I'm not a trained writer or journalist but for what it's worth, it's well written. Somehow you've managed to combine both objectivity and subjectivity into one single piece. Regards.

My condolences to his loved ones and may I day meet again in His presence in Haeven. I recalled during my youthful days in the 70’s,I submitted an application to be a member of the WP.He

As part of the poor & oppressed group, there are many things we cannot do and for this I sincerely apologise. I strongly believe you have fought a good fight and finished the race and kept the faith. Thank you JBJ, God will bless your soul. For the righteousness you have lived your life and for fighting for our welfare, we honour and respect you.

My condolence and sympathy…. However, I’m sure JBJ in heaven would not want us to stop fighting the PAP. Let’s continue JBJ’s fight to stop the dominance of 1-party politics in Singapore. Let’s strive to bring true democracy to Singapore by encouraging Singaporeans to vote for pluralism in our politics.

Eric....hahahahahah..... Its a sad day lah....u only realise and miss something when its lost, i was browsing the net and came across interesting remarks, which JB would have been proud to read if he was alive...especially that of Eric's.....hahaha i read a lots on the net, but Ian Tan, your comments was very astonishing. It must have been scary to interview him, media being his biggest flaw at that time, but thanks for your frank opinions. He is a great man. The most interesting thing about him is that, he fought alone,....not even getting support from his sons, being a core anti government, he had his ideal principles, of which his sons are not tagged into and left alone to pursue their own interest with his support. Great man. Wow Ian Tan, i admire your frank remarks….what a day it must have been to be in the eyes of the firece lion….
