Merv points us to:


Happy Birthday Grandpa

"A Tribute to the father of the nation, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew

For he who dedicated his life to Singapore, we dedicate this site to celebrate his birthday on 16 September. We welcome all visitors to leave a birthday note to MM Lee on our site guestbook.

Singapore Pride

Back in the fifties
Lion City is not like today
Poor are the people
Terrible conditions in those days

Dirty are the streets
When out poured the rain?
Wish I had one
To let it all not remain

Always dream in my mind
To solve all changes today
Fairy God-Mother there is none
But only the lion they say

My dreams are only fulfilled
When leader he became one day
My love and respect for him
For what he makes our city famous today

Sincerity with honesty he possesses
I saw on a speech day
Tiny as I was
I understand all he said

The pain and struggle in him
Has made Lion City a special place to stay
Nothing we can offer
Except our words of praise

What more can you ask from any man today?
I have great admiration him
For this man is magic
He had made my dream stay

Same feelings I hope you all have
Let's not his works go to waste
We have to thank him
For proud people we are today

- I am a proud Singaporean,
thanks to MM Lee Kuan Yew
- Sunflower Chong 1983

I'm still trying to figure out this website.

My little bird: "it looks and sounds like a memorial site! "For he who dedicated his life to Singapore..."

sounds and looks very much like an eulogy to him than a tribute"

[Addendum: "The making of Singapore was the fruit of the labor of many. Goh Keng Swee did the economic miracle. Lim Kim San did the HDB miracle that gave the common man good affordable housing, and with it the support that carried the party. Toh Chin Chye worked the ground tirelessly, and was the one that rallied Lee and his cohort when their grassroots bodies were overran by elements from the Barisan Socialis.

One by one, they were removed from the political picture while in their prime. And history in Singapore today seems to remember only the one-man super team that is supposed to be our MM Lee." - Anonymous Craven on Tomorrow.sg

"what about everyone else?
toh chin chye, goh keng swee,
david marshall, s rajaratnam?
& thousands of other people who DID THE DIRTY WORK
of building a nation from scratch" - melissa in comments

Also, it seems negative remarks on the guestbook are promptly edited away, leaving only glowing praise.]
