Discovery showing a re-run now. Part 1 now showing. Quite a superb docu. As good as the Krakatau one IMHO.

very insightful indeed, never knew my idolised Raffles had a beer tummy and William Farquar was near bald.

Nevertheless, a great visual teaching material for the students today :thumbsup:

Yeah, it's a lengthy, but a good documentary about the history of Singapore. And we are, like the title says, an "accidental nation", and thank god for that! :thumbsup:

But did any of you guys pay attention to the last episode when more focus is put on SM Goh Chok Tong? There was this whole segment lasting for around 5-7 minutes about the infamous Michael Fay incident.

Apparently, Bill Clinton wrote in about the caning part but Singapore didn't lift the caning punishment but reduced from 6 to 4 strokes instead. SM Goh went on to say that after the incident, he didn't meet Clinton for 1-2 years because the White House denied all of his requests to meet Clinton. :sticktong

Jeez... Doesn't that sound almost the same like what happened recently? :hung:

PEACE,
_mich_

P.S - Michael Fay deserved the caning! SM Goh is too kind. :bsmilie:

I chuckled when Raffles landed at the beach and there were some skulls on sticks planted on it.

I cannot believe there were people in Singapura then who were barbaric.....:think:

They showed the whole 3 parts in one go in Australia. It was the Night of Singapore.

It is very well-produced and it fills in some of the gaps that I don't know about Singapore.
