HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY, SINGAPORE!

The very warmest wishes to our nation on its 40th birthday! There was a time when people said that Singapore won't make it, but we did. We most certainly have made it, and tonight's NDP was a brilliant showcase of how much we have accomplished in the past four decades as One People, One nation, One Singapore! I'm very proud to be a citizen of this great country! =)

My fellow Singaporeans, no matter what the future has in store for us, let us work in unison to forge an even better tomorrow! =)

"Let's reach out for the skies, with wings we'll soar up high.Our dreams we'll all achieve, let's soar and reach for the skies."
