They created a digital video installation of tweets on Mr Lee. They developed a web app which pulls together tribute tweets and combines them with video clips of iconic moments in Mr Lee’s life. Users can add their tributes to the page at ahkong.sg.

Tribal brought it a little closer to home and echoed a term that many Singaporeans used to call him – ‘Ah Kong’.  Ah Kong’ is Hokkien for grandfather. Some use it as a term of endearment, some as a form of respect, even awe for Singapore’s founding father.

Regardless of race, language, religion and political creed, Mr Lee Kuan Yew has undeniably given his entire life to build the nation of Singapore. A place he has brought from third-world country to first-world nation. He will forever be ‘Ah Kong’ Singaporeans will never forget him and what he has done for it’s citizens and the country.
