“The founding father of Singapore is Sir Stamford Raffles, who was born in Port Morant; and Singapore’s founding leader, who made it the modern metropolis it is today, is Lee Kuan Yew. He visited Michael Manley when he was in power to study the post-colonisation parliamentary system, and used Jamaica as a model of what he wanted to see for Singapore,” she said. “There are a lot of ties, people are not as different as they think they are. Singapore is a very efficient and organised place, there is almost no homelessness here and almost no violence. Jamaica has that raw energy and celebration of life, soul, the arts and culture. If these two countries get to know each other it would be a beautiful balance in life and we could give the best to one another.”
