At Singapore’s National Botanic Garden, Molly sits down with Paul for a lively conversation about his love for his country. Paul, a fourth-generation Singaporean and tour guide, reflects on the nation’s independence in 1965 and its transformation into a vibrant global city in just 60 years. He shares what brings him joy - from family and friends to the colorful cultures, foods, and traditions that shape day-to-day life. Paul also jokes about Singapore’s nickname as the “red dot” (a tiny speck on the map beside Malaysia and Indonesia) and how residents can help it shine as a united community. This mini-sode is a glimpse into Singapore through the eyes of someone who proudly calls it home.
