For those of my generation, living under the angmo was a fact of life & I have positive memories My parents have some bad memories of the time because the Brits behaved like they owned the country

However other than a few isolated bad memories I don't think people back then worried about the Brits running the show. Mustn't forget that during that time racism was a fact of life. That the white race was superior.
Compared to life under the Brits, life under LKY/LHL is I think much worst. The Brits didn't try to micro manage our lifes like what the PAP is doing.
Some may claim that the PAP is responsible for all the progress in Spore but I have my doubts, just look at who is making all the $$$$ in Spore.
They are the same people stealing our $$$ with increased rentals, taxes, CPF...
