    Lky is one of the most respected person in Singapore. During his death, thousands queue up for 7 to 12hrs just to pay their respects to him. Not just Singaporeans, Malaysians, Indonesians too. No one commands such respect. No one force these people to queue under the blazing hot weather in Singapore. In fact people was warn that the queue was at least 7hrs long. Yet they go every single day. You can hate him, you can disagree with him, but its hard not to respect what he has done.

Together with his trusted lieutenants and pioneers, they paddled united for their future and their childrens' future.

However, in the end, even the people who hated LKY paid their respects to him when he died.

      22 Depraved Israel, it was not for you to associate with a nation that God placed you like one only-begotten son in the middle of Arab nations that hate you and He made a Covenant with you saying by the holy prophets, "When you are established in the country which I give you, you shall make no covenant with the nations, you shall destroy their altars and you shall be a nation among the nations."[Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. And since Moses, each Prophet repeated that! And God went further and said, O Israel, even if a woman forgets her sucking baby, I, Jehovah, will not forget you! O Israel, if I forget you, let My Right Hand forget Its Skill! God keeps his promises. But it is you Israel who always gave up this Covenant! You have always loved evil and prostitution was always attached to you! And yet you are the God’s portion among the nations of the earth!
