40yrs, value of money goes down.
On this island where no natural resource exists.
On this island where enemy bombers can carpet bomb the island flat in 10mins.
On this island where a single atomic bomb will wipe it off the face of Earth.
On this island I'm born, on this island I shall fight, die and be buried.
Nationalistic u guys might say, blindly patriotic u can say.
No country, no society, no family and no YOU.
Think abt it. Don't associate all things Singapore with our ruiling party.
