In serving the community, Singaporeans served the nation.
At the launch of the Keep Singapore Clean campaign in 1968, Mr Lee Kuan Yew said, “Singapore has become one home, one garden for all of us”. This reminds us that no man is an island and it takes our collective effort to improve our living environment.
