When Lee Kuan Yew passed away in March 2015, the pioneer generation lost
an old friend. They missed him very much.
On the funeral day, many grassroots organisations fetched the people
to various locations to send him off.
I was at the Commonwealth MRT Station the day. I saw many elder women getting down the buses and wanted to join the crowds. They asked me where to watch. I was not sure. Someone said that it was at the side of the road at the MRT Station. I walked pass the overhead bridge towards the Station. I thought I could have a better view, but both the sides were blocked.
I was a volunteer at Woodbridge Hospital from 1980. I was off and on at the mental hospital until it moved 12 years later. I then stopped see the mental-illed persons. Some of them were too upset, or worried, or depressed, or stressed. Delusional disorder is also a mental illness. When the rainbow picture was widely spreading, some people thought that they saw a god or a celestial being. But very soon, there were people found that the Gardens by the Bay were not on the picture! I wished that that person was suffered from delusional disorder temporary and was well now.
Soon later, I read an article describing Singapore was a small fishing village when it was independent in 1965.
I was shocked!
I was sad and sorry. We may suffer from dementia when we are old.
I was sorry that Brother Han was so old seven years later that
he suffered from dementia!
Brother Han passed away in August 2016.
