"We, the citizens of Singapore,pledge ourselves as one united people,regardless of race, language or religion,to build a democratic society based on justice and equality so as to achieve happiness, prosperity andprogress for our nation"
National Day is just around the corner and there are many Singapore flags being put up at the fences throughout my estate. The other day, when Dada saw the flags, she started to recite the Singapore Pledge - well, her somewhat distorted, abridged version. While listening to her, the above highlighted portion suddenly triggered a thought in my mind. Dada's pledge and the recent unrest in Urumqi, China reminded me of how lucky we are to be living in Singapore -Multi-racial and multi religious...all living harmoniously. The government really has done well! Long may it continue...
