Dear Members, It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the passing of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, an inspiring and selfless leader whom many of us would recognise as Singapore's founding father. Mr Lee passed away peacefully at the Singapore General Hospital at 3.18am on 23rd March 2015 (GMT 7.18pm, 22nd March 2015). Throughout and even after the years in which he was active in Singapore's political scene, Mr Lee has always put the continuous growth and well-being of Singapore as his top priority, ahead of his personal interests. His lifetime commitment in developing Singapore's economy, education system and foreign relations, amongst many other aspects of nation-building, is the very reason why we are able to have this opportunity today to be here in the UK to expand our horizons and further our studies. In the words of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Singapore had been Mr Lee Kuan Yew's 'abiding passion'. Many of us may not have met Mr Lee in person, nor lived in the generation when Mr Lee was Prime Minister of Singapore, but the stories of his leadership and character continue to inspire generations beyond. While we mourn the passing of one of our most endeared national leaders, let us also remember the hard work that he and many of our other forefathers had shouldered to transform Singapore into the first-world metropolis it is today. As stakeholders of our nation's future, we must continue to build upon his legacy and contribute back to Singapore in our own ways. The Singapore High Commission in London (9 Wilton Crescent, London SW1X 8SP) has opened a Condolence Book for overseas Singaporeans in London to pen their tributes and condolences to Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his family. The Condolence Book will be opened everyday at 9.00am – 10.30am and 3.00pm – 5.00pm till Friday, 27th March. You may also wish to express your condolences and share memories of the late Mr Lee at the official website: http://www.rememberingleekuanyew.sg/.
