In August 1989, at the National Day Rally, then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew said:
"To build a country, you need passion. When we fought in 1961-63, against the communists, when we went through hell in 1963-1965, many people thought we were crazy. We could lead peaceful quiet lives. Why are we doing this?
This is my country. This is my life. This is my people. You will trample over us, over our dead bodies. We dug our toes in. We built a nation."
On 16 September 1923, Mr Lee Kuan Yew was born. He was a gift to us. We owe it to Yew.
