I Am Proud To Be A Singaporean

Hi 3.4,
Our 44th National Day celebration is just round the corner. How do you feel about celebrating your country's birthday? Are you proud to be a Singaporean? Give your reason/s. How do you intend to spend your national day? Tell me about it
As for me, I'm proud to be a Singaporean. Singapore is a peaceful country and we are fortunate to have a strong government to lead our country. We try our best to live harmoniously despite the different racial customs. However, we must not take things for granted and let others try to influence us into doing things which can cause disharmony.
So, tell me about your feelings about being a Singaporean/ tell me what you like/dislike about Singapore.

Waiting to read your responses.
