An article I saw on the Internet, which agrees that Sir Stamford Raffles is the founding father of Singapore.

1. Sir Stamford Raffles founded sg as a trading port. In another words, PSA is Raffles brainchild. LKY developed it using CPF funds. It was known as the Harbour Board.

2. Lim Yew Hock was the brainchild of HDB, formerly known as SIT. If you visit Redhill Close, the 7 storey buildings are still are still standing there. Water, electricity, sewarge and garbage removal infrastructures were there. Finally it was built with lifts, today, your PAP masters are talking about lift upgrading programme. Again present HDB houses were funded with CPF monies, the peasants were robbed of their land using Land Aquisition Act.

3. Sembawang Shipyard was known as Sembawang Naval base. It was completed during the late 30's. It had the world's largest dry dock measuring 300m x 75m. Today, it is competing for ship repairing jobs with the 3rd countries. Major ship building jobs are awarded the Japanese.

4. You don't have to be an archealogist, if you look at the major roads it will speak volumes:

a. Woodlands - Bt Timah Rd - Rochor Rd
b. Canberra Rd - Sembawang Rd - Upp Thomson Rd - i. Thomson Rd - Kg Java Rd -
Bt Timah Rd
ii. Lornie Rd - Farrer -
Queenway - Jln Bt Merah -
Eu tong Sen St
c. Victoria St - Sims Ave - Changi Rd
d. Serangoon Rd - Upp Serangoon Rd - Punggol Rd - Tampines Rd
e. Tiong Bahru, Commonwealth Ave, Commonwealth Ave West, Jln Bahar

5. These hospitals were there during British, Alexandra Hospital (formerly known as British Military Hospital), SGH (formerly known as Outram Road General Hospital), Toa Payoh General Hospital (now relocated as Changi General Hospital), Changi Hospital (now being haunted), Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Kendang Kerbau Hospital. During LKY's era only NUH was added which is insufficient to cater for the population increase.

6. Changi Airport was a mangrove swamp. The British cleared the land and built their Airbase, but Changi Airbase is still there. The commercial airport was Kallang Airport. Tengah, Selatar and Paya Lebar Airbase were built by the British.

7. University of Singapore and Nanyang University were built before LKY era. The British did built many schools and one such school is Raffles Instituition from which your master received his education from.

8. McRitche, Pierce and Selatar reservoirs were all built by British. Your master only know how recycle sewerage water.

Greetings.

This blog is revived! It was 'abandoned' in late 2007 due to some personal dispute with a "controversial couple". However, things has much improved and everyone has moved on.

The earlier blog was full of my disappoinment with "WSY". I am not saying what it means, but now I am a tertiary student with SIM Global and whatever happened in Polytechnic back then should stay there.

Liars will still be liars.

Despite Facebook, I feel that I still need a blog to write stories. The "What's on you mind" textbox in Facebook is being misused. Lots of my friends and "friends" are abusing it for their "glorious achievement" in the games they played. Seriously, who bothers about how much you earned in your farms, how many stuffs you steal from other mafia, what animals you reared in your zoo and so on?

Are you guilty?
