How Could A Small Country WITHOUT Natural Resources Survive?

In the evening, we took the MRT from Buangkok station which had been a white elephant for some time until it was open for operation recently. We were on our way to the Marina Bay where the Chinese New Year celebrations were held.

My daughter was reading her book on Social Studies and was at this chapter that talked about Education in Singapore. I was fiddling with my three-year old Canon S40 Digital Camera. There were so many functions that I have not fully explored. I discovered a new function and was testing it out. So, I took a close-up shot of the page she was reading.

The page of the book reminded me of how the country, after independence, survived without natural resources. Education was the key and the key was to focus on areas that promote ethnic culture and the teaching of life skills. Of course, needs change and evolve as the society progresses.
