S$1 legend or fact?
-
take a luk at the S$1...
on both sides circling the edge theres an octagon....
rumor has it tt long time ago when the MRT was jus launched... there were many souls who haunted the tunnels due to their 'rest' being disturbed by the construction of the MRT.... these reports were especially frequent comming from the newton station whr victims of WWII or otherwise wer buried in mass/unmarked graves.
LKY went to his personal spirit guide n seeked his advice... he was told to if he wanted the incidences to end. he mus make singaporeans carry the ba qua (8 sided taoist mirror thingy) to ward off spirits..
he was caught in a dilema. in a multiracial society how to make people of other races n religions, carry a taoist religious symbol? so he n his board of idea makers (i suspect they r also responsible for the everythg also fine in sg policy) came up with the idea of launching a $1 coin tt contains the image of the ba quah...
since the launch of the coin... all reports of weird happenings in the MRT line have gone...
truth or ficiton?
