The one oddity of post-WW-II imperialism was the creation of Singapore as a modern and odd little city-state, tended to by one of grandfather's cousins, Leonard Rist from World Bank, and Lee Kuan Yew.

It was supposed to be a 'model', an example to nations in the region of what they could become if they chose the western model of development.

I think it succeeded because it was too small to attract the interest of anyone other than Rist, for whom it was a life-long hobby like others might have with model trains or a garden.
