"But it is what Mr Lee has accomplished for Singapore over that lifetime of service and struggle that is astonishing and without peer.
Singapore was not born into greatness but hardship and poverty. Mr Lee through his singular mission and dedication steered this country into independence and laid the very foundations that transformed Singapore into a modern and thriving metropolis.
He led and forged a nation which today is admired worldwide for its prosperity, harmony and stability. In lifting an entire nation and improving countless lives of Singaporeans of several generations, Mr Lee Kuan Yew has left a lasting legacy for all of us and achieved greatness.
