Farewell to a great giant

On 23 Feb 2006, S Rajaratnam one of the founding fathers of this nation, and the author of The Pledge passed away. Coincidentally, today also happens to be his birthday, he would have turn 91 today.

This afternoon I watch CNA's coverage of the funeral ceremony at the Esplanade. I vaguely remember this great person. From the documentary coverage over the last few days, I am touched by this person's vision and actions in uniting a nation in times of racial turmoil and his contribution to the nation in foreign relations.

I believe his actions and character will inspire many to fight for and believe in Singapore and Singaporeans.
