of Mr LKY's legacy. RIP.Last edited by Jumbojet Lover; 23 March 2015, 01:00 PM.Comment

RIP Emeritus Professor LKY, you will be dearly missed.
A great man is not missed, but cherished for the future. Your meritocratic exceptional work has benefitted us, for without you there will be no me.
Thank youI know when you airline bling, that could only mean one thing

Love him or hate him for the policies he has implemented over years, he has left an indelible psyche on Singaporeans and other residents of Singapore. Singapore stood out amongst the nations in the region because of his vision and his tenacity to implement them through his choice of capable lieutenants.
May he rest in peace.Comment

Much of S'pore turns out to pay our last respect for him.
The queue to do so is nothing short of amazing and a testament of how much he meant to so many of us.

so much to say, so little words to contain,
from 1-room HDB to a private condo,
from uneducated parents to a PhD son,
and so much more, looking around me,
thank you just seems so little.Comment
