Leaders from around the world have released statements offering their sympathies over yesterday’s passing of Lee Kuan Yew, the father of modern Singapore, and praising his many achievements.
Our former president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, took a slightly different tact than most world leaders by not simply releasing a statement but instead creating a video message honoring Lee.
In the video, which was released on SBY’s official Youtube channel yesterday evening, the former head of Indonesia expresses his heartfelt praise for Lee, whom he calls “a personal close friend” and “a true friend of Indonesia”.
