\nFormer President of Singapore, Mr S.R. Nathan, passed away peacefully on the night of 22 August 2016.
\nHe might not have been a real estate man, or a city planner, but he too was a builder of Singapore.
\nMr Nathan devoted his life to public service. His work in the labour movement helped ensure that working class men and women had the support they needed to put a roof over the heads of their families. As a member of Singapore\u2019s intelligence service, he, together with countless others, have made sure that Singaporeans can take a safe return home every day for granted.
\nAs President, he gave his approval twice to unlock the reserves and stabilised the economy, while his charitable endeavours have raised over $150 million for those in need.
\nAs a person who thought he would spend his life as a hawker\u2019s assistant, but went on to hold the highest office of our land, he teaches us that it is not our beginnings that matter, but our destination and the good work that we do along the way.
\nMr Nathan spent a lifetime in public service, and we are grateful for his lifetime of contributions towards building Singapore.
\nHe is survived by his wife, daughter, son and three grandchildren.
\nFrom the team at PropertyGuru, we offer our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
