The golden age refers to:
-An idyllic, often imaginary past time of peace, prosperity, and happiness.
-The period when a specified art or activity is at its peak.
It is known that Singapore is experiencing it's golden age currently, where we are well-known and prosperous, where Singaporeans are living in ease. Recently, Singapore's founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, has passed away. Singaporeans are greatly grieved by this news but we have a lot to learn from him through his leadership to make Singapore successful. Singapore has been described as transitioning from the "third world to the first world in a single generation" under his leadership. Although his rule has been criticized by many from the west, he stood firm in his beliefs and had faith in Singapore. From here, I have learnt that we should not be affected by how others view us. If we believe in something, stay to it no matter what. Mr Lee has done much for us. With an unemployment rate of 2% only, Singapore is third in the global education league, possibly the world’s healthiest nation. 90% of Singaporeans own their own homes, which are mostly government built. Crime levels are almost the lowest in the world, Singapore is one of the least corrupted nations and its streets, public transport and public places are clean. Our success today is all thanks to him. Truly, we are heavy-hearted by the news of his death but, I believe we have the responsibility to keep this legacy going, to make Singapore a better place, to let him rest in peace.
