Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore
A Tribute Album on His 99th Birthday Today
SINGAPORE IS NOT EASY.
It took hard work, discipline, long patience, deep endurance, resilience, diligence, many lessons from mistakes, and lots of good fortune to get to where we are today.
Lee Kuan Yew (and his leadership teams) led Singapore to emerge more prosperous, stronger, more rugged, more resilient, more robust, and truly independent. Our birthright to survive with independent sovereignty cannot and must never be compromised or sacrificed. Our authenticity as a sovereign nation providing exceptional value to the world has always been visibly demonstrated without any equivocation.
Singapore had emerged more prosperous, stronger, more rugged, more resilient, more robust, and truly independent. Our birthright to survive with independent sovereignty cannot and must never be compromised or sacrificed.
Our greatest moment as “One People, One Nation” was in picking up the pieces of our young nation when so many had written us Off. We had believed in one another when we failed in our Merger victory, and we prevailed. It is always easier to keep our faith and belief when we are succeeding.
On his 99th birthday today, as we grapple with new survival issues, let it not be forgotten that we once had a difficult birth, a risky delivery, a vulnerable existence, and a daunting struggle to continually assert our right to live among other nations as a Sovereign Nation deserving of their respect, friendship, and admiration. With Lee Kuan Yew as our constant anchor inspiration, we shall continue to believe in each other and ourselves as we march into the epoch of the Pacific Century together with the global community of nations.
The following Album collections are selected as a Tribute to the Man who took Singapore from obscurity to world-class stature. They highlight some exceptional features of Singapore.
