由来
  • 1950与1960年代，是新加坡争取自治和独立的时期，生于这个年代的新加坡人，经历了不少社会的动荡，也在艰难时期推动了新加坡的经济发展，为新加坡建立了稳固的基础。
  • 这个时期出生的男性是新加坡的首批国民服役人员，一些新加坡女性也提早踏入社会，以劳动力支持她们的家庭。

    National Day Rally 2018.ƒ
  • Some 500,000 Singaporeans have benefited from the MGP, which includes a concession card (Passion Silver Card) top-up, MediSave topups, outpatient care subsidies and insurance incentives.
