Today would have been my mother’s 100th birthday. I wonder what she would have thought of this extraordinary year. She grew up in pre-war colonial Singapore, and lived through much – the Japanese Occupation, the struggle for independence, Merger and Separation, and nearly half a century of nation building and steady progress. I think she would have taken 2020 in her stride.
I reread my eulogy for her funeral service back in October 2010 (https://go.gov.sg/eulogyoct10). As she told me: “The older I get, the longer ago the things I remember”. Ten years on, the grief has faded, and Mama is remembered with warm and happy memories by all her loved ones. – LHL
