OMG, the ending brings me to tears... again.. I'm a US citizen, was working & living in Singapore for few months in 2015, during that period Mr. LKY passed away. I remember as well that the day, it was raining heavily as if the Gods were crying for the great loss & the people were lining up the streets. I didn't know about the event after just arrived in Singapore the day before. So I was in the hotel, watching the farewell ceremony on TV, I cried back then & so touched by the respect & love shown by the nation. Nothing like this ever occurred in the US, UK, or EU... The following years, I read through all of his memoirs & watched his videos on YT. His wisdom cleared a lot of ways of thinking & seeing the world for me, which led my life to a better outcome as Singapore did for the past decades. Highly recommend everyone to read the books, his practical wisdom will guide you through the challenges in life to become better.
LKY is praised by the wise worldwide which clearly leaves you out of the equation. You are just one of those who could not put community service within the context of the circumstances before your arrogant self. BTW, U don't have the faintest idea of my country, Dong!@@Confidence_and_Fitness
As a kid growing up in the late 70s, I remember my dad paying the most attention whenever LKY appeared on TV. There is something unique and powerful about the way he delivered his messages to the people. No pretence, just pure conviction and a very clear vision of our future. He wasn't interested in rewards or fame. What he had done for Singapore will always be a lesson to our next generation. He is a leader who makes me feel proud to be a part of Singapore
A bright star in the universe now. Stayed in the same house till the end. Used the same mom and pop shoemaker his whole life... What a simple great man.
"Thousands and thousands of Singaporeans, in pouring rain, paying tribute to Mr Lee Kuan Yew on his state of funeral. A wonderful farewell that Mr Lee got from his people whom he looked after, for so many years." Thank You, Mr Lee. We will strive to ensure that your Legacy will continue for generations to come.
@@huiling7947 You are so right! We met a well educated Nigerian couple. They have no plan to travel but when they knew of Mr LKY's passing, they made their 1st trip out of the country just to pay their tributes to Mr LKY in Singapore. We have relatives migrated to different parts of Australia for more than 20 years. Understand from them that when their churches organized to pay tribute to Mr LKY, these churches were packed like never before and many had to stand at the courtyards. For the person who can't even get the basic info right will not be able to understand.
@@鲁焚化炉my first visit to Singapore was also to see LKY for one last time. I have always wanted to meet him and was heart broken to hear of his passing. My wife still looks back and has remorse over not visiting earlier to hear him speak in person.
I belong to the pioneer generations.I trully grateful to our Senior Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew. for making Singapore economically socially n culturally to live in. He is the most respectful man in the world. I am very fortunate to be born in Singapore to have the opportunities to experience the down n up of the growths of Singapore in the early forties n fifties. As a child I had never imagined we can progress to the present day of Singapore. Thanks to Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his old guards for making Singapore to be proud to live in. Always cherished the great deeds they had done to Singapore in my heart. My children n grand children will share the dreams I had. Alots of thanks n highly appreciated for broadcasting this video's.
I simply do not understand why some Singaporean dislike this figure. I'm as a Malaysian myself would be so grateful if he has ever governed my country as what he did and built Singapore today. As what calvin.9544 says " my deepest respect....the best statesman ever exist on earth". Truly remarkable man in my lifetime, you have my highest salutations.
There are some citizens of Singapore who dont like him? He is a role model to most of us future leaders. A template of what should be done to make your nation great.
@pearsonmudzingwa597 It is just some of Singaporean comments in other post about him that makes me wonder why there are still negative comment about this wonderful political figure.
I am fortunate to have witnessed the growth of Singapore and the prowess of this great man. He was not perfect (no man would), but he did what he thought was right at that time, and he did it for the sake of this nation's survival. It is very easy to criticize his policies now, hindsight is always 20/20, but I do not think any one of us, could have accomplished what he had done in his lifetime.

