Singapore’s first founding father Mr Lee Kuan Yew passed away at the Singapore General Hospital early this morning. He was 91.
As the nation comes to terms with her loss, here are some of the more notable condolences from the web, as posted by prominent public figures.

Heart-wrenching to hear Mr Lee Hsien Loong's speech as he chokes back his tears. Above all, this man has lost his father.

Just saw a friend write "For anyone who seeks Lee Kuan Yew's monument and legacy, just look around you." Could not have been better said.
