It's so heartbreaking to watch this moment. I live in Singapore as a SPR for many years, I can witness what he did for Singapore. It is a remarkable achievement.
Thank you Founding Father of Singapore.. Mr.Lee Kuan Yew.. When the man cried for the nation... He must have loved the nation... When the nation cries for the man... He must have built the nation... Your great legacy will always be here in Singapore... 16th Sept 1923 to 23rd March 2015..💯🇸🇬

We as Singaporeans are appreciative of what you have done for my Family and my fellow Singaporeans. Thank You Sir.
Bro if u free pls come visit malaysia, so many street food here selling Singapore rojak and Singapore style fried noodles 😂😂😂😂 very famous here in malaysia 😅
Mr.Mahadevan, u think Lee Kuan Yew made Singaporeans to beg for food or eat food from garbage dumps. Mr. Lee sought out Singapore's bread and butter issues within one generation. He also elevated Singapore from third world to a first world country in one generation. Singapore is the third richest country in the world. Moreover for Ur information our Primary and Secondary School children are number one in the PISA OECD examination. All because of what happened in 1965. The sheer determination and the will of the Singaporean people and the Good governance of the ruling party have propelled Singapore into another league in the world today. Thank u for inviting me to Malaysia to dine. I can get clean, quality and first class food in Singapore.
He said prior to his death he doesn't want a cult of personality, he doesn't want to be memorialized as a legend, he wants to be remembered as a normal man. Which is why there is no museum dedicated specifically on him, his land and home is not made into national heritage sites, and there are no real statues of the man anywhere in the city state. Things may be named after him like a college wing or a street but nothing more than that. He found it quite trivial and antithesis to what he built. A movie would make him roll in his grave, but I think a small documentary would probably fit more in line with his wishes to not have a gaudy production.
He is not just shedding tears for Singapore, which would already be moving; he is shedding tears for the loss of a vision of unity between races, religions, and peoples, which he had believed in "all his life." I wish we here in America would have leaders that would be moved to tears when discussing worthy ideals.
He was crying for the miscarriage of a 8month pregnant vision, the short sightedness of the other party, because he understood that they are the same people, same values ,they share almost the same issues

I wish our country had this opportunity too. So brave never cheated on 1$ . Everything for the nation .❤ we can still see his fruitful vision admirable and inspiring.
Singapore whole-heartedly believed in multiracialism and multiculturalism. That's why they are so successful. If the people started a nation with hate in their hearts, it would have never worked. Truly one of the greatest leaders of all time.
He is the great leader and the legend for Singapore. A man crying for his country, his nation and he loved to his nation is a great great leader. He builded his country.
man the way he just stood quiet for awhile really heartbreaking.. as part of the young generation, it would be an honor to meet this powerful man. RIP LKY..

Can you imagine if these 2 countries were together? The Malaysians would have ruined the prospects of the Chinese and others in Singapore.

LKY cried not for Singapore, but for the minority races in Malaysia that would continue to suffer from the racist policies of the Malaysian constitution. LKY said no longer being able to politically help these minority races (who desperately looked to LKY for help) now that Singapore was removed from Malaysia, was the greatest regret in his life, and that is why LKY wept. LKY had championed a non-racist "Malaysia for all Malaysians", while the Malaysian government (continues to this day) champions the vote-grabbing racist "Malaysia for Malays".
lihatlah wahai kita orang melayu walaupun dia cina tapi semangat dia jadikan Singapore negara Hebat, tak serupa kita orang melayu asyik bergaduh sesama di Malaysia 😢
@@A-Z_STUDIO satu hari nanti Malaysia akan ada PM firts bangsa cina baru padan muka kita orang melayu, tak mustahil kalau orang melayu asyik nak bergaduh sesama & tak bersatu 😓
LKY also screwd up because he didn't understand or at least try to learn more about Malaya first during that 2 years. It's just getting into marriage with a person but, you don't bother to know what your spouse interests, character etc.
The decision that is not made by them. Singapore is not in a good shape after its independence. Racial tensions between races is still fresh in everyones mind. The chinese are still reeling from devestation of 1964 race riot. The singapore Malays are distrutsful of the new goverment and refuse to acknowledge singapore as their goverment. Food & fuel shortages is a immidiate problem the new goverment had to tackle.
I am not from either countries but I think this was for best cuz they just two different nations, in Africa we still suffer cuz of the borders the conolizers build they separated different ethnic groups into different countries that why one different African country have over 100 different African languages and tribes they can't unite so they had to keep the conolial languages which I turn brought back neo conolization into the countries cuz Civil wars broke out, Singapore end up being good so it worked out for both countries in end
The only reason I think why malaysia expelled singapore is to mantain a majority. Malaysian peninsula had quite significant chinese population. But still outnumbered by local natives and malay population. But if combined with singapore chinese. The chinese suddenly have a thin margin majority. The malays wanted to mantain political majority. And undermine every attempt of singapore to negotiate.
Greatings and well wishes to Singaporeans from East Africa. The founding father Lee built the foundation of modern Singapore and brought it to the level it is currently, highly developed, prosperous, and stable country. Besides celebrating their great leader, Singaporeans should work hard to ensure the country Lee sacrificed his entire life for does not start going backwards or retrogress due to mismanagement and corruption by current leaders.
Today Singapore is far ahead than Malaysia in every development indicator. Due to racist policy of majority Muslim malay, all minorities are thinking of building better future outside of Malaysia, and leaving the country in droves.
@@Dripxxl-i4k No, it was and is unequivocally religious factor which the followers of Islam carries and every component of which is against non- believers.

