General Aung San ( Group 6)

1) A hero is someone who helps people, doing things that benefit others. A hero is someone real.

Lee Kuan Yew brought Singapore independence. He achieved his goal of cultivating Singapore into a modern and, most importantly, an independent city; benefiting the people.

In 1942, Lieutenant Adnan bin Saidi become a hero under the circumstances where he won a fight he led, despite being outnumbered.
He tried his best in fighting for Singapore and protecting Singapore, therefore making him a hero.

Therefore, heroes can be people that achieved their goals or arise from special circumstances.


2) During the World War II, General Aung San doubted the Japanese’s promise to let Burma be independent, suspecting it was a plot to capture Burma. He placed the importance of his country before himself, risking the trust of the Japanese by staging a revolt against them. After the war, Aung San was also challenged by British attempts to take over Burma. He was successful in both attempts to keep Burma an independent state. He was shrewd, being able to plan for Burma’s future and make critical decisions in tough situations.
