Students take the time to grieve for the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew
Mr Lee Kuan Yew died at the age of 91, a peaceful death. He was the founding father of Singapore (a nation). He was very popular as a leader in the 1960s and 1970s.
He built Singapore as to what it is today. Singapore used to be a sleepy country but now it is an independent.
Many will remember him as a good politician who has a lot of freedom in what he says. He was hailed a " a visionary" by Barrack Obama and remembered fondly by Mr Abbott. Indonesians also pay respect to this great man and close friend of Indonesia.
In Melbourne Meld did a really good story on him, AFIS and the Singaporean students society have paid tribute to him by changing their logo to black or grey. They also posted a short note in rememberance. The students society moved their Makan event to the 30th of April in respect. There is a tribute page on Facebook and there is a book in Canberra and Melbourne
On the same day as the Lord Mayors event there will be a funeral in Melbourne
