JBJ- you are true to yourself; to your God and you faith shines through.

You were in politics not for the money, not for fame, not to have a good good & futute, not to be in good books, not to have your face in the papers, not to angkat, not to seek attention, not to get independent directors jobs, not to claim credit during national day, not to be “patron” of sports associations, not to have retirement till death job security…….etc

You were there for the men in the street – the true blue Singaporeans who are stayers and pushed down 2nd class, with the slow feeling of relegation to 3rd class citizens vis a vis the mass influx of so called “talented” expats.

In life, the sacrifices you have made may have made you a financial holocust victim. In everything you do for us – you were in the front line – never hiding behind any system, pants or skirt; your courage and conviction make you an outstanding son of the soil which will see no peer in Singapore for the next 100 years.
In death, your family was made to suffer the indignity of wooden spoon condolences.
But like Mother Teresa, your rewards will be in heaven.

God bless and best wishes to all your extended family members.

Singaporeans stand up, JBJ stood tall. He paid the price for many many of us, and yet he never never drew a single salary to prove that he sacrifice unlike those who were trumpeted when we were told, gave up hugh salaries to serve. Nay to serve WHO, may I ask?

JBJ’s sacrifice is the most honerable and most courageous that any surgeon-turned-minister, lawyer-turned -minister, rear admiral-turned-minister and all the likes cannot, will not, and capable not measure up to him.

RIP, Joshua Benjamin Jeyaratnam.

He will be sorely missed.

PS: I like the mourning theme on TOC.

His fighting spirit all these years about what he believes and for the sake of Singapore’s true democracy has never been match by anyone else. He is the lion heart of Singapore. A patroit. A leader. A father. And….a friend.

Im proud that at least we have someone who who knows the needs of the people. Someone who cares. Really cares…

Mr JBJ, sir, my prayers will be always be with you. You have done aso much in your life and now its time for you to rest in peace. God loves you more than we do. But you will be always in our heart.

Majulah Singapura. Selamat bersemadi, Encik JB Jeyaretnam.

I never knew too much about him up till now to be frank, but it is a sad day for Singapore to lose one of her most capable and loyal sons.

RIP.

and on the other hand a step-father hates the children that does not belong to him, and manipulate his non-owned children for his own gain and benefit, and treating him nothing more than a digit to sustain his selfish lifestyle. He suppress the information and give carrot to make sure children continue to obey him and do his binding. He give himself the ultimate wealth to his true children and family, while deprive his non-owned children of right and dignity.

So to JBL, the true father of Singapore,
I salute you and may you rest in peace. God has taken your life away because he knows that you have already work hard and completed your mission faithfully and earnestly, and pass the test with flying colours. Now it is up to the rest of Singaporeans …
