Why Singaporeans should be proud of its leaders

When I was still teaching, I heard many young adults bitching about the Singapore government and its policies and all.

While I don't fully agree with all the actions and decisions that our government makes and takes, I do have a healthy amount of respect and pride for our leaders.

Especially Mr Lee Kuan Yew.. the man who had amazing foresight and leadership.. to do what no other country leader had done for their home as he had done for Singapore. Even in his advanced years, he is still able to demonstrate the sharpness of his mind and the ability to think way way ahead of others.
