Talking about why Singapore can attract the favor of big guys so much (Part 1)

Almost everyone in the entire Chinese community knows that there is a place in the world called Singapore, a very familiar name, people have a good impression of it, and they have a high evaluation of this place, but do you really understand this country, why do many celebrities and rich people in China have a special love for its investment immigration? There must be a place where its own unique charm is unusual.

Although the name of Singapore is called Singapore, but the place is not new at all, there are documents recorded a long time ago, it is an ancient place, it has another nickname called Lion City, but it is not a lion, according to legend, Malaya (before it was not called Malaysia, Singapore initially belonged to Malaya, and was later separated by the British, after independence and Malaya, and two other places merged, it began to be called Malaysia) When the king passed through this place, he saw an animal that had never been seen before, and people called it a lion. So where the lion stays, it is simply called the lion city, according to the research, the animal is actually a tiger, in Malay Singapore is called Singapore, the new Singa in Sanskrit is the meaning of lion, and po and Pura is the meaning of Sanskrit city, so called lion city, English is called Lion City.

The local people were happy and broken, we finally had the name of our homeland, and it has been quietly thriving there for many centuries, until the late Age of Discovery (late 18th century) when Britain became the world's maritime hegemon known as the Empire of the Rising Sun, and there was an Englishman named Raffles who arrived here in 1819, and when he looked at it, he found that the geographical location of this place (at the southern end of the Malay Peninsula, the east entrance to the Strait of Malacca) was used as a sea trade transit station and ship supply point for the south to the north. That is too appropriate, the natural choice of land, very superior to the geographical superiority of shipping, did not expect that at that time his behavior directly affected to today, now Singapore is still the world's busiest maritime trade port transshipment center and aviation transit center, really can be described as the former ethnic cause, posterity to achieve results. Therefore, all of a sudden this place developed, where there is a market, there is trade, the more people trade, all kinds of people from different regions come to this place, as a free port, it is particularly inclusive, after entering a virtuous circle, soon the economy will prosper, the British look at it, this place has a head, it will seriously operate, slowly from the local government from the lease and then transferred, to finally become its direct colony, and later found that the strategic location of this place is also very important, and then established a military base.

Because of all kinds of people (there are Chinese, Chinese are the first batch of ancestors to go to Nanyang, the local indigenous (in fact, singaporeans later became less and less, more and more immigrants, similar to the United States), Indians (India has been colonized by the British, where the East India Company was established), Europeans British, Portuguese, Dutch, etc.) are suddenly squeezed into this small place, the economy is up, but the contradictions also come out, everyone is accustomed to beliefs and customs are different, from time to time to each other a few times, the British look at this is not conducive to stability, Instability my interests are not guaranteed, and later specially invented a system that allows all ethnic groups to have their own seats in this region and belong to each other, which is the policy of apartheidism, Europeans are in charge of politics and high-ranking officials, Chinese (at this time, with the continuous migration of Chinese, regardless of population or strength are the strongest in this region) manage the economy to do compradors, will do business, other races also perform their duties, everyone is also at peace, this policy system has maintained regional stability and prosperity for a long time. (But this policy is like a wedge nailed here, it will break out at any time, and then Singapore's development after independence has really been affected by it and there have been great reform obstacles and social unrest, fortunately, there is Lee Kuan Yew, the father of the Singapore nation, there are iron fist means to turn the tide, and finally slowly to the present.) Speaking of nailing wedges, Americans also like to do this, it seems that it is innate, from the British mother's womb has been inherited, for example: Palestine and Israel have been fighting until now almost eighty years are still fighting, it is estimated that they have to fight, that is, as early as 194 years, the historical background is complicated, anyway, the United States and Britain made a bad, in the Pakistani region to say that you Jews can establish a country here, to the Middle East countries because of religious beliefs to sow the seeds of hatred, has been fighting all the time, afraid that you are not chaotic, chaotic, the United States and Britain are good to intervene, Maximization of profits, this means can only be described as both vicious and clever. )

In the Second World War, it was occupied by Little Japan in 1942, and after Japan's surrender in 1945, it was taken back by the British, until 1959, when Singapore declared independence, Lee Kuan Yew served as the supreme leader, joined the United Nations and the British Commonwealth in the same year, why joined the British Commonwealth, this reason is deeply rooted, the British ruled for 130 years, and they are all immigrants, the people do not have such a deep sense of home and country, the British governance of Singapore is not bad, but also do their best in all aspects. Later in 1962 with malaya merger to form Malaysia, attached to Malaysia, but not pleasant, Lee Kuan Yew's governing philosophy and their conflict, two years later Singapore was driven out by Malaysia, this completely became an orphan, daddy and mother unreliable, all of a sudden poor and white, originally a fist of a little bigger place (the area is similar to our county), natural resources are almost zero (until now or all the means of living rely on imports, even drinking water to import, so, living in Singapore, the cost is very high), the only advantage, The free trade port, yes, began here, the father of the country is worthy of the father of the country, began his drastic reform, using its geographical location to deeply cultivate the port, not only shipping, but later separated from Malaysia Airlines to build aviation into the world shipping center.

Speaking of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew this person is not bypassed, is the father of Singapore, with the new China Mao Zedong, the United States Washington, the same as the great grandfather is Guangdong, with a family of old and small nanyang to live (at that time the Chinese descendants in nanyang produced a lot of heroes, like the former prime minister of Thailand Thaksin Shinawatra, his great-grandfather Guangdong people are also in the same period of Nanyang, outstanding overseas Chinese Chen Jiageng, but he was later under his own Nanyang, doing business in Indonesia, very successful, he raised a lot of money for the anti-war organization, raised a lot of money to support the domestic anti-Japanese resistance, Xiamen University is his funding to build, this man is really a fist of the heart of the motherland, must pay tribute to him, can not be damaged at all, is really righteous thin cloud heavenly achievement in the thousand autumns! To Lee Kuan Yew's grandfather's generation has accumulated a lot of wealth, Chinese the spirit of hard-working is really not covered, we eat no culture (now many of our parents are still saying, it seems that Chinese everywhere is the same), so for the children and grandchildren pay attention to education, books must be given to me to read well, Lee Kuan Yew from childhood his grandfather arranged to receive a full British education, and later went to Cambridge to study (yes, that is, Xu Zhimo that, no more Kangqiao place, you nong my place, it seems that this place is indeed a romantic place, Suitable for love, he met the love of his life, in many years, our bowl of braised meat also met here, but also cultivated into positive results, it seems that many things it does have a certain hereditary inheritance), so he will not Chinese (until now the official language of Singapore is still English, Chinese is the second language, but also a banana, yellow and white), yes, he really will not, until the age of thirty began to learn Chinese, cattle people are cattle people, high-level elites are different (it is estimated that he himself has a deep understanding, So he has been promoting the immigration policy of high-quality talents, and now his son is still in power), not only good at learning, but also proficient in multiple languages, before entering politics was a lawyer, (his wife also studied law, several former presidents of the United States are lawyers, Lincoln, Clinton, Obama) seems to have a very political future abroad.

Next time we will see how such a cattle man has worked hard to lead Singapore to the ranks of developed countries...
