RIP Mrs Lee

Singapore has lost a beloved lady today.

Mrs Lee Kuan Yew was the wife of our first Prime Minister, and the mother of our current Prime Minister. I know the country is in mourning and I hope Mrs Lee rests in peace.

I love that picture of Mr and Mrs Lee Kuan Yew in Cambridge, England, taken in 1946 (before they were married).

How sad that they were apart at the end. Lee Kuan Yew was PM when I was growing up in 70's Singapore - an amazing couple

not sure why, but i'm strangely unmoved by her passing. never really paid much attention to her, really, plus heard stories from our dear cuz of her super diva attitude when she was hospitalised years ago...

MM Lee is also in ill health, got a feeling he's going to follow suit pretty soon.

Mum says that they apparently got married in the UK secretly without their parents' knowledge. Hee hee!!!
