Straits Times- Citizens as clueless as New migrants

Today I saw an interesting article in Straits Times.
Citizens as clueless as new migrants.
In which year did Singapore become an independent nation. 63% of the citizens get it right compared to 53% from the PR. I thought I am poor at a certain extent but at least I know this question.Haha..

For question like, what do the five stars and the crescent moon on the Singapore flag symbolise. I am surprised it has a percentage of 47% from citizens. I expected a lower percentage. Cos I believe some Singaporean lecturers might not know the answer as well. Haha..

The Crescent moon represents a young nation. The five stars represent- Democracy, peace, progress, equality and justice.

The lowest percentage by citizens is 25%. Who is Singapore Biggest Trading Partner?
PR got 22%. haha..(The answer is Malaysia)

Next lowest percentage question is Who was Singapore first elected president?
26% for Citizens, 25% for PR. (Ans:Ong Teng Cheong)
