Mdm Kwa Geok Choo or Mrs Lee Kuan Yew has passed away at age 89. It's a black Saturday as we bid a final farewell to a lady who is undoubtedly the Mother of our young nation, having stood by the country through thick and thin.
"If she weren't an influence, supposing I had married somebody else, I might have become a different person, not that I would be a different person, but the things that I would have been able to do, the kind of backdrop I would have had, family, support, would have been different..."
- MM Lee.
“What to do? What else can I do? I can’t break down. Life has got to go on. I try to busy myself, but from time to time in idle moments, my mind goes back to the happy days we were up and about together.”
- MM Lee in his interview with the New York Times last month.
"Many would not know of her quiet but important contributions to the State, as she walked that long road with him. She followed him faithfully – always by his side – throughout all changes that befell him in his political career... By his side she helped him pursue his chosen path in politics, preoccupied always with the good of Singapore before anything else, which she shared."
- President Nathan
