"the new age singaporean would take for granted what the fore fathers has set. what the fore fathers went through and what our founder fathers did...."
maybe its time we go back in time.
how many people bothers to sing the national anthem and school songs everyday?
how many people recites the pledge?
The Pledge
-The Origin
Initially penned by Mr S Rajaratnam in 1966, the Pledge was written against the backdrop of racial riots in the 1950s and 1960s. Mr Rajaratnam revealed that the dream was about building "a Singapore we are proud of". He believed that language, race and religion were divisive factors, but the Pledge emphasises that these differences can be overcome if Singaporeans cared enough about their country.
Our Pledge
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 and
progress for our nation.
may Mr S Rajaratnam
rest in peace..
