As long as we live, remember 2015

2015 has been an emotional year.

It is the year when we have to bid goodbye to our founding father Lee Kuan Yew. It is also the year of our jubilee celebration.

“This emotional year has left a deep mark on all of us, individually and as a society,” Mr Lee Hsien Loong said on Sunday (Dec 6) at the PAP Convention.

Whether one is a pioneer or a young student, there was a collective “moment of grief” when the late Mr Lee died and a “moment of celebration” when Singaporeans sang the national anthem and recited the pledge on National Day, he added.

“So for all of us here, because of 2015, I think we have a new consciousness; we were changed,” said Mr Lee. “As long as we live, remember this year.”

We are now in the post-LKY era and the SG50 celebrations are coming to an end but the Singapore spirit must live on and the people must “build on what we’ve experienced together”.
