Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) I mate a Lee Kuan Yew, te Pirimia whakatū o Singapore, i te ata o te Mane, e ai ki tētahi kōrero i tukuna e te tari o te Pirimia o Singapore o nāianei a Lee Hsien Loong. E 91 ōna tau. I mate a Lee i runga i te rangimarie i Singapore General Hospital i te 3:18 o te ata, e ai ki te korero. I noho ia ki te hōhipera i te mate pneumonia mai i te 5 o Hui-tanguru. I whanau mai a Lee i te tau 1923, i whakatūria e ia te taone nui i te tau 1965 i te wa i whakapuakihia ai tana mana motuhake mai i Malaysia, a ko ia te perehitini mo te neke atu i te toru tekau tau. "Ko te tuatahi o o tatou matua whakatū kua kore", te Pirimia Lee Hsien Loong, ko wai te tama a Lee, i korero ki te iwi i roto i te korero pouaka whakaata i te Mane. "I whawhai ia mo to tatou mana motuhake, i hanga i tetahi iwi i te mea kaore he mea, a ka whakapehapeha matou ki te noho Singaporeans", ka mea a Lee. Ko te hanga i a Singapore te hiahia nui ki a ia, i kii te Pirimia, i te panui i tetahi korero mai i tana papa: "I te mutunga o te ra he aha taku? He Singapore angitu. He aha te mea kua whakarerea e ahau? Ko toku oranga". Ka takoto te tinana o Lee ki te Whare Pāremata mai i te Wenerei ki te Rāhoroi. Ka tū tētahi tangihanga kāwanatanga hei te Rātapu. I tukuna e te Hekeretari Matua o te UN a Ban Ki-moon tetahi korero mihi me te kii ko Lee "i awhina i a Singapore ki te huri mai i te whenua whanake ki tetahi o nga whenua tino whanake o te ao, ka huri hei pokapū pakihi o te ao". I karanga a Perehitini Obama ki a Lee he matakite i awhina i a ia ki te whakatakoto i te kaupapa here a US mo te "whakataurite ki te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa o Ahia", i te wa i tutaki ai te tokorua ki Singapore i te tau 2009. "He tangata tino nui ia o te hitori ka maumahara ki a ia mo nga whakatupuranga e haere mai ana hei papa o Singapore hou me tetahi o nga rautaki nui o nga mahi a Ahia", i kii te Perehitini. I whakamoemiti hoki te Hekeretari o te Kawanatanga o U.S. a John Kerry ki te tohutohu i riro mai i a Lee, e kii ana ko "te mea tino nui me te mohio kua riro mai i ahau". "Ko ia, ko te mea pono, he kaitohutohu me te kaitirotiro o Ahia, a, ko te nuinga o te mahi a tona oranga i riro ai a Singapore hei tetahi o nga hoa rautaki kaha o te United States i roto i te rohe", ko te korero a Kerry. Ko te Perehitini o mua a George...
