“Everyday Singaporeans like us need hard work and determination to get through our daily lives to make it here.”

“Singapore is a country where your work takes up a lot of your life, so it’s important to enjoy your life the best way you can.”

“I don’t come from a very affluent background, and I think I’ve seen the value in working hard to ensure your own wealth and success.”

“I think for the sake of progress, change is necessary. I still remember growing up in a kampung, but I don’t really have any yearnings for the past.”

Celebrating the message that our National Symbols have inspired in us, 60 years on.
