Parliament House, queuing up to “Pay Respect” to Dr Goh Keng Swee
I was queuing up among the many others in the line, waiting to ‘see’ and ‘Pay Respect’ to Dr Goh Keng Swee. This is my first time entering the Parliament House. I am not going to miss this great opportunity. Richard does not want to go with me. Luckily, Clara agreed to go with me. The security officers were very kind. They let me went in front first as I was carrying Isaac. So my queue was quite fast.
It took only a short while for everything to finish… and I was out of the Parliament House already. Outside the door, many reporters or journalists were waiting there. I did not know at first until two of them approached me — one from RazorTV and another one from Chinese Newspaper.
Many people involving reporters/journalists gathering outside the Parliament House
What is my feeling? Why do I come here? I was full of joy and excitement the very morning I woke up. I spent hours searching for clothes… I was so happy… I did not feel any grief at all. Do I know him? Know him? What do you mean by ‘Know him’? To know a person means SO MANY things. I can say I know him, Dr Goh Keng Swee, since I had watched his documentary on the TV ever since his death. I can say I do not know him, since I really do not know him personally — as in lunching with him, and even conversing with him. I had never never seen this person face to face, I had never talked to this person before at all. So can I say I know him? Or can I say I heard about him?
So how do I feel? Very frankly, I do not feel anything, though I heard of him and ‘knew’ him. But of course, he was a great person, given his tremendous contributions to the development of Singapore. However, there is someone who is greater than him, in my knowledge, in my mind and He had done even more things for me… and this world.

When we were young, we were often asked to write “My Best Friend”. I wrote about my best friend… But to our best friend, we might not be their best friend. It may be a one way traffic and not mutual — just like any love relationship as well. How many of my ‘best friend’ walked out of my life… I do not have any best friends anymore, soon… at my Secondary School. I felt lost, and I learned to be ‘independent’.
Today, I know who is my best friend, a friend who never betrays you, a friend who standby you when you have problems. Once, my best friend was Cebest, the dog who was supposed to be man’s best friend. However, The Lord took away his life. He had to go. Jesus brought him back to me again one night…
Jesus was my Saviour. I had witnessed his miraculous work, his amazing wonder and experienced “New Things”…
What attracted me to go to the Parliament House? The reporter asked why I went there. My answer was so stupid. I did not know what to say, even though I know in my mind, what it was. If I told them my answer, it would be so weird and really ‘stupid’. So I said,”Inspiration”… But truly, I had never been to the Parliament House before. I wanted to go there to see how the inside of the Parliament House looked like. I also wanted to see the coffin of Dr Goh Keng Swee. It was the words “I am the Resurrection and the Life” (that I saw in the TV) and the picture of the Last Supper at the coffin and the angels at the side of the coffin which I was so inspired.
Of course, I got ‘looked at’ Dr Goh Keng Swee. His face was grayish, but not scary… After the RazorTV journalists had gone, another Chinese Reporter came to ask for my Chinese Name. In the end, I think she did not have my answer, as I asked her why she wanted to know, blah blah blah… After talking and talking, I think I never tell her my chinese name at all, and she also forgot…
I did not express any signs of grief or sadness. On the contrary, I was filled with joy and happiness. I saw the miraculous wonder of God, The Resurrection…
