Do you, your parents or grandparents have an old work uniform or paraphernalia from working in a factory in Singapore in the 1960s-70s, old photographs taken as a child with our founding leaders; or memories of hearing the National Anthem on radio when it was first introduced?
  
Contribute your artefacts and stories through the Memorial’s website, and play a part in the making of the Memorial! Your contributions will help others learn more about the founding values that guided us through our nation-building years.
 
You may also visit foundersmemorial.gov.sg/shapeourmemorial to see these history-revealing artefacts and more at a virtual exhibition specially created by the Founders’ Memorial.

Hope you’ve all had a good weekend!

Today, meet Lily Wu who has a knack for turning roadblocks into new pathways (it’s a marvel her middle name isn’t 'tenacity’):
At 16, when fast food restaurants wouldn't hire her, she started a shoe arbitrage business and earned $500K
At 19, when a youth leadership programme rejected her, she created her own internship, which grew into a million-dollar startup

Now, the Australian has joined Stripe in Singapore to empower other startups across Southeast Asia to become the next Grab or Shopee. To support female founders, she has also co-founded WOW Pixies, the first DAO (crypto crowdfunding) to invest in women-led businesses

Read Lily's full story and learn why she chose to settle in Singapore to chase her dreams.
