To this day Mandela sets the gold standard when it comes to universal outpouring of grief and the tributes given by world leaders, as well as attendance at his memorial service.
Old fart, though feared and grudgingly respected when alive, will never garner in death the kind of love and sense of loss that the whole world felt at Mandela's death.
LKY was a political giant, but a moral pygmy.
Mandela was a great man. Period.

Dr Mahathir saddened by Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s death

SINGAPORE — Mr Lee Kuan Yew may not have been a “close friend”, but his passing still saddened Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the former Malaysian Prime Minister wrote in his blogtoday (March 27).
“No matter how friendly or unfriendly we are, the passing away of a man you know well saddens you,” Dr Mahathir wrote. “I cannot say I was a close friend of Kuan Yew. But still I feel sad at his demise.”
Dr Mahathir said that he first met Mr Lee in 1964. Dr Mahathir was a member of Malaysia’s parliament then.
“We crossed swords many times during the debates. But there was no enmity, only differences in our views of what was good for the newborn nation.”
Dr Mahathir also admitted that there were many issues which the two did not agree on. But he recounted one incident where both men were in mutual agreement.
“When I became PM in 1981, I paid a courtesy call on Kuan Yew. It was a friendly call and he immediately agreed to my proposal that the Malaysia and Singapore times which had always been the same should be advanced by half an hour. I explained that it would be easier adjusting our time when travelling as we would fall within the time zones fixed for the whole world at one hour intervals.”
Another story which Dr Mahathir shared was when he suffered a heart attack in 1989. Mr Lee “cared enough to ring up my wife to ask her to delay the operation as he had arranged for the best heart surgeon, a Singaporean living in Australia, to do the operation,” Dr Mahathir said.
Mr Lee’s death now “marks the end of the period when those who fought for independence lead their countries and knew the value of independence,” he wrote.
Dr Mahathir’s blog post reproduced in full here:
No matter how friendly or unfriendly we are, the passing away of a man you know well saddens you.
I cannot say I was a close friend of Kuan Yew. But still I feel sad at his demise.
Kuan Yew became well known at a young age. I was a student in Singapore when I read about his defence of labour unions.
I first met Kuan Yew when I was a member of Parliament in 1964 after Singapore joined Malaysia in 1963. We crossed swords many time during the debates. But there was no enmity, only differences in our views of what was good for the newborn nation. He included me among the ultra Malays who was responsible for the racial riots in Singapore. Actually I never went to Singapore to stir up trouble. Somebody else whom I would not name did.
The Tunku attended the inaugural meeting of the PAP and was quite friendly with Kuan Yew. He believed Kuan Yew was a bastion against Communism. But when the PAP contested in the Malaysian elections in 1964 with Malaysian Malaysia as its slogan, Tunku felt that the PAP’s presence in Malaysia was going to be disruptive for the country.

I explained that it would be easier adjusting our time when travelling as we would fall within the time zones fixed for the whole world at one hour intervals.
I am afraid on most other issues we could not agree.
When I had a heart attack in 1989 and required open heart surgery, he cared enough to ring up my wife to ask her to delay the operation as he had arranged for the best heart surgeon, a Singaporean living in Australia, to do the operation. But by then, I had been given pre-med and was asleep prior to the operation the next day.
My wife thanked him but apologised. She promised to ring him up after the operation. She did the next evening.
When he was ill, I requested to see him. He agreed but the night before the visit, the Singapore High Commissioner received a message that he was very sick and could not see me.
SStill when he attended the Nihon Keizai Shimbun annual conference on the Future of Asia in Tokyo, which I never failed to attend, I went up to him at dinner to ask how he was. We sat down together to chat and the Japanese photographers took our pictures promising not to put it in the press. I wouldn’t mind even if they did. But I suppose people will make all kinds of stories about it.
Now Kuan Yew is no more. His passage marks the end of the period when those who fought for independence lead their countries and knew the value of independence.
ASEAN lost a strong leadership after President Suharto and Lee Kuan Yew.

No compliments from Dr.M at all to LKY
No mentioning about LKY's so-called political or economical achievements.

Well, at least he showed class in not pissing on a dead man. Mahathir was one of the few world leaders who weren't cowed or awed by LKY, and spoke to him as an equal. For that I respect him.
