Singapore's last president Tony Tan ended his term on Thursday, August 31, and it's reasonably widely-acknowledged that his term was otherwise rather unremarkable compared to others.

Nonetheless, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong gave an 11-minute speech paying tribute to Tan's contributions to Singapore at his farewell ceremony at the Istana:

But putting his constructive work for the nation aside, it might surprise you that now-ex-President Tony Tan did leave us some unforgettable memories with his appearances on several occasions throughout his term.

So in tribute to him, here's a throwback to these moments we will remember as fondly as PM Lee said:

1. When he became Lee Kuan Yew in India:

We're sure he wanted it to be true as much as the rest of us.

4. When he had to thank his supporters amidst boos on Nomination Day in 2011:

Of course, he later said he was deeply disappointed by the jeering.

5. When he had to interview a boy who did not recognise him as the President:

6. His tearful Facebook sign-off ?:

7. With all due respect, we can't deny that we will always hold him close to our hearts for resembling one of our favourite food figures.
