The last week of March ( 23-31 ) was a very emotional week for our country. As we all mourn the departure of our first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew . Many of us were very saddened and grieved about his death, yet at the same time we saw the unity of the nation coming together to give our final respect to our founding father. Many of our leaders in Premier Pure also involved in the tributes of Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Many overseas leaders and politicians across the globel came to Singapore and gave theier condolences to the late founding father such as ;China’s Vice-President Li Yuanchao, Australia’s Prime Minister Tony Abott, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe were some of the world leaders who came to Singapore to bid their final farewell to Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Former US President Bill Clinton was also here and Other world leaders in attendance included Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen, Indonesia's Joko Widodo and his wife, Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and Malaysia's King Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah. Myanmar's President U Thein Sein and Vietnam's Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung were also present. Premier Pure Pte Ltd express our deepest appreciations and gratitudes for every leader across the world that came, it really demostrates the huge network and connections we have with different regions!

More than 1.5 to 2 million singaporeans had paid tribute to Mr Lee, many have cried during the tributes and the state funeral. Can't help but wondered Why this deep sorrow for one man? Why do tears flow uncontrollably for thousands on his passing and memory? Simply put, Singapore would not be what it is today without Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

He was that bright night star that guided us all, an impoverished and fearful nation through independence. He envisioned, then drove Singapore to become a success story - as he promised, from “mudflats to a thriving metropolis” that countries all over have sought to emulate. Today, Singaporeans hold their passports with confidence and pride. Mr Lee’s vision and tenacity rallied and energised a nation to overcome seemingly unsurmountable odds. He coaxed, pushed Singaporeans to do what was difficult, but ultimately right and good for their long-term interests. With his powers of persuasion, his clarity and confidence became ours, the people’s - the mark of a great leader. Truly inspired by this great Man , DHA will learn and continue this great spirits in our company!

From now on , there will not be another Lee Kuan Yew who made us better than we are or could be. Mr Lee Kuan Yew founded, moved and lifted a nation. Because of his unwavering devotion and a life poured out for Singapore, he has made all our lives better and for many generations to come. Few mortals have accomplished so much in their lifetime. We in this House are honoured to have lived and served with him. His legacy will live on through us and through this nation. Premier Pure members, customers and leaders will want to thank for all that Mr Lee Kuan Yew have done for the nation , it will always be remembered in our hearts and we will continue to strive to make Singapore to be the top in the world!

Mr Lee Kuan Yew, for all the Singaporeans, young and old, whose lives you have touched – it is they who matter, as you always said, and who have pronounced the final judgement on your life’s work. It is a great work that has surpassed all expectations. It is called Singapore and filled with Singaporeans who love and revere you. it will always be carved in our hearts, for now is time for u to rest and watch us from above.
