Mr Lee Kuan Yew was Singapore's first prime minister. He had helped Singapore to be an independent country and also helped Singapore to gain independence from the British. Besides, he also suggested merger with Malaya and held a series of talks through the radio about merger to all the Singaporeans so that many  would vote during the referandum. On the year 1965, when Singapore was separated from Malaya, Mr Lee was extremely anxious as he thought that Singapore would never survive on its own. It was a 'Moment of Anguish' for him. In conclusion, without Mr Lee's great contributions, Singapore would never be transformed from a 'Third World Country to a First World State'. This is why I truly value the contributions of our founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Lee was the first prime minister of Singapore, serving in that position for 31 years. He was the one that suggested the merger with Malaya and as such, held a series of talks over the radio so as to win the hearts and minds of fellow singaporeans to vote for his suggestion during the referandum. When Singapore separated from Malaya, Lee called it 'a moment of anguish'.He was also worried that Singapore would not be able to survive on its own. Lee knew that he had to do something about it, so he cleaned up the rivers, built tall towers in the CBD area,etc. The Singapore that we see today, owes much to the vision, leadership and resilience of our founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
