This brought tears to my eyes. And I'm a 25 year old guy born post-Independence. Obviously I was not around to experience the pangs of my nation's birth and cannot viscerally compare the conditions before and after the war. But the fact that I am one of the beneficiaries of modern history's preeminent socio-economic developmental success story has never been lost on me. I am agnostic, so I do not thank "god" for this. Instead, I bow in gratitude to that god among men - Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
