Nation building is not just about infrastructure but People Bonding
Lee Hsien Loong, Prime Minister of Sinagpore
– “Nation building is not just about building the infrastructure but it is also about community bonding”.
– "These 50 years of nation building... (it) is not just building roads or trains, airports, hospitals and schools, HDB estates, but also bringing people together so that they are happy to live together, work together, with friends in the community."
