the year which the rain fall
singapore has just celebrated her 40 birthday. young and small as she is, she homes 4 million people. her economy might be at risk, her countrymen might have loss their directions, no one knows where would singapore be 10 years down the road.40 year ago singapore faces the same crisis too, and 37 years ago singaporean made their stand and mounded their future. 37 year year ago, the year when rain fall mercilessly during the national day parade. at that moment, everyone on the field, on the spectector stand had no idea what to do, to run for shelter or to carry on. not a single student bulge on the field, none of the spectator ran for cover and at that point of time, the decision then rested solely on the president and the ministers. those people on the field and the spectator back then, i believe they were all ready to carry on, to fight against the weather, to take the risk, they were just waiting for an affirmation, a leader to guide them to battle through the storm. and the ministers gave it a go, a risk, a bet and that shaped the singapore of today.
today singaproe faces another challenge. the rising of china and india. many question would singapore be able to survive. this is a question. i wonder if the rain fall again what would singaporean do. would we take the risk...
