Close to 5 year since the passing of his wife, he finally managed to join her. Back then, I was gutted, when she passed on first, the one and only selfish ask of myself to my wife is, to let me go first. Men has no clue of how to live on, without their wives.

Year after year he showed up during our National Day parade and I sort of took it for granted that he had some elixir of life and will not pass for awhile more.
He was warded the same night his son, our Prime Minister went for his surgery. The rest was history.
Debates had been going on, people saying how much he had done for their lives, majority are sincere of course there were that small group of fake demeaning pricks who'd like I don't know what else to say.
I'm a born and bred local Chinese Singaporean who went through the routes most average Singaporeans' sons and daughters went through, so I'm allowed to say the that, he did what he had to for the greater good, was he clean and pure? no, he ain't. If you think he doesn't deserve any honor, please go fuck yourself, politics are worst than war itself, it's the root cause of war, so if you think war's pretty, try being in it, sacrifice the luxury of the private sector, having an actual private life and walk around freely before you use that pea-size-more-expensive-than-Eintein's brain of yours.
Any married couple with a job can afford a roof under their head, basic food, water, electricity and a Diploma.
Any Tom Dick and Harry can walk out the streets at 3am to the nearest Mac under the moon light without having the slightest fear of being mugged or killed.
I do not know what else could we ask for.
Yes the stress and fast paced environment is not suited for many and this is part of the sacrifice we have to make to achieve the above. You gain something, you lose something, cause and effect, the law of balance.

Many have asked how i felt about his passing, I tell them with a smile, "I'm glad he left, he's finally managed to let go of his greatest burden, us, and go to his love."
