Sentosa’s SG 50 Bash(pg 16)
As part of SG50 celebrations
this year, visitors can now
enter Sentosa for free
Walking into Sentosa via the
broadwalk normally costs $1
Entering by cars or taxis can
cost between $2 to $7
Expect more events and
carnivals at Sentosa as we
near the SG50 celebrations

Celebrating his life’s work (pg20)
Recap some of the many
legacies Mr Lee Kuan Yew
has left us
From attar huts, he gave us
our own homes
He created National Service
so we can protect our nation
We are a clean and green
city
One of the legacies Mr Lee Kuan Yew has left us is
the excellent relationships we share with our
neighbouring countries.
Next week is International Friendship Day. We
shall see the impact and the benefits of this legacy
Mr Lee has left us.
In the meantime, think and buzz with your friends
why it is important to be friends with our
neighbouring countries?
