Dear all,
As we reflect back on this week thus far, I would like to take a break from academics and pay tribute to Mr Lee Kuan Yew, our first Prime Minister. Through our observance ceremony, I am sure we all know about the important contributions made by him. It is essential to know about why we remember him rather than just knowing about his life and what he had done.
In terms of education, the reason why we are able to speak and write English proficiently is due to his great contribution. He had the vision to foresee that English language is an important aspect of uniting the different races in Singapore with one common language. Also, English is an important language spoken worldwide. Compared to our neighbouring countries in the region, we are ranked highly in terms of our standard of English. We must be eternally grateful for this.
You may not have personally experienced what he had done but nonetheless, we remember him for his vast contributions in building this country. As such, do take some time to visit and pen down some words on www.rememberingleekuanyew.sg
Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
Hello Mr Ong, this is David. Shall we as a class write a poem on the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew?
