TRIBUTE & CONDOLENCE LETTERS

President S R Nathan’s Tribute To Mrs Lee Kuan Yew

   

Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong’s condolence letter to Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew



  A celebration of the life of Mdm Kwa Geok Choo was how the Lee family chose to say goodbye to the Prime Minister's mother and wife of MM Lee Kuan Yew.

The
funeral of Mrs Lee Kuan Yew (Mdm Kwa Geok Choo) took place late Wednesday in a private family ceremony at Mandai crematorium.

The cortege made its final journey from Sri Temasek on a ceremonial gun carriage, an honour the Government decided to accord Mrs Lee in recognition of her exceptional and unique contributions to Singapore for more than five decades, beginning before Singapore became independent.

Mrs Lee died on Saturday and thousands of people visited Sri Temasek on the Istana grounds to
pay respects during the two day wake.

Mdm Kwa, who died at the age of 89, had been seriously ill since suffering two strokes in 2008 -- the first in May which was the most serious, and another in June.

She first suffered a stroke in 2003 while visiting London. The second series of strokes in 2008 left her bedridden for the past two years.

A special documentary on Mdm Kwa is available
here.

Subject: Sorrows and Grief

It was heart wrenching to see your cortege pass through the streets of Singapore. I can't help feeling grief that a saint has left Singapore despite knowing she has returned to serve the lord. She has carried out her duties with absolute distinctions - serving her family and country. Be at peace Mdm Kwa, Singapore is in good hands now....

Subject: Salute to Mrs Lee

For a lady who was in such a prestigious position, yet who could still be so humble, caring, considerate and passionate, and knowing how to treat other people as equal, without the thoughts of status, I really salute to you, Mrs Lee.

You were great in your silent contributions to Singapore and you are beautiful in all aspects. You truly deserved all our respect and you had made Singaporeans proud !

Thank-you for being the Woman behind the Nation. You will be remembered forever.

To our Dear MM Lee, please do take good care of yourself for your beloved wife and for us all.

Subject: The toughest woman

If I may say MM Lee is the toughest man, the late Mdm Kwa must be the toughest woman in Singapore's history of nation building for over five decades. I wish MM Lee good health and strength during this difficult time.
