Im a 58 yo s'porean. When I was young lived in a kampong with bucket system toilet. Whole kampong floods whenever it rains. Mosquito infested and snake infested as well. Now S'pore is a great city to live in. Majulah Singapura! And may God continue to bless our Nation.

Singapore is always a trendsetter. A strong success story that makes the so-called western world look in awe and envy.

I really miss Singapore..I went there in 2014..Its one the greatest countries I've visited in my life..

S'pore is clean, low in crime, that's why l love this city. Who cares its fake in some natures, at least they do something about pleasant it. Remember, S'pore is one of the smallest city in the world yet they doing good to prosper the nation and upgrade the environment. Look other third world countries still living in an nclean environment and lifestyles after decade and decade of years passed by still no

Love seeing things like this, people genuinely caring about their collective well-being and improving quality of life for everyone around including themselves. Our history has so much revolved about wars, dictators, people whose main concern is their own thirst for power, and it never ends well, wish we follow Singapore example in a global scale and improve as a whole.

I had a 24 hour layover in Singapore. Loved it. Got to see the Beautiful Garden and some of the city. Even tho I got food poisoning, I will go again.

Singapore is a great country to live and work as a software engineer. If you're an computer engineering or electronics and communication engineering graduate it has a great opportunity in Information technology.

I once said I wish I want to come back as a Japanese. I'm changing to say, I wish I was a Singaporean child.

"coding" is such an interesting way to view understanding mechanisms. Not many people will literally code in a few years with any likelyhood. The mechanisms built with languages like Java and Python can be constructed with many other tools and those architectures are what people should be thinking about, not coding as it exists.

been to Singapore two-three times and experienced the city life first hand. True it is an urban legend in terms of the growth and innovation it has sustained, and continuing to sustain. I personally know many experts in my field supporting my take on Singapore. As a city planner, didn't fell in love with the city. Felt there was something missing in the midst of all these well-planned, clean and high-tech urban spaces. You could almost read this in the faces of locals; most of them seemed not entirely happy; you can also feel a little bit of tension whenever you are in a public space. Didn't see much wildlife in the urban greens; it felt artificial. But for some reason, you cannot point out and say this is what they are missing; it looks all is perfect, but, definitely there is something missing!

Other big countries used to look down on this little red dot and dismissed it away.

"This was a mud flat, swamp! Now this is a modern city. Ten years from now, this is a metropolis!" And so it was. No one could do it better than you, Mr. LKY, simply no one!
