Rising From The Rubble - Singapore Story

I was feeling down. But when things seem their worst, they can only get better.

Remembered a tale me late grandfather told me. About our minister mentor, then prime minister Lee Kuan Yew. The day he cried in front of the nation he led.

Dug up an old video -- about when Singapore was kicked out of Malaysia. With no natural resources, correct me if I'm wrong but I remember grandpa saying that Singapore had only $4,000 savings, as a nation. We seemed doomed.



Not enough drinking water. Not enough resources to support the nation. The only thing we had -- our people.

Our forefathers struggled to build our nation.

This is Singapore today.
