I can't find the exact quote now or who he gave those words to. But he was very straight-forward when he squarely told in the face the then president or prime minister that they are doing some things wrong and that they should change certain things. What people would deem an insult! But Australia actually thanked him for that quote which spurred them on in their tribute to his passing! And yes, Mr and Mrs LKY's love story is simply beautiful. I wish you all the best, Sonia! xoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-81487655635144042582015-03-28T23:59:02.821+08:002015-03-28T23:59:02.821+08:00Hi Alexandra, Agreed. we should be proud of our co...Hi Alexandra, Agreed. we should be proud of our country in essence. Mr LKY is renowned in the West for a mix of positive and negative news but he is close friends with many Western politicians too. It's ok if you do not know about Mr LKY. I do not know about politicians in other countries and even some in my own country! Thank you for your kind thoughts and sweet words as usual. xoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-52646844371147850502015-03-28T23:56:38.558+08:002015-03-28T23:56:38.558+08:00Yes, of course I remember Rick.

I read so many articles, watched so many videos and listened to so many first-hand accounts with Mr Lee and I've grown to see more facets of Mr LKY. While I used to respect him even as I acknowledged many of this policies, words and actions that did not sit well with many people, I'm fully aware and grateful for all the shining good that he had done. I'm also very touched by the emotional aspect of him. There is simply too much to say about this great man and perhaps a post would be apt.

And the more I think about it, I know very little about Singapore and how its come to be. Though we're only fed a small amount of information about his time in power I feel like there was so much more to know. I guess you can say it's much like this for all countries, we're mostly only familiar with places we call home and not with the countless others that occupy this globe. What I'm loving now about his story is his love for his wife. To be untwined forever with his loved one. Wow, that is so romantic and beautiful. I can only hope to find a love like that someday Jo.<br /><br />Sxx<br /><a href="http://bit.ly/12nrdfq" rel="nofollow">www.daringcoco.com</a>sonia // daring cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01917824316715854859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-26617933764891966912015-03-25T21:34:23.149+08:002015-03-25T21:34:23.149+08:00I love the way you talk about your country, each o...I love the way you talk about your country, each of us should be proud of what we are, respect our country's traditions and people who made their contribution to the history of the community.<br />I have never heard about Mr Lee Kuan Yew before, but if you decided to dedicate this article to him, I believe he's done a lot for your country and people.