I knew nothing about Lee Kuan Yew 48hrs ago though I had heard about a dictator of a small Asian country that in my learning, I think they were talking about him. I have watched several of his speeches and stories of Singapore. I am impressed with what I have come to understand. He appeared, in all I have learned, to have been a very sincere man who helped many people. A good leader.
As long as Singapore is on the map of world, LKY, his wisdom will prevail. I am a Singapore resident. His values remain intact in every aspect of society. Singapore will be more brighter and successful in years to come.
Mr Lee, commands my deepest respect. He is a miracle, a miracle for Singaporeans. He spent his entire lifetime building up Singapore, for the people for the country.
It is already 8 years since Mr Lee Kuan Yew passed on. I still miss him. He was a good man and he worked tirelessly for the country he so loved. Thank you Mr. Lee.
But people seem to have already forgotten him, until these clips and articles came up celebrating what would have been his 100th birthday. This year, on the anniversary of his death, I went about my day wearing the black ribbon on my shirt to commemorate his passing and no one noticed it, displayed a response or reaction to it, or even asked me about the significance of the black ribbon I was wearing. It's as if 23rd Mar 2015 was just another ordinary day. But not for me. Every year, on 23rd Mar, I take out that black ribbon and pin it on my shirt and go about my day, conscious that the safety, prosperity, cleanliness, convenience, development, everything that is Singapore that I'm enjoying today, would not have been possible without Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
@@sleepy_dobeI visited Singapore back in 2019 and wanted to know if there were any guided tours to learn more about LKY. I went to a help desk at Changi. Lemme repeat, HELP DESK AT CHANGI AIRPORT and asked if they could help me with that. The employee looked bewildered and didn’t recognise his name. I was absolutely shocked to put it mildly. Absolute travesty.
Mr Lee Kuan Yew - a chosen man for a chosen destiny for the nation of Singapore 🇸🇬❤. I have met him when i was in SGH going for an orthodontist 😂 appointment. He was surrounded by body guards as he went for his dental appointment 😅 He was very tall & had such an aura of authority & remarkable stature. The 2nd time - was queueing for hours to bid him farewell at his funeral. 😢 RIP : LKY.
Thank you CNA and the guests for such an insightful, thoughtful recount of stories about our nation's Founding Father. I am just so blessed to be born a Singaporean, nothing that I have done to deserve it. May we Singaporeans put aside differences and together bring this country forward.
Wow, salute to the gentlemen who’s willing to take a bullet on behalf of LKY. Very touched to hear his fearlessness and dedication for the sake of the nation, in offering protection to the prime minister.
Outsiders Protect LKY But ironically Trusted LKY Generals not even Bothered to Intervene to Rescue LKY’s Own Children from Destroying Own Father’s Legacy … These are the type of Characters that run the Country😂
Thank you father LKY❤ What a iron-willed personality. People who die hard for fancy movies won’t like , watch or comment about these extra ordinary documentaries. I cry and feel huge respect towards him whenever I see him even on tv . I can imagine how it must’ve been to the people who have worked around him. People who met him in real life are so fortunate. 💐
You Guys Singaporean are the luckiest nation to have leader like him Even though I’m Indonesian , This giving me a valueble hardest lesson of Democrazy is simply a biggest lie when society lack of order , stability and prosperity , But when certain country already achieve three of them , feel free to utilize Democrazy Sometimes it needed a qualitative tough love to rule a nation compared to rule a nation with a Mediocre Democrazy
The 4 national languages in Singapore are English, Chinese, Malay & Tamil. So many displaced minorities all over the world are yearning for a place in their society. To be accepted, to be liked and to be given an identity. The great man has given Tamils a place and identity in Singapore. Do you know it's not easy to get ones language as a national language in a multiracial country like Singapore.
@@murallivengadasalam1300 My dear Muralli,I am Chinese M'sian and I think the guy who said LKY sold S'poreans to people like you probably wants what's in M'sia in S'pore too - absolute dominance and privileges of his race.
