I was sipping my hot tea with my warm shawl on at my girlfriends balcony in Sydney when I received a message from a friend on Mr Lee Kuan Yew being in critical condition and was dying. I must admit, I am very ignorant on this man, who he really was and what kind of person he was. Most of the time, I am fed with info about him through social media and friends (most of the time are a em, not too nice ones) . I have never read the book he wrote neither have I ever talk about him during my girlie chit chats. Yes, I am not a number 1 fan of his and yes, I dont deny, I do not wish to be involved in politic related issues for I feel I am too 'bimbo' for these topics. All in short, I knew very little about him. Upon receiving the news from my friend back at home, I heaved a sigh, and decided to do a little bit more reading on this person. Call it guilt or not, I wasnt sure, but a tiny little voice told me to google on him and read up more about this special dying man..
You can read up more about this special man just by googling and be prepared to learn a thing or two about yourself through him. For me personally, I have learnt ALOT through Mr Lee Kuan Yew. I realised his love toward this nation is very much parallel to my love for KAYLENE. Please do not get me wrong in thinking that I am comparing myself to this man. I am not nor will I ever dare to for what he did for this country is WAY WAY WAY more than I can do for my KAYLENE. But I am serious about the comment I have made above. I learnt that Mr Lee Kuan Yew has unknowingly imparted special skills and business ethics to me towards KAYLENE. I am so in shocked and so in awe. He is indeed the best businessman in this nation, and for that, I am truly respectful towards this man. I learnt that at the end of the day, it is the genuine love for this country and the fear for losing her stand amongst the competitive neighbouring countries that constantly makes this man think out of the box and think ahead of the current times to make sure that this counry will be safe and secured and prosper. He was always on the constant lookout of ways and ideas on making the country will be safe and prosperous. He implemented very harsh and strict rules for he forecast how the future will suffer if no strict protocol has been done. After the readings about him and the achievements he has done for the country, I realised that it is the LOVE and FEAR that kept him going on and on to build Singapore today and that somehow or another, I had applied the same love and fear with regards to my business.
It is interesting to know that many people across the world knows Mr Lee Kuan Yew but do not know where Singapore is (trust me, its extremely evident when I was in New York!) and I wish the same for KAYLENE too. KAYLENE must work harder and harder to be ahead of her competitors and trends and be a trailblazer to the plus size girls. Mr Lee works very hard to make new friends and has firm relationships across the world and thats what KAYLENE should do and build bridges to the plus size community.
I will continue to read up more and more on this man whom I regret to only truly respect deeply and idolise him after he rest eternally (23 March 2015) but I believe nothing is ever too late to be learned. I will imply the precious teachings from him and use it wisely to running KAYLENE. Thank your Mr Lee Kuan Yew, for giving us a chance to live comfortably in this country.
Dear Father of the Nation,
Thank you for the love you have for this country. Thank you for your 100 percent dedication towards this little island and changed it from nothing to SOMETHING. I am not good with words, but I still would like to try my best to show you my appreciation towards you. Rest assure and rest in peace, be with your beloved wife in heaven for I know the elites you have chosen and passed the baton to will run the country will continue to run this country smoothly and peacefully just like how you would want it to be.
Thank you once again Mr Lee Kuan Yew, we love you.
