This may crop up in the near future.

 

For the record. I am not a supporter of the current regime. I support LKY, the man though.

 

Thoughts?

I voted 'No'.

 

Not of disrespect or any other reasons. I much preferred it to be "Lee Kuan Yew Air Hub" followed by "Terminal 1" "Terminal 2" etc.

too confusing......Changi Airport name is already in most travellers mind.

 

Maybe LKY building in the NUS or Memorial Hall or hospital under his name.

I rather leave Changi Airport as it is.

 

But I do hope among the few things to name after, we will have a major road named after him.

 

Eg: Lee Kuan Yew Boulevard in the our new financial centre or the road in front of the old supreme court which was the scene of many historic moments in our nation's history?

 

Similar to how Raffles Place is named after Sir S.R.

 

Maybe rename our stadium?

 

Just tossing ideas.

Nope, this is silly. changi airport will always be changi airport.

 

Want to commemorate him? Setup a school instead.

 

Eg. LKY institution. Like RI.

I voted 'No'.

 

As Tanjong Pagar was the constituency where he won n there are plans to redevelop that area. We should consider there instead.

Changi Airport is a well known name.

Always No 1 or close.

 

Naming a road after LKY is not a large/big/great enough memorial

 

If the airport is renamed it should be Lee Kuan Yew Airport and not just LKY Airport.

 

Worth thinking about to see if other ideas occur, because he didn't just develop an airport..

leave Changi International Airport alone ...

 

there are

 

Tan Tock Seng hospital

Khoo Teck Puat hospital

Ng Teng Fong hospital

Lee Kong Chian library

Devan Nair institute

etc

 

i heard the news that one of LKY vision is to make Singapore a garden city

i would suggest to rename one of the garden or make new garden name Lee Kuan Yew Garden .... [thumbsup]

 

other regular choices would be building or university or building in university

with all due respect to the late Madam Kwa

LKY, the founding father of Singapore ...

the naming must be something that is significant in terms of size, impact and remembrance for the future generation of singapore

 

i'm sure this has come to ministers mind for many times liao

they would have "solid" suggestions and proposals ... if they wish to do it

 

There is a Kwa Geok Choo Law Library in SMU.

 

Something similar so they can be together forever would be appropriate.
