I was watching 9/11 on CNN back in 2001 when I was 7 years and 11 months old, I was worried IMF's Raja Hettiarachchi or his family, had died, so I frantically called up my dad in his office.

Sad to see LHL is leaving now. He's gotten very old. I did learn a lot, and copy a lot off Lee Hsien Loong. Even some of his █████████████████language. I think: He's done the best he could, though he didn't really grow, or evolve, as his dad had in Asia. I have only stolen some of his ideas, and then applied those dynamics into other cool areas such as █████.███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████Singapore.
