Was there for about an hour, disappointing to note that whilst I was there, did’t get to see any prominent politicians(of all parties) around.
The consolation was(is) that the crowd was made mainly of youths, they were solemn and sincerely in paying their respects.

Some politicians did come at the later part of the night.
Its good to see that there is so much respect towards a man who cared for the nation. Congratulations Singapore for the respect shown towards a hero in my eyes. Im Malaysian and i have much respect for the man!
RIP JBJ
Hi TOC et al,
I accidentally pasted my response to Rachel (xtralicious.com) about the TOC interview with ST here.
Sorry.
TOC, you may wish to delete these two comments.

Is it 200 or 1,000?
Dear JBJ
I drown myself in sorrow upon learning of your death. You have suffered so much for championing the people’s causes, but in death history will forever remember you as the true hero of Singapore. Unlike you I am a true coward having chosen to emmigrate after so many disappointing election results. It seems that the people of Singapore are simply mindless about the atrocious Ministers’ salaries, the GST increases, the ever increasing MRT and bus fares, electricity and water bills, countless ERP gantries, the dictatorial ISA laws, the drastic rise in food prices, the introduction of means testing for eligibility of health benefits, etc.
I could not sleep well for the past week due to the passing of Sir JBJ. I hope his son will continue his work.
