SG50 National Day Fireworks & Tribute to Mr. Lee Kuan Yew

This year, Singapore celebrates SG50; 50 years of independence. Singapore has come a long way under Mr. Lee's guidance and mentor that makes what Singapore is now today, and being known to be a prosperous country worldwide. Mr. Lee Kuan Yew never stopped fighting to build his beloved nation, before and after the separation from Malaysia. He decided that someone needs to take reign of this small nation and he did not hesitate to step forward to ascend this throne. He has done where no one has possibly done to transform this, once a kampong nation, to a glorious first world country as we all know today.It is a very real pity that he could not make it to celebrate SG50 with his dear Singaporeans, which I believe that he had tried his best to pull through. However, God has decided to lower his hand to Mr. Lee Kuan Yew and guide his soul up to heaven on that fine day, 23 March 2015. I believe that without him, there will not be the MBS, Gardens by the Bay, MRT, high-rise HDB flats, and many other entertainment places; most importantly, without him, you and I may not even exist in this nation we call home. Singapore is able to celebrate her SG50 golden jubilee and with the biggest ever fireworks display this year, it is many thanks to this one man Mr. Lee Kuan Yew.I believe you and your beloved wife is somewhere more tranquil and peaceful. But I know that no matter how far you are away from home, you are still watching over Singapore and giving your utmost blessing to this wonderful nation that you have created for the past 50 years.Happy SG50 National Day!
