Unlike how the high profile of political leaders' spouses were in other countries, I have never remembered if Mrs Lee Kuan Yew was ever a face for any social causes, organisations or anything vaguely related to politics.
Since yesterday, the internet was abuzz with news of her passing, and tributes poured in, published in the Sunday's Times. Stories of her devotion to her husband and family were abound. The ever Asian wife, as she was quoted as always walking two steps behind Mr . Lee. Even though she could have had a stellar legal career of her own, she chose her path to stay in the background, and stuck to it.
No matter what the views are on LKY's political position in Singapore..this is a story of two devoted persons, who had walked through 60 years of their lives together.
My condolences to the family for their losses.
