I AM A SINGAPOREAN

Singapore is a small country and it is a very beautiful place to stay. There are many high-rise buildings, clinics, hospitals, shopping malls, playgrounds and schools. We also have our adorable Merlion and the good drinking water - the “Newater”.

Singapore’s National Day falls on the 9th of August. We always have an excellent National Day Celebration and we called it the NDP.

Being a multi-racial country, we have different races such as the Chinese, Malay, Indians. We also have many festive celebrations. Some examples are the Chinese New Year, Moon Cake Festival, Hari Raya Puasa, Deepavali, Good Friday, Christmas, Vesak Day and Thaipusam. From these festival celebrations, people from the different races learn and understand the others’ culture. In school, we celebrate Racial Harmony Day.

Singapore is a clean and green country. To save the environment, Singaporeans reuse, reduce and recycle. We do not litter in Singapore. We will be fined if we are caught doing that.

I love Singapore; I am proud to be a Singaporean.
