现在能否被选中对我已经不重要了，所以我撤销我的回答了。

Oct.10th, we will celebrate our 59th year of independence. 59 years is not a short
history for our country, we have come a long way. 59 years ago, we were a poor
country trying to create as many jobs as we could to feed our people. There was no
Changi Airport, no multinational corporations or financial centre, no defence capability
of our own. Only 60% of our people were literate. Only 11% of our students progressed
beyond secondary school. Few people thought we could succeed, or even survive.
But we overcame the odds. By working hard, finding our own solutions and tying our
futures together as a people, we transformed Singapore into what it is today.
