What are your thoughts on the founders' memorial?

[default]

I think is damn bo liao. most likely will force kids to go and maybe new citizens to go for NE lesson

i can almost dare bet this would be the case. then use the monies they give for education and whatever crap to left pocket right pocket to maintain the founders' memorial

somemore it's at such an important spot.

go there do what? bring joss sticks? will have a big statue of LKY ?

LKY alr said he doesnt want something like that. the best legacy for him and his team is to keep Singapore going.

So if really want something memorial, something of a smaller scale would do

what are they going to put there that would make people visit? they think is casino or GBTB or zoo or sentosa ah?

u cant put a theme park there and nothing to put there except some old exhibits, plagues and things on history lessons.......... need to spend 300m?

they going to at most screen some movies there, show old Singapore landscape and maybe some 3D visual thing nia

will put a statue, giant urn and some incense burner for u to put joss sticks or not?

if want to be like that remember to put a donations box for people to donate and make a wish please

History
Singapore's first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, died on 23 March 2015. Lee had made it clear over the years that he did not want a monument solely to himself, and his will specified that his house at 38 Oxley Road was to be demolished. In a parliamentary statement[4] on 13 April 2015, his son Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong stated:

Mr Lee was always conscious that he did not act alone, but as a member of a team. His core team included Goh Keng Swee, S Rajaratnam, Othman Wok, Hon Sui Sen, Lim Kim San, amongst others. It was a multi-racial team who complemented one another's strengths, trusted one another implicitly, and through their joint efforts created a prosperous, fair and just society in Singapore. Mr Lee himself said he was only primus inter pares – first among equals. So it is appropriate that we consider how to honour not just Mr Lee, but also our other founding fathers.

One idea that has been suggested is to have a memorial for all of the founding fathers, perhaps coupled with an exhibition gallery to honour their legacy and educate future generations. Indeed, Mr Lee himself had thought that there was value in such a memorial.

I agree that this concept merits further consideration. A founder's memorial need not be a grand structure, but it must stand for our ideals, our values, our hopes and aspirations. It must belong to all Singaporeans and mean something significant to us all. It should be a place where we and future generations can remember a key period in our history, reflect on the ideals of our founding fathers, and pledge to continue their work of nation building.

The site was selected in 2018, after choosing between Gardens by the Bay and Fort Canning Park.[5]
