How long does it take a country to rise from underdevelopment to developed countries? This question is constantly being repeated in our countries, where people are hoping for a change in their situation and are failing to redress their backwardness in the economy, education and health. The Republic of Singapore, which is not very noisy at the international level, offers answers to this dialectical question. This small country in Southeast Asia has achieved great acclaim in just decades and has now become a pioneering model for environment, transparency and progress.
When I visited Singapore, I was aware of some of what had happened to the country. The success story of the former Prime Minister, Lek Wan Yu, applied the outlook; the man who took charge of eight states, voluntarily left to give way to the youth, Even if he had been apprehensive about the fate of his country breaking away from Malaysia in 1965, and shedding tears on television to his people worried about his future.
If one wants to contemplate the fruits of Lake Yannu, the builder of the Singapore Renaissance, he will not be in any case in his search. It is enough to reach the airport of the country until it is clear. Changi International Airport is a quiet garden, unlike the noise of travel facilities. One of the most luxurious aspects is that you find carpets at a part of the airport as you make your way abroad. The infrastructure is at a dazzling level, ranging from clean cabs, buses and an advanced metro system.
Singapore has created a wide metro network that allows the visitor to travel all over the city, from east to west, from north to south, at reasonable prices and without the need for contaminated transport vehicles. If the tourist is finished in the country, he is invited to return the metro card, and then they will return every dollar that remains in his balance. This Singapore, you do not receive money from you except through transparent, the state is also strict with the corrupt, even Western countries disliked To defame persons involved in corruption cases.
If you smoked a cigarette in a garden, for example, you would have to pay about US $ 700, but if you chewed gum and threw it to the ground, you are liable to a fine of more than US $ 200. This is without talking about other hard-line sanctions from screaming in the street or cutting the road without respect for the signal, and perhaps it was not an exaggeration that the city was named the city of fines for Singapore.
Because the fines come to fruition, you will see the streets of Singapore like a mirror at the height of cleanliness and arrangement. It is rare to monitor a used handkerchief lying here or after a cigarette there, people are aware of the inevitability of the law. Many in the country remember a young American boy who was in a rage, damaged public property on the street and wrecked several cars. Washington did not intervene to avoid several months of imprisonment with physical punishment being inflicted on him.
In the presence of this discipline, one wonders what is left of our region, which is exhausted by the terrible recipe for success, especially in the coexistence of the people. This tiny country of 5.7 million people is full of religions and beliefs, where Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and Hindus live, Through loudspeakers, church bells ring, and you see people leaping into the Buddhist temple and others slipping a Hindu temple.
The government has chosen to impose neutrality among its constituents. Article 15 of the country's constitution provides for the right of every person in the country to profess and profess the religion that he wishes and practice. In the field of language, Singapore applied a rare consensus formula for managing the country's differences. The English language was adopted at the expense of the local languages of Malawi, China and India, so as to avoid any marginalization or exclusion.
So, then, Singapore is led to its salvation and achieved a permanent tolerance among its components. Ideological problems in its estimation need only the neutrality of the state, and then people go out to worship what they believe in, and raise the world's affairs to the laws of a situation that they all control. Otherwise, And turned their country into a large park that dazzles every visitor with the accumulation of construction and success.
When we talk about achievement in Singapore, it is not just a rude government propaganda, but a reality that is compounded by the figures. The average monthly wage in the country exceeded US $ 3,000 in January 2017. It is enough to follow the Singaporeans on the street to show you what they have become. Their clothes alone show you what they spend on brands, especially their sports shoes and light clothing, which they are aware of high heat and high humidity throughout the year.
Singapore .. the story of a miracle and proven from the darkness of backwardness to the light of progress
But the high humidity is not an obstacle in this country. Most of the vital facilities are air-conditioned, and you find the whole air-conditioned garden. I'm talking about Garden Bay, in the marina area, where the people built a multi-story park with electric elevators and flowing from the top. A refreshing water waterfall with droplets. When you arrive at the end of your tour, you will be presented with a film to raise awareness of the dangers of climate change and what is foreshadowing it in the coming years.
Not far from Singapore's Hanging Gardens, there is another garden with flowers from different parts of the earth. In the corners of the covered space, people find the chance to read their books quietly. Reading is a virtue for this country, because it did not rise to the resources of the earth, as much as the minds of its children. Therefore, Singapore ranked first in the quality of education worldwide, Of the Organization for Cooperation and Development in 2016.
Faced with this dazzling, which is rare to stand on it even in Europe and America takes one reflect on the hopes, and he sees that the time distance between backwardness and progress are not centuries necessarily, always, to suspend the failures present in developing countries; in Singapore, the age of the British One day, then they went on, but they are now coming today and stand on change as in their former colony; in other countries hit by laziness, is still the colonizers come to it to earn money crooked ways and prove the pillars of their influence, they are knowing that followed in power It did not make anything significant confirms the wisdom of independence.
