22 March: Lee Kuan Yew weakened further Over the past few days, the health of the nation's first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew has declined in each passing moment, and the grim update by the Prime Minister's Office today is a sure sign of his imminent passing.  Following his worsened condition yesterday, the 91-year-old former statesman has weakened even further today.    (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Post by Lee Hsien Loong. As the nation awaits for more news about his condition, tributes are pouring in all over from citizens and news outlets.   "Mr Lee Kuan Yew" After 15 hours or so of torturous hand writing session, it's a wrap. Approximately 18, 000 words written. Only drawing pens used, no correction fluid/tape involved. Firstly, this piece of work is meant as a tribute to the great man himself, who is critically ill right now. As much as i would love to see Mr Lee recover and celebrate the nation's 50th Birthday, we ought to prepare ourselves for the worst. My prayers go out to Mr Lee and the family. One thing is clear though: without Mr Lee, Singapore wouldn't be what it is today. And as i drew the picture, it reminded me of two things: 1) success requires dedication and perseverance. 2)mistakes are inevitable. Whatever wrong decisions Mr Lee has made in the past (If any) does not change the fact that he dedicated his life into building this Small Nation since independance and brought us to where we are now. We should be appreciative of that, certainly. As for the drawing wise, it has many 'first' in it. Ita the first time i attempt on a A2 size paper. The first time i did any drawing by writing. And the first time i ever drew for nearly 10 hours in a day. Perhaps the most challenging piece so far. Feel free to share this as we pray for Mr Lee's recovery and maybe... This can get viral or something and the man himself get to see it :) #lky #getwellsoonlky @sgig #sgig A photo posted by Ong Yi Teck (@friedricebucket) on Mar 20, 2015 at 9:06am PDT
