Paying Tribute To An Exceptional Person – Ho Yeow SUN

SUN…a name that is synonymous with LOVE.

I am simply amazed by what she has done. Not just the amount of work she has put in but also by the magnitude of each undertaking. All these motivated simply by love.

But it has definitely come with a price. No one could ever imagine or fathom the amount of sacrifices she has put in, the amount of allegations and brickbats she has to take, for the very simple thing that she loves to do, sing. And out of that, it’s about making music that can mend hearts, that can bring solace, that can inspire, that touches.

It’s not about the fame, wealth, adulations, awards, prizes, it’s definitely not about self. What it’s really about is loving people. It’s about touching their lives and bringing about a positive change to the world. Even if it’s one life at a time, it would be all worth it for her.

Who can, without any agenda, continue under intense media and public scrutiny who’s finding every chance to jump upon her for what they perceived as controversial, wrong, defile…? And it’s not an agenda about being famous, earning buckloads of money, but an agenda about love.

So it’s NOT about Sun the singer today, but about Sun THE person. She deserves every accolades from us for the amount and the magnitude of work she has done, the selfless sacrifices she has made, the unbridled love she has poured out.

This is about expressing how much we love her, about paying tribute to a great woman who inspired many and helped many.

So join me in what you have to say…

(but please, nothing religious inclined or overtly vulgar)
