Singapore has come a long way on its journey towards sustainability. Over 50 years ago, Singapore was dirty and polluted, lacking proper sanitation and facing high unemployment. It was a small developing island city-state with no natural resources, and faced an uncertain future after its unexpected separation from Malaysia. Many were skeptical that Singapore could even survive on its own.Despite these grim conditions and inauspicious beginnings, Singapore’s pioneering team of leaders had tremendous foresight, and believed that economic development should not be pursued at the expense of the environment or social inclusion. With this vision, strong political leadership and immense efforts by our people, Singapore was transformed from mudflats into a clean and green modern metropolis.
