The ceremony was also a way to commemorate the Tree Planting project that Mr Lee introduced in the 1960s in his Tanjong Pagar ward, to turn Singapore into a clean and green Nation, a ceremony which he attended every year since then. Through this activity, every participant had the opportunity to learn about Mr Lee�s efforts in greening Singapore. The Day Before Instructions gi...
