Welcome and Enjoy!
Here are some people’s views about what makes Singaporean unique among all the other countries:
Studying hard for a degree, Pay for one and get one free.
Hawker centres and smelly durians, Those things make us Singaporeans.
-Vanessa Manap, student, 12
… speak with a Singlish slang?
… eat from the meepok man
… aim for 10/10?
… shop at NTUC?
… dream of winning lottery?
If you do, SINGAPOREAN you’re through and through!
- Lynne Chan, student, 12
Multi-lingual, multi-racial, multi-religious,
Multi-cultural, multi-tasking, Not to forget out multi-storey carparks.
-Otsuka Keiko, student, 10
The people sing a song.
“Lah, lah, lah, loh, loh, loh.”
Groove to the tune of the Singapore Song!

1. We use too many acronyms yet keep creating new ones.
2. We think that $100,000 is a reasonable price for a Toyota Corolla, and $1,000,000 is a reasonable price for a bungalow, but $5 for a plate of fried noodles is a barbarous
outrage.
3. We think that everything should be ‘topped up’.
4. We wear winter clothes indoors and summer clothes outdoors.
5. In a country where people use smart cards for public transit, we have no problem with construction workers riding in the open backs of pickup trucks.
6. We’re not ashamed that the government needs to care if we know how to use a toilet or urinal correctly.
7. We’re sure that the best way to change social behaviour is through consistent and comprehensive government-sponsored campaigns that permeate as many aspects of life as possible. And when they don’t work, we never speak of them again.
8. We think a bus is incomplete without a TV.
9. Every task we take on and every group we form is incomplete without a mission statement and a cheesy slogan.
10. We understand everything on this list.
- Chin Liong Choon, public servant, 23
