To solve the puzzle, identify the pioneers associated with the 12 locations shown in the image below. Their names are the place names as shown, so no further "zooming in" is required. Please use the original spellings of their name (not their nicknames, or hanyu-pinyinized names), for the purposes of the puzzle. Once done, you'll need to take the initials of their full names in order of the images, and enter it into Certitiude without spaces.
Each pioneer will have a 3-word name, so each image should correspond to three letters, for a 36-letter "keyword". For example, for Eu Tong Sen will correspond to ETS. If the next is Lee Kuan Yew (LKY), and the third is Tan Kah Kee (TKK), then the first nine characters in the "keyword" is: ETSLKYTKK.
