A private memorial service was held for the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew in New York on Thursday 24 September 2015.
The
memorial was organised by founder of Bridgewater Associates Ray Dalio
and former US Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin. Also in attendance
was Mr Lee's close friend, former US Secretary of State Dr Henry
Kissinger.
"A politician does not often have the opportunity to
form deep friendships. Indeed it is said that in statecraft there are
no permanent friends, only permanent interests. But Mr Lee had many old
and trusted American friends, and saw the US as a strategic friend of
Singapore," said Mr Lee Hsien Loong.
