Previously, there was a heated debate in here when someone posted about how Singapore was a fishing village until the PAP took over.
We now have our President Nathan saying the exact same thing during his trip to Mauritius.

It is particularly interesting to me that your early beginnings and growth story since independence is one that mirrors Singapore’s own transformation from a fishing village into a colony to a bustling economy.Mauritius, like Singapore and other newly independent States, entered the post-colonial era with a high level of poverty. Today, both our countries are hailed as economic miracles, but we know that it was more than just a miracle. It was because our founding fathers boldly defied the odds to build improbable countries from mere islands lacking in natural resources. They succeeded through sheer political will, strong visionary leadership, hard work and good governance,” he said.
