SINGAPORE - National Day will be a special one this year for 71 people who became Singapore citizens on Saturday (Aug 5).

They were presented with their new identity cards and citizenship certificates at a national citizenship ceremony organised by Tanjong Pagar GRC.

Among them was Ms Zhou Ang, 25, a doctor at the National University Hospital who moved to Singapore from China with her parents when she was three years old.


She said: "I went to local schools and all my friends treated me as a Singaporean. In fact, I used to think that I was a Singaporean until I went on overseas school trips and had to use a different immigration lane at the airport.


"Becoming a citizen was a natural process for me. It's been a long time coming."

The ceremony was held at the 50th floor of the Pinnacle@Duxton.



Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Chan Chun Sing, in a speech at the event, said: "To be Singaporean is not a matter of ancestry... but a choice.

"It may be easy to call ourselves Singaporeans when our economy is strong, our defence is secure, our society is cohesive and our leadership and systems are progressive. But let us remind ourselves that this may not always be so."

He urged the new citizens to defend Singapore's way of life "beyond race, language and religion, regardless of social and economic background".

At the ceremony, the new citizens sang the National Anthem and recited the pledge.

Another new citizen, Mr Teyu Che Chern, 43, the chief executive of Singapore-based brokerage Philip Futures, said: "In school, I sang the National Anthem, but this the first time I'm signing the anthem as a Singaporean. It's a very special feeling."

Mr Teyu moved from the town of Pekan Nanas in Johor to Singapore in 1981, when he was seven, to go to school here. His wife and four children are Singaporeans.

Becoming a Singapore citizen was "a matter of when", he said.


"Singapore is a place where I have lived for more than 30 years. It was already my home," he added.

The rats are already deserting the sinking ship and these idiots are boarding the vessel on a one way trip to the bottom.

You would be sorely disappointed!

For years, the oppies have hoped to see Singapore burn. And each year, during the SG national celebrations from SG01 to SG52, they are sorely disappointed. We sinkies will enjoy the NDP fireworks and a good dinner with family and friends while the oppies sulk in their corner.

Among the new citizens was 43-year-old Teyu Che Chern, a former Malaysian who came to Singapore in 1981.

"I’ve been in Singapore over the last 30 over years," said Mr Teyu, who is the chief executive officer of financial broking subsidiary Phillip Futures. "So it doesn’t take too much time for me to consider, especially because my wife is a Singaporean, all my four kids were Singaporeans at birth."

"I also thought it’s also time for me to be a Singaporean and hopefully (be) able to contribute much more to the country," he added.

Commenting on what it means to be a Singaporean, Minister in Prime Minister's Office Chan Chun Sing said that multiracialism, meritocracy and integrity are the values binding the country.

"To be a Singaporean is not a matter of ancestry per se. To be a Singaporean is a choice," said Mr Chan in a speech at the event. "It is also a pledge, a pledge to build a country that despite our lack of a common history, to build a country with a set of common values.”

This is a perennial problems with Malaysian PRs. We even had to wait for a Malaysian PR who retired from Shell and who worked all his life in Singapore to quickly arrange for citizenship before asking him to run as MP. In the early 90s, directive went out that only citizens can be appointed as Head of Department even in GLCs. It did not work. It was so bad that now even PR can apply for Admin Service on condition they become citizens.

The focus is on the economy as the great altar of nationhood.

There's no shortage of capable jiuhukias who wish to renounce their m&d citizenship to be sinkies. It's certainly better than living as a 2nd class citizen in apartheid mudland. Over the decades, the number of capable chinks leaving mudland has increased, while mudland imports retards from indon simply because they want to increase the proportion of m&d muslims.
