Birth of a nation 39 years ago

Singapore celebrates her independence for the 39th time since 1965. wat a long way. This is a special year too as the change in political leader takes place. The third generation leaders had emerged which will be led by DPM Lee who will sworn in to be our country's third prime minister. Read an article on paper today and find that young singaporeans r not very keen on political stuff. For me, i enjoy studying political stories due to the nature of my job and also an interest in this area. Ask me any designation of the minsters and i can tell u their name. Ha.... sounds very hao lian. hee... anyway, maybe most young singaporeans are over concern abt their 5Cs, relationship, job security, where to travel and etc. I feel that it is every singaporean responsiblity to know their political leaders and the things they do. Then we will better understand their plight and the tough decision that they have to make. Cos most of us would only pintpoint but do not really understand what is happening.

PM Goh got emotional as NDP paid a tribute for his contribution over the last 14 years. I could see tears in his eyes and yes he did deserve every singaporeans respect. This year NDP was alright, not much different from previous year except the last time PM Goh is standing as the prime minister. Next year, we will see him walking out from the holding area instead of a car escorting him into the stadium. Oh yes, i heard next year's NDP will be in Padang again. I think Padang is a better place cos that was the place when singapore declared independence in 1965. I think the place is more historical. Moreover, the landscape round that area had changed and i think it would create a different type of atmosphere in 2005 NDP. Happy Birthday Singapore!
