In this historical black-and-white photograph, a group of children and adults are gathered in an outdoor setting, likely a market or street in Singapore. The focal point of the image is Lee Kuan Yew, who is actively engaged in spraying water from a hose onto the street. He is wearing a white shirt and pants, and is bent over slightly, focused on the task at hand. The children surrounding him are dressed in casual attire typical of the era, with shorts and simple tops. Their expressions range from curiosity to fascination as they watch the water flow from the hose. The background shows modest structures with a market-like atmosphere, including visible produce. The scene captures a moment of communal activity, reflecting a sense of community engagement and leadership. The photograph is credited to "ST."
