MY SIX NE MESSAGES :

1. Singapore is our homeland. This is where we belong.
Coming to china has made me value and realise how fortunate I am to live in
Singapore. One thing i feel VERY glad about are the rules that are imposed by the
government. We adhere to rules and i feel that this is important as without them,
there would be chaos. An example would be of the traffic lights in china. Despite
the green walking man signal, cars would just pass across as if people there were
invisible.

2. We must preserve racial and religious harmony.
In general say, everyone has to be treated with respect to racial equality to
prevent racial discriminination. It does not only apple to Singapore but to
everywhere we go. Only then will there be harmony and peace amongst us. I have
learnt to mix more with people of other race and can proudly say that I have
abolished the stereotype thinking. Dont judge a book by its cover as they can
surprise you in ways you would never imagine.

3. We must uphold meritocracy and incorruptibility.
For someone to trust you..you first have to be honest not only with him but most
importantly be true to yourself. One thing I have observed is that for a friendship to
work out, you can tell if the other party is genuine or just nice enough to start a
conversation with you. The locals are a great bunch of people and getting to know
them are one of the best things that ever happened in my life.

4. No one owes Singapore a living.
As compared to China's history, Singapore's not even a quarter of it long. I thank
and are grateful to our forefathers which have made into what we are today.
Coming to China has made me more independant and I am able to find my way
around despite not knowing how to speak Chinese. I am glad that I have grabbed
this oppurtunity going to China. It has been an eye opener for me and I shall
impart my knowledge to friends in the days to come.

5. We must ourselves defend Singapore.
Though a small country, we will defend our rights, ourselves and our country. I
feel rather sad as the younger generation lack of love for the country. We take for
granted of what we have and resort to having the easy way out. We whine, we
complain and we stamp our feet when things dont go our way.

6. We have confidence in our future.
If someone were to ask me should they go for an overseas programme trip...my
answer would be a definite YES. I have learnt so much and have gained
experiences i would never have gotten in Singapore.
So if you ask me now...Do you have confidance in your future ?
YES I DO !
