His shadow and influence over Singapore and neighbouring countries will remain long after we have forgotten US leaders like Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama:

Modern Singapore's founding father, Lee Kuan Yew, dies at 91
By Rujun Shen and Rachel Armstrong

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's first prime minister, died on Monday aged 91, triggering a flood of tributes to the man who oversaw the tiny city-state's rapid rise from a British colonial backwater to a global trade and financial center.

U.S. President Barack Obama described Lee, who ruled Singapore for three decades, as "a true giant of history" whose advice on governance and economic development had been sought by other world leaders down the years.

Lee had receded from public and political life over the past few years, but he was still seen as an influential figure in the government of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, his oldest son.
