And then there were some photos of the initial group of ministers that set up Singapore as an independent country.  That bit was \/very\/ compelling, and I&#8217;m still feeling a bit of a post-propaganda aftershock.  Most of the ministers were Chinese but there was still a fair bit of diversity.  And, the graphs!  I have mixed feelings about the state of Singapore, values-wise&#8230; but these guys were super good at their jobs.  20% annual growth, and 200,000+ public housing units built in 15 years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/singhistory2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/singhistory2.jpg\" alt=\"singhistory2\" width=\"640\" height=\"478\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/singhistory2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/singhistory2-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/singhistory3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/singhistory3.jpg\" alt=\"singhistory3\" width=\"512\" height=\"640\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/singhistory3.jpg 512w, https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/singhistory3-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/singhistory1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/singhistory1.jpg\" alt=\"singhistory1\" width=\"360\" height=\"640\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/singhistory1.jpg 360w, https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/singhistory1-168x300.jpg 168w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the weekend we visited an exhibit about Singaporean history.
