NeverLand by F.I.R

Being a toddler at the time when you stepped up to guide Singapore and its residents, I did not know the efforts that you've put in to let me enjoy the security and assured childhood that I've had. When you retired from presidency, I was struggling with my PSLE in a country with stable economy. It was only now, after you left us, that I realised all the hardwork you've done.
A People's President, you earned the title through your always present smile, warmth and unselfish concern for the ordinary Singaporeans. Unrealisingly, you command hordes of fans no less than a superstar and the respect of people no less than a war hero.
Although you're gone physically, but you'll always live in the hearts of Singaporeans of this generation, and the minds of our future descendants when they study about you in their history textbooks.
Even till the end, you chose to be like a commoner, just like what you've always done.
Thank you for all that you've put in, from the heart of a remorseful young Singaporean who only realises your importance when you're gone. R.I.P.
