The 5 pillars for Total Defence are: 1. Military Defence – Singaporeans keeping Singapore safe. 2. Civil Defence - Taking care of your family, friends, and people around you in times of crisis. 3. Economic Defence - Working and saving to achieve a better life for everyone. 4. Social Defence - Living in harmony, looking out for one another. 5. Psychological Defence - Singaporean and proud of it. Miss Cho also showed us 2 videos on NeMation! 4. N.E.mation! is a competition for youths to express their notions on Total Defence through animation. The videos that she showed were familiar to me as I have watched them before. I was aware of the competition’s details as Vivian, Ahilla and I were participants! We represented Chong Boon and was one of the top 20 finalist! It was an achievement as there were many competitors from different schools all around Singapore. I think that the videos were very fun and interesting. It also showed how teenagers thought about Singapore, their homeland. There was also a T.D trail that was put into place for us by the uniform groups in our school. It allowed me to understand more about the NE messages. Some of them are: 1. Singapore is our homeland; this is where we belong. We treasure our heritage and take pride in shaping our own unique way of life. 2. We must preserve racial and religious harmony. We value our diversity and are determined to stay a united people. 3. We must uphold meritocracy and incorruptibility. We provide opportunities for all, according to their ability and effort. 4. No one owes Singapore a living. We find our own way to survive and prosper, turning challenge into opportunity. 5. We must defend Singapore. A food rationing exercise was than held. We were only allowed to eat bread and drink NeWater. It allowed me to experience circumstances when we were only given bread and water. A concert was the highlight of the day! It was brilliant! Different races put up different dance performances. The funniest performance was put up by our very own “Chong Boon stars”, our teachers! It was a Bollywood Dance. Some teachers had to wear wigs. It was so hilarious. To round up every thing, we were told to pen down our thoughts and feelings on a reflection sheet. Posted by ShAnNoN at |
