REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE
We will be here soon! :)
Singapore, with the total area of 648 sq. km. looks really tiny in the map, but became one of the world's wealthiest and most efficient trading and financial center lah. It was ruled by British for 135 years, from 1824-1959 and also became part of the Malaysian Federation from 1963-1965 mah.
Thanks to Prime Minister Lee and his successor Goh Chok for establishing the strong and authoritarian government. They have provided direction and stability for spectacular economic growth.
Singapore has a freedom of religion, but they have concerns when it comes to maintaining ethnic and religious harmony that they must not proclaim in public about their religious beliefs leh. And they must not be involve in politics.
In an open country with most number of Buddhism and Islam, is such a great win for us. Let's just pray that churches in Singapore will draw near together to have unity among churches. And let's also pray that Singapore may be a means of blessing the many less-evangelized nations and people around it.
Notice that I've using phrases like "lah," "mah" and "leh" right before my punctuation mark. It is because Singaporeans use this phrases in the end of the sentence. Phrases can end in "ah," "lah," "leh," "mah" and "what." We were practicing these phrases in school and it just so good to hear.
You're on your way towards becoming an ambassador for Christ. Keep on.
