S'pore pioneer Rajaratnam dies

thursday February 23, 2006

when i heard that our very own pioneer foreign minister had passed on, I was downtrodden. Rajaratnam was one of the founders of Singapore and he contributed alot towards the building of Singapore. From the article I found something that had touched my heart. He once said," on my identity card, it says my race is Indian. But I don't care if you call me an Indian or Eskimo. What is important is whether you consider me a good man." This statment caught my attention. Belonging to a minority race, he still manage to instill values into others. His passing was indeed a great loss to the country.
