President Tony Tan's condolence letter to Nathan's family
Dear Urmila
On behalf of the people of Singapore, Mary and I would like to convey our most heartfelt condolences to you and your family on the passing of your beloved husband, Mr SR Nathan.
Mr Nathan lived through an extraordinary period in Singapore's history and was one of our pioneers who had been intricately involved at various stages of our history in building the foundations of today's Singapore. He had an outstanding career in public service spanning more than five and a half decades since the 1950s. He rose from humble beginnings to become the sixth and longest-serving President of Singapore.
