Offered in: English

Who is Mr. Lee Kuan Yew? What was he like as a young boy, a husband, a father and a friend? What were his values? How were they shaped? Much of what we know of Singapore's founding father is inextricably tied to the Singapore story. But what was he like as a man?

How much of Mr. Lee's childhood do you know of? What was his relationship like with his mother, grandmother and father?

Next, we chart out the beautiful love story of Mr. and Mrs. Lee, how they met and how their relationship blossomed. We share episodes and uncover gems about the mutual love, admiration and respect they had for one another.

We also visit Oxley Road, the Lees residence for 50 years. A visit to their humble home cannot go without mentioning his simple ways and lifestyle. Next is Tanjong Pagar, the constituency Mr. Lee choose as his home base for nearly 60 years.

And to our final stop, we end off in front of the steps at the National Gallery Singapore in front of the Padang.
