Its national day for my country!
History
Long time ago a prince Sang Nila Utama went on a hunting trip on an untold land.A raging storm approached soon almost shipwrecking the boat Sang Nila was on.To save the crew,Sang Utama threw his crown into the sea and thus the storm subsided.
Soon they reached the island and rested for a day after the storm.A growl was heard Sang Nila and his man looked around before his advisor came forth saying that it was the roar of a lion, a beast of honor.Sang Nila decided that he would claim the island himself for the good fortune of Malaysia calling it singapura.
About 200 years later a man called Sir Stamford Raffles came aboard.After a quarrel with the Dutch,the signed a treaty with the Malay leader and sent up a trading port before the island was bought over.
While conditions begin to improve,Singapore was attack by the japanese.In this events there was hyperinflation,hunger,illness,cruelty and squalor.The japanese attack us on chinese new year making it the grimmest of all of them.
Soon the british return and liberated us of General Yamaßßßßa and his soldiers.Our happiness was short lived as living conditions were really bad.Most of us survived today due to one man Lee Kaun Yew.We joined Malaysia as we had to depend on it before being kicked out in 2 years.
That day marked our independance but many countries did not celebrate with us believing we will be destroyed quickly we no chance of survival.They mock us for only having very little land and no natural resources.
We worked hard fighting communism from a Superpower called Russia.Battling unions,strikes,riots,racism due to many races living among us and healthcare.Eventually we emerged as a economically sucessful nation and the 5th richest country as of today.
