Farewell my beloved hero – Mr Lee Kuan Yew

Dear Mr Lee,
I am a native Singaporean in my fifties. I would like to thank you for your decades of dedication to Singapore, particularly in your younger days. Under your leadership, we developed Singapore and improved our standard of living to an enviable level. We trusted you and your party all these years believing that you have our interest at heart.
Before we part way, I would like you to know that despite many serious policy errors in the past I have continue to love and respect you. For examples,
Your stop at two policy permanently destroyed our Asian traditional family value that children are a blessing. Driving down the fertility rate to this low level. I forgive you.
Cruel and inhuman handling of your political opponents. We feel sad for them and particularly their families. I forgive you.
You allow your son to go into politics although he is not the best person. Since then Singapore rapidly declined and we are now the most unhappy people in the world. I forgive you.
You devise an education system that allows only 20% of Singaporean to be well educated but at the same time flooding our precious local universities with thousands of foreign students. I forgive you.
You transformed our economy from a vibrant economy to a state enterprise system (GLCs) thereby removing the entrepreneur spirit that our forefathers were well known for. I forgive you.
You support your son to build casinos despite your earlier pledge that you will never allow it. This degraded the character of Singapore forever. I forgive you.
You change our constitutional to allow GRC. Putting in question as to whether we are still a democratic country. I forgive you.
You unreasonably resisted public outcry demanding the audit of our national reserve, particularly GIC and Temasek Holding accounts. This could potentially destroy all that we have built. I forgive you.
You allow your son to quietly bring in hundreds of thousands of new citizens and PRs over the last few years. Causing under-employment among us and depressing our salaries. I forgive you.
However, your Parliamentary vote on the 8th February 2013 to drastically increase Singapore population further by bringing in another million or so of new citizens, PRs and foreigners is unforgivable.
It will systematically and legally take away my native Singaporean birth right to enjoy Singapore and to pass it on to our children’s children. All our dreams have been shattered. This I cannot accept.
For the sake of my children’s future I will resist this invasion.
Farewell my beloved national hero this is where we part.
