Lee Kuan Yew ta singapore hadnna puluwan une menna me nisa:In 1965, on the day singapore became independent, Mr Lee Kuan Yew said Singapore is "not a Malay nation, not a Chinese nation, not an Indian nation. Everybody will have a place in Singapore."He said this to assure the minorities in Singapore that they would always be protected and not be treated worse than the majority. But he also said this to remind the Chinese majority never to oppress the non-Chinese, because they themselves had felt squatted upon when Singapore was in Malaysia. It was a two-part message - not only to reassure the minorities but at the same time, give a sober reminder to the majority not to over step their bounds, and make life miserable for those who are not the same colour as them.</blockquote>
