“That resulted in many long years of closeness between me and my two daughters, who, even as adults, continued to sit on my lap in public.”

Erm. Erm?

why do we expect on MSM ?

The Straits Times is nothing more than a mouth piece

It praises pap ploticians but not bthe real heros and the unselfish social leaders of the people

Anthony Yeo touched many hearts and saved many families…

Anthony you should counsel the SAF officers.

I was at SCSC, where the cream officers learn about brigade staff work.

I found out that they have so many personal problems.

Many of them have problems with their wives.

Many are hen pecked.

Unbelievable! But, true.

If they solve their personal problems they will be able to fight better.

I only know of Anthony from this TOC site and I must say I am very pleasantly surprised that there is such a Singaporean. I know there are good and kind people in Singapore but Anthony had taken many steps beyond, a reflection of his passion and courage to pursue a passion many would shun in a mercilessly materialistic society. Truly exceptional!

We may well have more “Anthonys” in Spore, unfortunately we do not hear about their work in MSM, or if we do, without any distortion, because they do not seem to be the flavour of the SG Govt. I say this because the SG Govt despises hand-outs (yet hand-outs are given in the name of Bonuses to those in charge for growing the GDP). MERITOCRACY (in name only) is the ‘in’ thing as it concerns GDP growth, leaving no room for compassion, graciousness, creativity, original thinking, daring to be different, pursuing your passion, humanity,…..

Anthony, may the Lord continue to bless your soul and all your family members.

Let’s hope that the 1,000 counsellors trained by Anthony will go forth and blossom into 1,000 similar souls. May then a thousand flowers bloom, so that Anthony’s wisdom and fortitude will live on.

Anthony Yeo should have been the mentor to the ruling party, and not some way past sell by date egocentric…………………. Things would have been different.

No wonder I don’t see us being a nation, not with the wrong type of personality mentoring the PM and his stooges…….. The reason also for so many stooges.

Anthony Yeo gave his best unselfishly. R.I.P.

R.I.P. Anthony Yeo, you have given your best unselfishly.

#4) Money not important on July 2nd, 2009 7.13 pm

Anthony was also not very concerned about his salary as a counsellor after many years. He was dedicated and loved his profession very much, something very rare in today’s professionals, who are very much motivated by money than the love of the job

As you can see this Anothon LEE is not like the Other Lee. Money is not important indeed. Love of the people and job is his key.

RIP Anthony.

A man much admired and one who truly inspires. And though there may be many others who scorn his good name, Anthony has only been nothing but a generous, understanding and loving gentle giant. May we learn from his life.

Rest in peace Anthony.

And of course in Singapore politics, money (salary) rank very high in getting people in, whether they love the job or not. Have you heard of reluctant politicians?

This is not the impression once gets from ST about Anthony; but then again, whenever ST sings praises about Judges, MPs, grassroots leaders etc who passed away, I take it with a pail of salt.

RIP, Anthony.

I have read one of his counselling book “Counselling Techniques” when i was taking a course on counselling and was impressed with his experience and knowledge.

Such books are normally written by Americans or Aussies. He must be one of the rare few that wrote books on such topic.

Though I have not met him I have read some of his articles on papers and even TOC. He strucked me as radical and fiery. He sticked to his guns and never waver unlike some of us. He never want to be a follower but a leader.

Some of my friends who studied at his college on counselling told me that they have learnt much from this gentle giant.

I guess what we can learn from Anthony is to have a big heart and always follow after your dream. When you give to others you naturally find yourself.

Anthony deserves every word that you have written about him.
No doubt he left too soon, but let’s hope and pray that his legacy will
not be wasted on those materialistic people in Singapore.

May his soul rest in peace.
