The founding father of modern Singapore and the first prime minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, passed away on March 23, 2015 aged 91. Known for his market-friendly policies and his sharp tongue, quick wit and controversial remarks, Lee was in power for 31 years, overseeing the island's transformation from a port city battling crime and poverty into one of Asia's most prosperous nations. A tribute to the architect of modern Singapore in pictures.
