In Tribute to Mr Lee Kuan Yew 6 Sustaining Growth One man’s monumental role Singapore’s Founding Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew was the architect of modern Singapore, who oversaw its transformation from a colonial trading post into a bustling global economic powerhouse. Mr Lee passed away on Monday, 23 March 2015, aged 91. As flags flew at half-mast all across Singapore to mark seven days of national mourning, Keppel paused to remember Mr Lee’s monumental legacy. In particular, Mr Lee’s foresight and unrelenting determination was instrumental in leading and encouraging Singapore and Singaporean companies to succeed against the odds and beyond all expectations. Words of wisdom In a poignant ceremony held at Keppel Island on 25 March 2015, over 600 Keppelites across the Group, led by M r A b u B a k a r, M D o f Keppel Singmarine, paid tribute to Mr Lee as they collectively reflected on his invaluable contributions, abiding passion for the nation, and support for Singapore companies such as Keppel to grow and prosper. Having served alongside Mr Lee in the Singapore government, Dr Lee Boon Yang, Chairman of Keppel Corporation, called on Keppelites to honour M r L e e ’s l e g a c y i n h i s address to Keppelites (for full speech please see pages 3 to 5). Recalling how Mr Lee, in 1970, challenged Singapore’s shipyards to transform the country to the largest ship repair centre between the Persian Gulf and Japan, Dr Lee exhorted Keppelites to continue to “remain hungry” and to “make the effort to grow and thrive.” The national flag of Singapore and Keppel’s flag were flown at half-mast across all Keppel business units around the world Keppelite I March 2015
