when a man leaves this world, you know he still lives on through his deeds and the stories people he had touched will continue to tell. our former president is such a man.

also one who remained humble, unconcious of status. in his own words;

"we, in the eyes of god are all the same. take away the president from my name and i am like any other man" ~ pres. wkw.

and so he will have his resting place at mandai crematorium like the ordinary man instead of kranji the reserved place for high officials and presidents.
