16-year-old prophecy has come true. Freaky.

The signs were there all along.

It was announced on Oct. 8, 2014, that veteran thespian Lim Kay Tong will be cast as Singapore's former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, in the dramatic thriller 1965, a decision that received industry-wide approval.

MediaCorp Channel 5's period sentimental-lots-of-feels drama Growing Up had -- some 16 years ago -- predicted that one fine day, veteran thespian Lim Kay Tong will play ex-prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.

The opening credits featured a montage where a scene with Lee Kuan Yew in spectacles transitioned straightaway to a portrait of Lim Kay Tong.

Don't sneeze because you'd miss it.