I can completely understand why Lee Kwan Yew was so upset, but as we now know it was a huge blessing in disguise and Singapore flourished through sheer grit and determination to become a much more successful country than Malaysia!
I've been checking out this news channel and the Singapore's parliamentarian sessions after watching the interview of NaraLokesh, a Telugu leader in India, as he mentions the channel and the good things about the Singaporean patliament and the change that happened in Singapore's history. After looking some of the videos and sessions of the parliamentarians of the Singapore and getting to learn about the founding fathers and societal revolutions in Singapore. The healthy discourse and discussions and the change they brought up in a country like that is so unbelievably amazing. Glad, I get to know this and understand this after addressal of Mr. Lokesh.
Singapore is tiny yet a blessing to world and uncountable people and generations. Mt grandpa was in Malaya when he was an orphan. My relatives are in Singapore. No corruption and racism like Malaysia. Many people work in Singapore and buy property or start businesses in Malaysia. Bringing up economy in Malaysia.
Im from Malaysia, a very big respect to Former Sg Presidents Lee Kuan Yew to bring Singapore into great Nationality. He is very powerful man at Southeast Asian as President. very big thumbs up 👏🏻
He cried for a day. The next day he was new man. And he made a new world - a far better, prosperous world.

LKY said no longer being able to politically help these minority races (who desperately looked to LKY for help) now that Singapore was removed from Malaysia, was the greatest regret in his life, and that is why LKY wept. LKY had championed a non-racist "Malaysia for all Malaysians", while the Malaysian government (continues to this day) champions the vote-grabbing racist "Malaysia for Malays".
No wonder why Malaydesh always claimed indonesian Culture 😂
Thank you our great dear leader, without you we'd still be a fishing village right now.
no its not. sg already develop by the brits to be financial centre due to its location. even the japs plan to do the same thing.
One of the greatest leader of human history.
lihatlah wahai kita orang melayu walaupun dia cina tapi semangat dia jadikan Singapore negara Hebat, tak serupa kita orang melayu asyik bergaduh sesama di Malaysia 😢
malaysia punya segala potensi untuk menjadi negara yang hebat. kuncinya hanya 1. buang ego supremasi melayu.
@@A-Z_STUDIO satu hari nanti Malaysia akan ada PM firts bangsa cina baru padan muka kita orang melayu, tak mustahil kalau orang melayu asyik nak bergaduh sesama & tak bersatu 😓
LKY also screwd up because he didn't understand or at least try to learn more about Malaya first during that 2 years. It's just getting into marriage with a person but, you don't bother to know what your spouse interests, character etc.
Semoga sabah dan sarawak follow langkah singapore kalau malaya masih tidak menunaikan janji dan hak yang termaktub dalam perlembagaan malaysia 1963.
@@LeeAli-yh9nf PM other than Malay in MY, hell would probably freezes over first.
I’m an African but I have loved this man and his philosophy - he was a gift to the world but the world didn’t know it.
It was the best decision for Singapore. Such a great nation.
The decision that is not made by them. Singapore is not in a good shape after its independence. Racial tensions between races is still fresh in everyones mind. The chinese are still reeling from devestation of 1964 race riot. The singapore Malays are distrutsful of the new goverment and refuse to acknowledge singapore as their goverment. Food & fuel shortages is a immidiate problem the new goverment had to tackle.
It was a blessing in disguise, indeed
I don't think, "Singapore had decided to separate from Malaysia," Sg did not choose, it was expelled by Malaysian Parliament.
I am not from either countries but I think this was for best cuz they just two different nations, in Africa we still suffer cuz of the borders the conolizers build they separated different ethnic groups into different countries that why one different African country have over 100 different African languages and tribes they can't unite so they had to keep the conolial languages which I turn brought back neo conolization into the countries cuz Civil wars broke out, Singapore end up being good so it worked out for both countries in end
