Lky is one of the most respected person in Singapore. During his death, thousands queue up for 7 to 12hrs just to pay their respects to him. Not just Singaporeans, Malaysians, Indonesians too. No one commands such respect. No one force these people to queue under the blazing hot weather in Singapore. In fact people was warn that the queue was at least 7hrs long. Yet they go every single day. You can hate him, you can disagree with him, but its hard not to respect what he has done.

Singapore was very lucky to have a man like him

Lee Kuan Yew is the bedrock on which Modern Singapore is built upon.

[angelatakano]

A total Genius and visionary who loved his land and his people and worked incessantly for the creation and progress of this Nation, without paragon in the history of humanity

Lee Kwan Yew is the GREATEST LEADER of all times!!!

[dekuwar]

Not a signaporean. But my respect will always be there for him. He changed a whole country. Singapore was lucky to have such leaders which many countries in the past wish they had.

Singaporeans are probably the luckiest people in SE Asia. To have a a leader like him. From Third World to First is one of the best books i've ever read.

[VijayBasina]

The real legend in action and worked for his own people and own country and showed a way to other countries on how to become as developed country without resources!

This proves that one man can make a difference.

LKY, was like a lighthouse, who was able to see us through the fogs of many dark and stormy seas. Together with his trusted lieutenants and pioneers, they paddled united for their future and their childrens' future. Likewise, our storm is becoming more darker and turbulent, hope everyone can all steer this tiny boat just like the last generation of our pioneers for the sake of our children and their future. ✌️

[mouthiknaradas]

Lee Kuan Yew was a great leader. No one can match as his equal and we Singaporeans will really miss him 😢

[visheshsarbhai]

Not just Singapore but the rest of Asia, as all successful economies have tried to emulate the "Singapore model".

[lucariodrogon]

[mnoquiao]

One of the most Great Leader to ever lived in this World.

[KironManuelCards]

I went twice to the Singapore High Commission to sign the condolence book, once for LKY and soon after for S.R.Nathan.

Um homem de um caráter altruísta!!👏👏👏👏👏

LKY saved Singapore. You all should be thankful God gave you a man like him. The Philippines was one step away from getting a Philippine LKY but they wasted their chance.
