singapore is going to be 46 yrs old, so, should we thank:
a) Sir Stamford Raffles for his acumen to recognise our potential as a entrepot & setup up a trading settlement here?
b) The Johor sultanate for being so stoopid to agree to give jurisdiction of Singapore away to Raffles for a token sum of money
c) Japan for invading us & giving us 3 year 8 mth of shit to recognise that British rulers are fucked up n will fuck off when in danger.
c) LKY and PAP for shaping modern Singapore?
