>>2256348Because the British left our country in 1939 and when they returned they literally couldn't handle Singapore so they let go of us in 1955?
Let me tell you,the post war period when the british were in control was marked by unemployment,disease,malnutrition,crime and violence.
To suggest that the British made Singapore into the first-world country that we are today is to directly insult the people who worked backbreaking labour 7 days a week in order to earn a living in piss-poor colonial singapore
