Celebration of life rather than mourning of death.

Thus Remembering LKY.

Mr Lee Kuan Yew's contributions 'will be remembered for generations to come': WP
POSTED: 23 Mar 2015 09:38

SINGAPORE: The Republic's first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's passing on Monday (Mar 23) "marks an end of an era in Singapore's history" and his contributions to Singapore will be "remembered for generations to come", said Mr Low Thia Khiang, Secretary-General for the Workers' Party.

Mr Low's full condolence letter to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in full:

Dear Prime Minister,

On behalf of the Workers’ Party, I wish to convey my deepest condolences to you and your family on the passing of your father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Mr Lee was Singapore’s first Prime Minister, heading the Government for over three decades and thereafter serving another 21 years in the Cabinet as Senior Minister and Minister Mentor. He led Singapore with a group of like-minded individuals through our tumultuous early years of nationhood, including a difficult merger with Malaysia and subsequent independence in 1965.

Mr Lee served in public office for almost his entire adult life. His passing marks an end of an era in Singapore’s history. His contributions to Singapore will be remembered for generations to come.

With deepest sympathies,
LOW THIA KHIANG
Secretary-General, Workers’ Party
Member of Parliament for Aljunied GRC

Yes finally one correct term "Singapore's first Prime Minister" as the earlier ones were Chief Ministers.

So Singapore's founding PM - founding means first? Sound better than first? Any English teacher?