No one is perfect, but as a leader, he had such passion and empathy for people. I am grateful for him and hope Singapore will grow from strength to strength.
LKY seems to me as an example a great man who appeared on the scene at the right time. This man dedicated his life to his multi ethnic and probably earlier divided nation and was able to bind disparate cultures in a dangerous post colonial wolrld. He did not do this alone and his party and the Singaporean people deserve as much credit for the nation they built. It certainly would have been much more difficult to replicate his success on larger less developed asian countries but studying this man his words and his actions should be required for todays current and would be leaders. It would be sad if people like him only surface once in a lifetime.
There will only one LKY type of leader in a century. Spore is indeed blessed to hv him as PM layong foundations to become whatvshe is today. How sustainable is another question but certainly hos swiftness, firmness n clarity in thoughts and .in actions proved tt esp in Spore's formative years if not until the 2000s. The world has changed tremendously but his basic philosophy of Integrity n Hardwork with running this city state as one united people. He showed what Unity can be achieved with Diversity too ! Thabk you Mr Lee 🙏 🙇♀️ 😊
In snippets of Singapore history videos, I noticed that protection officer Mr Kandasamy was always more alert and on the ball than other officers. I wish I can meet him and shake his hand and express my gratitude for his dedication to protecting our FATHER.
Thank you CNA. It’s a very touching story about Mr. Lee, especially around 10:22, I heard the gentleman told to the reporter that he would rather lost his life to protect Mr. Lee.
I remember him, people, man. He deserved a great legacy. He should be remember, make a place for Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his wife. Good man should not be forgotten. Without him, there is no Singapore.
My first assignment, as a "Roockie", Foreign correspondent, was to interview, then PM Lee Kuan Yew! What a life changing experience! I am forever grateful!
I recalled the cold and rainy day of Mr Lee's funeral...I was in a hotel in Manila, watching CNA on the TV in my room and following the funeral events in Singapore. It was a moving experience for me even though I am not a Singaporean, to see thousands lining the streets where the hearse passed, bringing Mr Lee around Singapore on his final journey and to hear the people calling out his name. While I do not agree with some of his policies and actions, I believe he truly believed that what did were for the best and betterment of Singapore and her people... truly a great leader.
I watch this from Romania. Really impressive. I hope that our two countries, Romania and Singapore will develop their relations and become closer to each other!
Mr LKY - Most admirable, respectable, Intelligent, far sighted leader. Truly miss him and eternally grateful to him for his contributions and love for his people. ❤
Good to educate the younger generations about how things came to be. & Singapore wouldn’t have come to be without this man for sure. Thank you sir, you are a product of hard times. Hence, there will never be another political figure like you.
I wish that this video or similar ones could be played in school during history lessons or national day, reminding the young generations of their part to continue Mr Lee's legacy.
I met him before he become prime minister he came to my kampong and shake hand with him and i give all my support to him. He is super 👍👍👍 he help us to build a road and street light to my kampong at Lor Sinaran.
The Mighty God, gave the late Mr. Lee Kuan Yew to Singaporeans, you all should and will be proud of Singapore. The word spoken or written Singapore or Singaporeans, the feeling of magic that Mr. LKY is around today and next hundreds of years.
A great man…with a great heart 👍…Mr Lee Kuan Yew …his brilliant 🤩 shown what Singapore 🇸🇬 have achieved today …Majulah Singapura 🎉…thank u sooo much Mr Lee Kuan Yew 😢r.i.p Sir
I think this series of Lee Kuan Yew is one of the most amazing things a nation could do for its true leader. How about our dear Malaysia? Perhaps a documentary of 5 prime ministers in 4 years?
