It started out as a muddy, swampy, isolated area; it was poor and nothing like the futuristic city that is now thriving. However, since the prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, planted a tree in a mudflat, this astounding city has been evolving rapidly: a plan was made for the first version of a new Singapore. He stated that this magnificent country: ‘values hard work’ and ‘can do anything when doing it’. This was closely followed by the clear up of the river and the commencing of the “annual tree planting day”! (Singapore now values nature highly and does a lot to prevent damage to the environment.) Later on, a second plan of the city was made, building the prosperous, green, beautiful city we know today.
