I still remember my Grandma lives in a kampong in 1985. Somewhere further up Simpang Bedok along Upper Changi Road.

LKY was lying again.

Areas where the Ang Mohs lived and worked were developed but the rest of the Island where sinkies lived was nothing more than swampland dotted with fishing villages.

I should know because I lived in one of those villages.

That was because the Brits were thinking ahead to preserve as much nature for posterity you twit!
 
Re: Singapore was NOT a fishing village in 1965

Oh no need to argue on this fishing village thing anymore, Singapore was a modern city in 1965. LKY himself said so. I have a thread on this that moderator can merge it here.

I watched the nation building show on TV said PAP built 50k flats in 5 years or so and by 1976, 50 percent already staying in HDB. I think they had done well and we can credit them on that.
