Thank you sir, for your life's work.
Under your leadership, you have given your people both dignity and confidence in life. We are now a wealthy society compared to 50 years ago, are educated and a first rate justice and enforcement system. Without economic success, we would be easily trampled on. Who would look up to a society with mass unemployment? Without education, we would be ignorant. And without law and order, we would not be safe. How can a society have freedom without a sense of security?
You allow us to dream, instead of facing survival and how harsh reality can be. My mum tells me how difficult it was in the pre-independence day. Now they retire comfortable, with a roof over their head, adequate retirement fund and their children, with good jobs.
This week, i learn more about you at a personal level, and it touches me more the person you are.
Ethan was cranky the whole day, but quieten when your cortage drove pass and again when the nation held a minute silence. He seems to understand the situation. I hope he will grow up learning about you and understand the foundation you created and how he must preserve all that is good.
Sir, may you RIP.
