Golden Age of Singapore-Emma

Golden Age of Singapore

Golden age;

An idyllic, often imaginary past time of peace, prosperity,

the period when a Specified art or activity is at its peak.

The Golden Age of China was during the Tang Period of literature and art. While there were other areas of great progress, no other areas reached the height of its developments like the arts which include painting, poetry, and pottery.

Singapore has recently lost its founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. He is also the person who contributed to Singapore's great success and Golden Age. The whole of Singapore is greatly saddened by this news and our nation declared a week period to mourn for him.

Mr Lee Kuan Yew was our leader who went through all the hardships and overcome all the difficulties to make what Singapore is today. He is respected and admired internationally by the different world leaders. 

I think that we are now living in Singapore’s Golden Age. There are so many things to do, so many places to see. Which other city in the world can offer you a Formula 1 race, pandas and many other unique things? Statistics and surveys support how this is a country at its peak. In fact, it’s reached a stage where being voted most live able city or best place to do business or eighth richest country. All these achievements would not be present without Mr Lee Kuan Yew's endless contribution. From a third world country, a small fishing village to a first world developed city, a metropolis.   

Mr Lee Kuan Yew has dedicated his whole life on building Singapore up. Being the first prime minister of Singapore. Singapore was just a little red dot with nothing to spare. But because of him we now live harmoniously with people from different races and religion. Because of him, many of us in have a roof on top of our heads. Because of him we have drinkable clean water running in our taps. Because of him, we can have a better education. Because of him, our country has tall skyscrapers and also named the garden city.

Since Singapore is at its Golden Age now, it is our job to make sure we stay the way we are now and continue making contributions to our society in order to preserve his legacy. As the future generation of Singapore, we must work hard in maintaining peace and harmony among our nation. We will continue to have a clean and green city with fresh drinkable water. Even without Mr Lee's help, we will continue to prosper as a whole and improve much more within the years.  We need to take up the responsibility and develop Singapore to be an even better nation, thus letting Mr Lee rest in peace seeing us developing what he has built within the years :)