The only reason I think why malaysia expelled singapore is to mantain a majority. Malaysian peninsula had quite significant chinese population. But still outnumbered by local natives and malay population. But if combined with singapore chinese. The chinese suddenly have a thin margin majority. The malays wanted to mantain political majority. And undermine every attempt of singapore to negotiate.
@@aetius7139 the malays were also not as united and organized then Chinese
Expelled by parliament upon which the Singaporeans finalized the separation because of it.
Greatings and well wishes to Singaporeans from East Africa. The founding father Lee built the foundation of modern Singapore and brought it to the level it is currently, highly developed, prosperous, and stable country. Besides celebrating their great leader, Singaporeans should work hard to ensure the country Lee sacrificed his entire life for does not start going backwards or retrogress due to mismanagement and corruption by current leaders.
Legends never die. SEDIA. HORMAT Mr Lee!!!
The best decision ever!!!SINGAPORE ONWARD!!!
LKY was a courage and honorable man. Blessed Singapore
Can thank Tunku Abdul Rahman for that
@@PaehShortsnah not gonna thank someone who stems division.
It shows how much he loved this country
God bless him. he was the true leader. ❤
I'm glad our little sister made it 🇲🇾❤️🇸🇬
Fly high mr Lee Kuan Yew😢😢😢
I really admired LKY from the tremendous achievements have had achieved in his active political life 👍👍👍💪
Today Singapore is far ahead than Malaysia in every development indicator. Due to racist policy of majority Muslim malay, all minorities are thinking of building better future outside of Malaysia, and leaving the country in droves.
Always blame religion. It was Racial problem not Religious
@@Dripxxl-i4k No, it was and is unequivocally religious factor which the followers of Islam carries and every component of which is against non- believers. I deeply know this fact from Indian and Chinese who r now settled in Australia and the US, and these two English-speaking countries r grateful to have these rare talents.
@@truthmatters5594You're totally right. I totally agree. They didn't give equal rights how bad it is like that? If there is a country they should have equal rights for all people no matter what race you are. People should protest
I don't know why Malaysia decided to kick Singapore out but I hope you guys continue to thrive! Come visit malaysia on the holidays - Love from Malaysia - :>
Thank you tengku without you spore won't enjoy prosperity and multi racial country and your citizens won't all rush here to work and earn sgd and spent in the country
Don't just blame Tunku. There were other culprits....
I can completely understand why Lee Kwan Yew was so upset, but as we now know it was a huge blessing in disguise and Singapore flourished through sheer grit and determination to become a much more successful country than Malaysia!
Now Singapore very shine in the world
I've been checking out this news channel and the Singapore's parliamentarian sessions after watching the interview of NaraLokesh, a Telugu leader in India, as he mentions the channel and the good things about the Singaporean patliament and the change that happened in Singapore's history. After looking some of the videos and sessions of the parliamentarians of the Singapore and getting to learn about the founding fathers and societal revolutions in Singapore. The healthy discourse and discussions and the change they brought up in a country like that is so unbelievably amazing. Glad, I get to know this and understand this after addressal of Mr. Lokesh.
Singapore is tiny yet a blessing to world and uncountable people and generations. Mt grandpa was in Malaya when he was an orphan. My relatives are in Singapore. No corruption and racism like Malaysia. Many people work in Singapore and buy property or start businesses in Malaysia. Bringing up economy in Malaysia.
Im from Malaysia, a very big respect to Former Sg Presidents Lee Kuan Yew to bring Singapore into great Nationality. He is very powerful man at Southeast Asian as President. very big thumbs up 👏🏻
Sorry to correct you but the legend was the Prime Minister instead of the President of Singapore.
He was never president of Singapore.
A man with wisdom&vision ❤
I have had so much respect for this man. Rip LKY
A great nation comes from the vision of a great leader
