With a sorrowful heart, we witnessed the passing of Singapore’s founding father Mr Lee Kuan Yew. President Joko Widodo flew here to pay his last respect to the man who had contributed his life to Singapore and changed the lives of its citizens. Leaders from many countries looked up to him; one of them is Indonesia’s Mformer president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. In his condolences, he mentioned that “Mr Lee has devoted his whole life to delivering remarkable progress to Singapore and has worked hard to develop close relations with Indonesia.” On a brighter note, we share our joy with Dr SBY for being conferred the ISEAS Distinguished Honorary Fellow Award in April. Besides receiving the award, he was also the keynote speaker at the inaugural Singapore Forum. The year 2015 is going to be an eventful year for Singapore as it welcomes the SEA Games this June.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2013/2014 1 Grow with Us
    ANNUAL REPORT 2013/2014 1 Grow With Us The seeds of Singapore’s greening campaign were sown in 1963, when former Prime Minster Mr Lee Kuan Yew planted a Mempat tree at Farrer Circus. Fifty years later on 16 June 2013, he set a Rain Tree sapling firmly in the ground at Holland Village Park, marking the start of a series of activities to commemorate our greening journey. As we look back at the greening efforts over the past 50 years, we can see the dramatic transformation that has taken place in Singapore’s landscape as we transitioned from those nascent years to a Garden City and now to our City in a Garden. Going forward, we will continue to be guided by the vision of our pioneering leaders to make Singapore a distinctive and attractive place to live in. We will continue to build on the foundations that have been laid over the past five decades and we invite everyone – individuals, communities and corporations – to Grow With Us.
