Singapore never printed any public figure in our currencies
prior to Yusof Ishak, actually there is, nobody realises?
Once, during a parliament meeting one minister brought up,
how come we never print any body face in our currencies?
All the ministers including LKY thought so, it was a good idea.
But whose face shall they put up? One said, of course me, i suggested
the idea, another said, me, i more handsome what, the finance minister
said, surely must be me, i am the finance minister, debate went on..
LKY got headache because he also wanted his face to be printed.
You know lah, LKY always had brilliant idea, so he told his minister,
'i had an idea that will satisfy everyone'
Hence this dollar note:
EVERBODY FACE IS INSIDE THIS DOLLAR NOTE
SITTING IN FRONT OF THE PARLIAMENT HOUSE
