If Singapore was nothing more than a fishing village in 1965...

Typical PAP supporters like to say that Singapore was nothing more than a fishing village before Lee Kuan Yew came and transformed it.
Then what is this? Was Raffles Hotel a gathering place for fishermen?




I think PAP supporters tend to confuse Lee Kuan Yew with Stamford Raffles a lot, especially those who like to talk about the "Post 65" generation being "soft". Among other things, PAP was already running Singapore in 1959. Shouldn't it be "Post 59" generation? Or would that exclude too many people who are classified everywhere else in the world as "Baby Boomers"? The greediest generation.
