[Straits Times] Mark SG50 with reflection and meaning

OUR SG50 Jubilee celebration on Aug 9 has to be made memorable, not more pompous, to aptly celebrate Singapore's success.

It must be an occasion for national reflection of the whats and hows that got us to this point of having many haves in our lives.

We have magnificent air and sea ports, efficient public transport, modern housing for the population, advanced medical care, fine schools and universities, and a green, healthy environment to live in.

This is a lot to be cherished because we have earned it all.

All our National Day celebrations should always carry with them a meaningful message.

Fong Hang Yin (Ms)
