SINGAPORE: President Halimah Yacob and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Friday (Sep 9) sent letters of condolences to British leaders after the death of ...

Her Majesty The Queen was the very heart and soul of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom has remained a valued defence partner under the Five Power Defence Arrangements, and last year we were glad to welcome the HMS Queen Elizabeth II to our shores on its historic tour of the region. Over the years, Her Majesty maintained her fondness for and friendship with Singaporeans. I warmly recall her State Visits to Singapore – in 1972, 1989 and 2006, especially the lunch I hosted for her at the Fullerton Hotel in 2006. Her Majesty’s deep sense of duty, unwavering devotion and countless contributions over a lifetime have left an indelible mark on our collective history and inspired millions around the world, including Singaporeans. As we commemorate her reign, I have no doubt the world will long continue to draw inspiration and strength from Her Majesty’s life story and contributions. The Queen will be remembered and missed dearly. Being the first-ever State Visit to the United Kingdom by a Singapore President, Her Majesty presided over a momentous occasion in our bilateral relations, and her State Banquet speech paid an inspiring tribute to the two centuries of shared history between Singapore and the United Kingdom, as well as Singapore’s achievements on the eve of our 50th year of independence. On behalf of the people of Singapore, my husband and I extend our most heartfelt condolences during this time of grief. She was, and will forever continue to be, a wellspring of strength and inspiration not just for the British people but also for the people in the Commonwealth and beyond. Her Majesty was also a noted patron of numerous charities and an ardent supporter of the arts. She will be fondly remembered for dedicating her life to service during her long reign, overseeing a period of remarkable evolution in British society and the United Kingdom’s role in the world.
