REMEMBERING MR. LEE KUAN YEW

JTJB mourns the passing of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, the first Prime Minister of Singapore who passed away on 23rd March 2015. His endearing spirit, dedication and sacrifice to Singapore will forever be remembered.

“You begin your journey not knowing where it will take you. You have plans, you have dreams, but every now and again you have to take uncharted roads, face impassable mountains, cross treacherous rivers, be blocked by landslides and earthquakes. That’s the way my life has been.” – Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of modern Singapore
