Part 5/9:

A key moment of the rally was the speech delivered by Lee Kuan Yew, the founding Prime Minister of Singapore. Taking center stage, Lee passionately championed the cause of racial harmony and economic development. He stated, "They say they're worried about the Middle East. I say so are we. We want to raise their standard of living. And we will—and faster than they can." His words aimed to inspire confidence in a future where Singapore and Malaysia could grow collectively and reduce racial divisions.
