With a Heavy Heart

And with a heavy heart, Singapore woke up to the news that our founding father has passed. A chapter of our history has closed but not forgotten. Though I have never met Lee Kuan Yew personally but everywhere you go you see the things that have been accomplished by him and his team.

A little red dot on the world map yet our economy challenges the big boys. Our passport, amazing! Our currency stable. Safety, unsurpassed.

And yet, everyday somebody out there curses all the things that have been done. Reading the FB post on people's wall, I am heartened to know that many is still appreciative.

I only wish I can be a fraction of what he is, to have touched so many lives in Singapore and the world. As a financial consultant my vision is to be able to touch as many lives as possible to help families understand the importance of financial planning. But the going is not always easy. People still scorn us, they think we are trying to sell them a product. Some will accept, some will not

Just like the policies of Singapore, not everybody will accept. The magnitude of how many lives LKY has touched is enormous and his legend will continue.

Now it is up to us to keep this going...
