1. Singapore is our homeland; this is where we belong.
We want to keep our heritage and our way of life. |
2. We must preserve racial and religious harmony.
Though many races, religions, languages and cultures, we pursue one destiny. |
3. We must uphold meritocracy and incorruptibility.
This means opportunity for all, according to their ability and effort. |
4. No one owes Singapore a living.
We must find our own way to survive and prosper. |
5. We must ourselves defend Singapore.
No one else is responsible for our security and well-being. |
6. We have confidence in our future.
United, determined and well-prepared, we shall build a bright future for ourselves. |
