I checked out the Founders' Memorial exhibit "Not Mere Spectators: The Makings of Multicultural Singapore" at the National Gallery Singapore with some people from the Foundry and it was an absolutely wonderful learning experience. While Singapore is not perfect (no country is), I have a renewed sense of appreciation for how thoughtful the founding leaders tried to be in order to develop a common sense of belonging/patriotism for the very diverse communities during and after British rule. 🥹
