Re: Alternative Location to Mourn The Passing of Lee Kuan Yew
heard this story ..
In his younger days, lky always went to NUS swimming pool for his daily exercise. One day, for apparently no reason, he drowned and sank at the deep end of the pool luckily there were two students nearby who jumped in and pulled him up to safety.
When he came to, he asked both students whatever they wanted in return within his power, he would give.
One student asked for scholarship to study at Harvard of which lky obliged.
Then he turned to next one who at first hesitated to reply but after long pause he asked lky to promise to give him state funeral.
lky : "WTF man, why should you ask me to give you state funeral?"
student : "ermm ... you see, sir... the moment I reach home and my father comes to know that I saved your life he sure to kill me, sir!"
.. anyone can confirm when this happened