Lky was a great legend not only to Singaporeans but to everyone. There is this saying “ legends never die” his work and effort put in to create Singapore to what it is today I a lot
Yes No One even comes Close bcz he is Only undiagnosed OCD case that filed White Papers against a sitting President & former Comrade to Humiliate & Disgrace Devan Nair & Family… Ironically, look at LKY’s Family now … Not even one LKY Trusted General dare intervene to Rescue LKY’s Reckless Kids in Lee Family Saga… KARMA
It is quite unfair to expect anybody else in Singapore or even in the world to measure up to Mr Lee Kuan Yew. That's like using Einstein as the benchmark to evaluate all scientists.

There will only one LKY type of leader in a century. Spore is indeed blessed to hv him as PM layong foundations to become whatvshe is today. How sustainable is another question but certainly hos swiftness, firmness n clarity in thoughts and .in actions proved tt esp in Spore's formative years if not until the 2000s. The world has changed tremendously but his basic philosophy of Integrity n Hardwork with running this city state as one united people. He showed what Unity can be achieved with Diversity too ! Thabk you Mr Lee 🙏 🙇♀️ 😊
In snippets of Singapore history videos, I noticed that protection officer Mr Kandasamy was always more alert and on the ball than other officers. I wish I can meet him and shake his hand and express my gratitude for his dedication to protecting our FATHER.
He was truly a special, gifted man. His intellect, compassion, character and vision has taught many. He truly makes us, orientals proud.
A dynamic great man who work hard for his people of Singapore. Thank you Mr Lee. Missed you ❤
Respected❤singapoor🌹respected❤iadiesandjantileman❤veryveryhapenes❤myhungpranam❤thankyousomach❤🌹🌹🌹🌹
Without this man, none of us will be what we are today.
Rubbish
Beside LKY, they are others leaders like Goh Keng Swee, S. Rajaratnam, Toh Chin Chye and Lim Kim San helped to build up Singapore.
he's the meat patty among the dozen ingredients in the burger.
And Lim Bo Seng who famously fought against the Japanese against all odds
Othman Wok also ☝🏼
and LKY was actually working for the Japanese..
These men were the actual engineers. LKY was only the guy who had his signature on the paper.
Wrong person to praise.
Thank you CNA. It’s a very touching story about Mr. Lee, especially around 10:22, I heard the gentleman told to the reporter that he would rather lost his life to protect Mr. Lee.
I remember him, people, man. He deserved a great legacy. He should be remember, make a place for Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his wife. Good man should not be forgotten. Without him, there is no Singapore.
Definitely a great leader.
He loved SG so much.
Miss him......xx.
RIP
Thank you sir and the people who were working with him
My first assignment, as a "Roockie", Foreign correspondent, was to interview, then PM Lee Kuan Yew! What a life changing experience! I am forever grateful!
Respectedpmkuansir❤yourscontry❤peopls❤allwaysmyhungiovely❤apersite🌹respected❤deputypmsir❤allways❤myhartewishpranamishaalla❤
@@RajendranRajendran-rj2lx thanks 👍
I recalled the cold and rainy day of Mr Lee's funeral...I was in a hotel in Manila, watching CNA on the TV in my room and following the funeral events in Singapore.
It was a moving experience for me even though I am not a Singaporean, to see thousands lining the streets where the hearse passed, bringing Mr Lee around Singapore on his final journey and to hear the people calling out his name.
While I do not agree with some of his policies and actions, I believe he truly believed that what did were for the best and betterment of Singapore and her people... truly a great leader.
We all miss ah kong very very much.
This was a great video, thank you!
I watch this from Romania. Really impressive. I hope that our two countries, Romania and Singapore will develop their relations and become closer to each other!
Lucky Singaporeans to have a man like LKY to lead them.
Aiyoh I cried lei watching this video 😭😭😭😭 ❤️❤️❤️LKY🙏🏻
It's such a touching tribute. I know, we love and miss Mr Lee dearly
Mr LKY - Most admirable, respectable, Intelligent, far sighted leader.
Truly miss him and eternally grateful to him for his contributions and love for his people. ❤
Good to educate the younger generations about how things came to be. & Singapore wouldn’t have come to be without this man for sure. Thank you sir, you are a product of hard times. Hence, there will never be another political figure like you.
