According to singapore's history , on 11th january 1966 , a hero was born . He didn't really went through the Japanese occupation , but , his actions are worth praising . He was born in a poor family , whom his parents had to support 3 sons and a daughter. Life was tough , 6 mouths isn't that easy to feed. Being the eldest , he got into primary school the earliest . His results are good , proved that poverty does not mean that one is stupid . Life was getting better and better , till that his fellow siblings had to go to school too . The school fees was expensive then , and his parents couldn't afford it . Soon , he decided , to quit school , to let his younger siblings have a brighter future . This act of love , was the mark of a nightmare . Working , earning money , having the burden of a whole family , only at a age of 15. As he grew older , his sibling went university , got married . And this man , whose education is still stuck at a primary 3 , never complained . He too got married , and had a son and a daughter . This man , is my dad . Mr gan hock lim , a great man , whom may not be well known by people , but to me , he will always , be a hero .

i love you , dad .
