From Mudflats to Smart Nation

We are celebrating Singapore’s 58th birthday and commemorating the 100th birth anniversary of Singapore’s founding prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, who was critical to Singapore's success with a short film titled “From Mudflats to Smart Nation”.
The film charts Singapore’s journey to becoming a global economic powerhouse through the lens of the telecommunications industry. For the first time, catch Singtel’s executives GCEO, Yuen Kuan Moon, GCFO, Arthur Lang, CEO of NCS, Ng Kuo Pin, former Chairman and CEO of the National Computer Board, Lim Swee Say, and Deputy CEO AIS and former Singtel GCTO, Mark Chong, share insights on how telecommunications played a pivotal role in supporting Singapore's economic ambitions.
Singapore is now on the cusp of mainstream 5G adoption and a testbed for the latest emerging technologies, which positions it to drive greater innovation and economic growth. We will continue investing in the latest technologies to offer the best experience and transformational services to customers and give Singapore a competitive edge.

Thank you very much, Mr LKY. Without Mr Lee, I wonder how would Singapore turn out? Our women go overseas to work as maids? Our men toil in the sun in foreign lands? Uh! Mr Lee, how grateful I am to you.

[@dixianl4370]

Thanks you...Mr. Lee.

[@fbsgs3YT]

Thank you Mr Lee! We miss you & especially your leadership.

Hi, ....Our young LKY looked and spoke so differently then in the 60s+....he was a true great leader for Singapore.... I felt so fortunate that I grown-up during the period that Singapore's economy was growing at a double-digits growth rate for almost 3 decades from the 70+ all the way to the Millennium era..... I enjoyed my whole working life.... and witnessed the transformation of the old and poorer city state to a clearer, modern and vibrant state of today...

A very big Thank You to Mr LKY😊

[@minarobert2806]

I love❤ Singapore. 🎉

[@CK-mp9pq]

Yes... without the people to build it, it will remain a dream and vision. For the youngsters today ....... Ask not what the country can do for you, ask what you have done for the country. That's what the Pioneer Generation had built ............ what you can do next ???

*Highest respect and salute the late LKY cos SG is what it is all because of his mighty visionaries in building this nation and Majulah Singapura* ❤

[@gohsiewhau4819]

I enjoyed those times under his leadership n his then leadership team. I really pray that our current younger generation team of politicians heed LKY's advice on the untrustworthy americanos politicians n don't be bribed/ruinous for having to do ithers' biddings. Pray hard that LKY really will be protecting/take care of Singapore, his beloved Singapore 😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@paulchan5782]

LKY was a shrewd leader, but he had a team of very able and talented persons like Goh Keng Swee, Rajaretnam, Toh Chin Chye, etc, etc to help build SG.

Majulah Singapura!

MAJULAH SINGAPURA ⚡

[@Charontes]

I guess we used to be a fishing village full of mudskippers? *confused noises*

[@BenedictThambiah]

More than 22 minutes of great video and yet SingTel was not able to have a diverse range of persons, including women or minorities, to speak. No point highlighting our multi-everything when the effort is plainly missing.

[@roochiepoo]

Damn good video. Good job Singtel
