His son never fail to use his father legacy whenever he can. Please la, what era already? LKY already said he doesn’t want all those stuff.

LKY, GKS, TCC did a lot for the formative years of Singapore…that we cannot deny.

 

i think GKS was the true brains. but seems like all was forgotten.

I think it's important to recognise and pay tribute to what Singapore has achieved post-independence, but Singapore is more than just about one person. It's the collective effort of many that has brought us to where we are today.

It would be more meaningful to print a series of notes of the founding group of ministers. When we have 11 efficient and down to earth and hard working MPs. They didn't ask for $million salary or own big houses or biz.

No nonsense approach to public housing

In 1959, Lim was approached by Lee Kuan Yew, Toh Chin Chye and Goh Keng Swee — — members of the People's Action Party (PAP) — to serve in the Public Service Commission. Later, Goh, the finance minister, asked Lim to chair the newly-formed Housing Development Board (HDB) which was established to rehome hundreds of thousands living in squalor. Lim, who took up the role, did not draw a salary for four years.

Another one. Why not just Lee Kuan Yew Student Fund instead??🙄

From the news article, seems like there are more activities planned for his 100th anniversary. I thought only communist country will do this.

 

Lee Kuan Yew Centennial Fund launched to support students and develop young leaders

Source: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/lee-kuan-yew-centennial-fund-support-students-develop-young-leaders-100th-anniversary-3524846

SINGAPORE: A fund that will support about 2,000 students each year to develop young leaders in Singapore was launched on Tuesday (May 30) to commemorate the 100th anniversary of former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's birth.

Called the Lee Kuan Yew Centennial Fund, it was established with donations from private and people sectors and has collected over S$82 million (US$60.6m) to date.

The late Mr Lee was born on Sep 16, 1923. He died at the age of 91 in 2015.

Through the activities marking the 100th anniversary of Mr Lee's birth, Singapore can reflect on Mr Lee's values and principles and that of its founding generation of leaders, said Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in his opening address at the launch.
