A Vision of Persistence


I have seen you many times, Mr Jeyaratnam, or may I affectionately call you Mr JBJ. I have seen you on the streets, waving your book and party newsletter in front of me. The last time I saw you in person was almost two years ago.

Even until the day you fell, never once did you give up.

It is a sad day for all Singaporeans. Look beyond the exhilaration of Formula One. Singapore has just lost one of her most hardworking sons.

Even though I do not believe in what you preach, I express my heartfelt admiration for your persistence in what you believe in.

Thank you for everything, Mr JBJ.

Rest in peace, The Hatchet Man of Singapore.
