AP condoles death of Singapore's first PM Lee Kuan Yew
Press Trust of India Hyderabad The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly today condoled the death of Singapore first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.
The Assembly observed a two-minute silence in memory of the departed soul.
Hailing Lee Kuan Yew's leadership, AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said that Singapore's first Prime Minister turned around the city state from ruins after World War II and separated it from Malyasia with his far-sightedness.
Talking about ties between Andhra Pradesh and Singapore, he said that Singapore government agencies have been helping the state to draft a master plan for its core capital region near Vijayawada.
Singapore government agencies are doing the job for free without charging anything, he said.
