independence is change of government = change of top management
only
founded = when it actually started
sang nila utama's founding is unstable, he said he saw lion but
there is not lion in singapore. Not very reliable. So I take Sir
Stamford Raffles.
The difference is whether you still call the woman in UK " your
majesty ", and let her send her men to manage you, and you call
them "SIR",
or once every 4 years you elect your top management, together
with all other citizens of Singapore, that is called
"Democracy".
When "your majesty" sent her man to manage, nobody can complain
if they don't like who she sent.
When all other Singaporeans voted in somebody you don't like,
you are allowed to complain and complain...that is "freedom of
Speech".
