    It's incredible a tiny country like Singapore can stand alongside the US and received admiration by her president. Mr. Lee was a giant in his time.

    2 of my favorite leaders. Lky was always so sharp and clear, whilst Reagan was always so heartwarming and cheery.

    One of the finest moments for my beloved country, during which it suffered from a horrific economic downturn. From that moment as a young Singaporean, i knew our tiny island nation will be the beacon of hope in SEA. Mr Lee thank you for the service for the nation Hormat Senjata. We shall achieve, will echo in my mind for eternity. {maybe because they played that song a million times, the jury is still out} Even though i live in the USA, and can no longer call myself a Singaporean, i am and forevermore be a son of the nation.
    I have been honored by your presence for sharing your wisdom, grace, vision and true leadership in nation building.
    Once again i thank you, may you R.I.P { sound of count on me Singapore playing in the background infinity repeat}
    your humble servant.
    one of many.

    "The Reagan's years will surely be a noticeable landmark in the American history, for you have restored the American leadership for a just and equitable world order." Lee Kuan Yew spoke favourably of the US's leadership for the world. Today, it has become sadly clear that the US has rescinded from this role.

    I can’t see that the leaders of China and the President of the United States can talk so eloquently, generously and decently, not only because of Lee Kuan Yew’s personal charm, but also because of Lee Kuan Yew’s background in English.

      Lee Kwan Yew was educated at both Cambridge and Oxford. It is always said When Lee gives a speech, you need a dictionary. He was a brilliant statesman and orator.

      they could be so warm because LKY's views matched Reagan's, Regan kept SEA open and peaceful for Singapore, and LKY kept the nonaligned countries on the American side.

      @@cthulhumythos2033 I disagree, it is precisely that Lee could convey complex realities in simple words that relate to Singaporeans which made him such a great statesman.
      Of course his academic speeches and interviews are more erudite so point taken

    10:40 Is that Raquel Welch, Brigitte Nielsen, Sly Stallone & Michael J. Fox ? Surprised to find them invited. Is Reagan a fan of them ? Pretty sure they aren't of LKY's.
