A Tribute to A Great Man

News of the passing of Mr Lee Kuan Yew dominated the media, social & in print, the past few days. Articles of the great man  poured in from all directions: chronicling the impact of late Mr Lee on the lives of many, especially in Singapore. 

As a son of Singapore, I was eager to do my part for our Founding Father for the last time. When I was recalled for duty to protect the Lying In State at the Parliament House, I was thrilled to be able to contribute for a man who contributed so much for a nation. 

As a son of Singapore, I had benefited in many ways from a nation that late Mr Lee had built:
▪️ I received good recognized education from an education system that late Mr Lee had ensured the citizens of Singapore received;
▪️ I wake up everyday knowing that my family & myself will be safe, thanks to the military and good foreign friendships that late Mr Lee had built; and 
▪️ I have a job, that pays well enough for my basic needs while supporting a dream to race. 

Hence, I'd like to dedicate all the races that I'd be participating in this year to Mr Lee Kuan Yew: the man who spent his entire life to put Singapore on the world map. I aspire to put Singapore on the Motorsports world map too.

#thankyouLKY
