Singapore celebrates 45 years of Independence

This little island state turns 45 today. Economically we have come quite far. Socially and culturally we have ways to go. Our future will always be uncertain given our small size and global exposure. We will not always succeed at being far-sighted. So we shall always have to be vigilant, even against ourselves. Time to remind ourselves not to take anything for granted. The more the PM smiles and he is always doing that, the more we need to learn to look after ourselves better. We are so well educated, why then do we need so much government help?
