I never got to visit Singapore, but we had a class groupwork recently about how Singapore flourished from an Asian backwater into a very rich nation and a technologically-oriented society.

It was fantastic.

The outskirts turned from villages (Kampongs) into High rise buildings called HDBs.

Most likely looked very different than back then, since I've visited the museums, read books and stuff about our past.

Also, I nearly forgot you were that old.

Lol

I know it has changed massively.

I keep watching programmes on TV that mention Singapore. Great Railway Journeys was one and an NHK programme about otters living in Singapore City.

There were some islands I used to visit on the sampans - The Sister Islands and Hantu.

Like you say no matter how many times they are repeated they are still very interesting.

My friend went to Pulau Hantu, seems nice.
It's actually very interesting to see how this island grew though, from separation with Malaysia, aka Independence despite not wanting it, to a rich island.

Hantu means Ghost/Demon in both Malay and Indonesian

I've went to Indonesia, in Sumatra to meet my grandma, and my mom's side of the family.

No sadly I haven't, at least not that I can remember.

I got close to Malaya once when a boat I was in broke down in the Jahore Straits! Lol

Indonesia covers a massive area I bet there are some wonderful things to see amongst all those lovely islands.

My dad went to an Idyllic West sumatran town, sawahlunto, to take inspiration for a tourist attraction.

sawahlunto is considered a UNESCO world heritage site

*During an appearance on a Radio South Baba (RSB) phone-in program, the Leader of the NAP has spoken to the South Baba City restaurant owner that famously questioned him on the campaign trail a few weeks ago. The party leader thanked the man, now an NAP supporter, for his help in getting his policies heard and for promoting civilized political debate within the country*

SR RP

*After a disappointingly uneventful third debate, party leaders are restlessly using the last two days of the campaign to deliver their closing statements to voters. The SBG is looking to drive away SDF support in Baba-del-Sur province whilst the NAP is hoping for gains in Canning and Nuoca*

*Up until midnight on Sunday, the Prime Minister will hold events in Bocaugh, Babashire, New Leeds and Cardoza while the Leader of the PRP is campaigning in Baba-del-Sur and Babashire*

*The latest Taroega University pre-election poll has the SDF up by five points nationally and holding a steady lead over the PRP in Baba-del-Sur and Cardoza*

the political compass does not work but i can learn that i am right wing

so the truth is that globalisim is a left wing ideology not a right wing one
