Condolences for Former President Wee Kim Wee

Former President Wee Kim Wee, who was Singapore's head of state from 1985 to 1993, passed on in his home this morning from medical complications. He was 89.

I can still recall his warm smile... That one time I saw him in person, many many years back on Kusu Island, during this September season when devotees of this Chinese Temple and Malay Shrine would flock the small island to for their annual pilgrimage... He was this endearing and gentle man with eyes that seemed to smile.

Heartfelt condolences...
