Synopsis :In May 1959, Singapore achieved full internal self-government. A mass rally was held at the Padang a few days later, where Lee Kuan Yew addressed a public that was uncertain about the country’s fate. With cautious optimism, Mr Lee invited the audience to celebrate Singapore’s newfound self-determination, and to work together to build a shared future.