I wish that this video or similar ones could be played in school during history lessons or national day, reminding the young generations of their part to continue Mr Lee's legacy.
@@huiling7947couldn't agree more. Schools should do that.
Respected❤sirmalashia❤contrysingapoor🌹goodcontry🌹respected❤sisterandbrothers❤veryveryhapened❤iloveyou❤myhartewishpranam❤ioved❤

Lee Kuan Yew is the best for Singapore.

He left this world as a hero
His foresight is amazing. A big loss to Singapore
He was and still is a blessing and an inspiration to the rest of the world too.
Love love this video. Every second of it. Touched my heart deeply.
Respected🌹sister🌹myhartewishpranam❤ioved❤
The Mighty God, gave the late Mr. Lee Kuan Yew to Singaporeans, you all should and will be proud of Singapore. The word spoken or written Singapore or Singaporeans, the feeling of magic that Mr. LKY is around today and next hundreds of years.
Love the Mr.Lee is the best world Lee.... that's y whole world know Singapore.....
A great man…with a great heart 👍…Mr Lee Kuan Yew …his brilliant 🤩 shown what Singapore 🇸🇬 have achieved today …Majulah Singapura 🎉…thank u sooo much Mr Lee Kuan Yew 😢r.i.p Sir
A world-class leader, there is no doubt.
A great man who shaped Singapore! Thank you Mr.Yew.
😂 another dumb idiot brainless comment. Mr Yew????😂
His family name is Lee. So it is Mr. Lee
Mr Lee the man!❤
I think this series of Lee Kuan Yew is one of the most amazing things a nation could do for its true leader. How about our dear Malaysia? Perhaps a documentary of 5 prime ministers in 4 years?
Brought tears to my eyes
I am so sorry to hear your lost your wife in such early year, I will remember your guidance.and do my best.
Lky was a great legend not only to Singaporeans but to everyone. There is this saying “ legends never die” his work and effort put in to create Singapore to what it is today I a lot
Singapore is so beautiful now.
Salute from nepal 🇳🇵
LKY is a great leader... But sad to say that no one in the Parliament today can compare with him...
Yes No One even comes Close bcz he is Only undiagnosed OCD case that filed White Papers against a sitting President & former Comrade to Humiliate & Disgrace Devan Nair & Family… Ironically, look at LKY’s Family now … Not even one LKY Trusted General dare intervene to Rescue LKY’s Reckless Kids in Lee Family Saga… KARMA
It is quite unfair to expect anybody else in Singapore or even in the world to measure up to Mr Lee Kuan Yew. That's like using Einstein as the benchmark to evaluate all scientists.
Different times require different kind of leader. For a first world country, a technocrat is actually more suitable
@@HKspurs10 Lee Dynasty coming to end soon , ironically by Own Reckless Family … KARMA 😊
I suppose it's hard to find anyone like him in the world. Peace.
Happy 16 Sep. The founder of Malaysia. LKY.
wow what a real bodyguard 9:45 you made TAMILAN proud
When he passed away, almost all Singaporean came to pay their respect.

Recap by Tammy AI
❤LKY forever
Wow this is a great video ❤
Beautiful leader ❤
Very good man
Sadly for Singapore, Mr. LKY could not live a thousand year. The nation moans and miss him
He already had said back in 1965, ‘I won’t be here, but his friends around him will BE here’
Legend.without lky no singapore.
Lee Kuan Yew aka the most feared dictator of Southeast Asia. And look how mighty SG is today. We need more dictators like LKY, the iron fist leader. "Smart dictatorship" is what developing countries need. LKY mastered this craft.
The greatest dictator who got away with alleged crimes = the legendary LEE KUAN YEW
Ok…. I cried at the end.
Other World leaders should follow the steps of LKY for a better tomorrow
Man of men... that's who LKY is
Inspiring ❤
