李光耀先生今日下葬。再次向这位二十世纪最后一位最伟大的政治家致敬！我对他的敬意，其实无关新加坡，无关他与中国或这里那里的关系。这是对一个超凡脱俗的头脑的敬意，献给一位具有超高的智商、深远的视野、强大的内心、无比务实的作风、自有分寸的猛政、为了坚持某些原则而近乎孤注一掷的担当和生活上清教徒般的自律精神的世所罕见的伟大华人。就智力的拥有和善加运用而言，他是神一样的存在，只不过偶尔之际创造了新加坡。我没有偶像，但精读了他写的所有书，世界观受到他的思想和语言的某种影响：尤其是，无需虚伪，直指问题本质，坚定而有分寸，为自己言行负起绝对责任！就他的政治生活而言，他大概像中国历史上人们所一直期盼的千古明君，而且真的五百年一千年才能有一个。在他的一生，就政治决策而言，他几乎总是正确的。明君之后，也许是宽松，也许是凌乱，后来人该为自己的选择负责了。

What I admire the most about Lee Kuan Yew is his intelligence, vision, firmness, power of analysis, sense of reality, no-nonsense, willingness to shoulder responsibility and face consequences for adhering to principles, as well as, the fact that he was almost always right. No one else is able to be so practical, direct and honest in dealing with people and work. As a person who calls this place home and has deeply invested in its future, I have both worries and hopes for a post-Lee Kuan Yew Singapore. His monopolization of power looked natural and appropriate given his superman ability to deliver performance. One thing is for sure: His ruling styles cannot and will not be replicated. After him, the political monopolization will disappear and uncertainties will inevitably rise. It is likely that Singapore will become more and more a country Lee Kuan Yew did not want it to be during his prime, but hopefully in good ways. To me, it all depends on whether Singapore will eventually become a place driven by self-interested political attitudes and popularism, or not. 

May he rest in peace.

李光耀先生千古！
