An Emotional Reflection on History and Hope

At the launch, PM Wong emphasized that this exhibition not only focuses on the future but also serves as a poignant reminder of the courageous steps taken in Singapore’s history—from the hardships during the Japanese Occupation to the fervent fight for independence and beyond. “This is not just a celebration; it’s a moment for reflection,” he stated.

He highlighted that, while 60 years may seem brief in a global context, for Singapore, it represents a monumental journey filled with trials and triumphs that shaped the nation’s identity.
