42 years ago when Singapore became independent, she was a land without natural resources, only human resources.

She had a bunch of visionary cabinet leaders headed by Mr Lee Kuan Yew, the late Mr Rajaratnam, and Dr Goh Keng Swee and their cohorts who had sacrificed talents and time to build up Singapore to where she is.

Tributes given to these first generation of leaders who helped the citizens battled through natural disaster like water rationing; racial riots and communism that had been infiltrating this area.

The leaders had the vision to provide housing for the people. Today, about 90% of the population are home-owners, living in high-rise flats on this island city.

Happy 42nd birthday of independence!

May peace reign and prosperity flourish for years to come!

Children Learn What They Live

If children live with hostility,

they learn to fight.

If children live with ridicule,

they learn to be shy.

If children live with tolerance,

they learn to be patient.

If children live with encouragement,

they learn confidence.

If children live with praise,

they learn to appreciate.

If children live with fairness,

they learn justice.

If children live with security,

they learn faith.

If children live with approval,

they learn to like themselves.

If children live with acceptance, and friendship,

they learn to find love in the world.
