Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts Yaacob Ibrahim has urged new citizens to uphold Singaporean values and build a shared future for the country.

He said they should play a part in contributing to the nation through active community involvement, such as volunteering at welfare homes or playing a part in outreach programmes.

He also expressed confidence that the new Singaporeans will embrace these values and help enlarge the common space that help to bind the people.

Dr Yaacob said: "Singapore continues to welcome new citizens for the rich diversity and vibrancy that they bring to our nation. And as we cherish this diversity, we must always hold dear the Singaporean values of multi-racialism and meritocracy that hold us together. We must continue to bond as a community that believes in opportunities for all, regardless of race, language or religion and build a shared future together."

He made these points at the National Citizenship Ceremony on Sunday, when 133 new citizens received their citizenship certificates.

They were among about 3,000 new citizens who affirmed their commitment to Singapore in ceremonies at various constituencies over the weekend.

To help new citizens better integrate in society, the Singapore Citizenship Journey was started in February this year.

Dr Yaacob said the completion of the programme is not the end but only the beginning of a lifelong journey of discovery and involvement in Singapore society.

It was a proud moment for new Singapore citizen, 43-year-old Johan Grundlingh.

The former South African national came to Singapore some 16 years ago and now calls this country his home.

He said: "All people are equal and I feel in this country that it's true and the principles that we uphold as Singaporeans are very strong and that unity amongst people is something that's very important."

Johan, who received his citizenship certificate from Minister Yaacob, is confident that he can embrace the values that are shared by Singaporeans.

Johan said: "I can assimilate into that way of thinking. I don't have an issue with it, especially coming from a country like South Africa - where there's a lot of racial problems - to a country like Singapore where I feel there's a lot of harmony amongst the races and the religions and the language groups."

i m sure the PAP will massively give out more citizenship to protect their votes...sigh...

That plan will backfire. New Citizen is not guaranteed. My Indian new citizen colleague whole family voted for the opposition in both of this year's election. Something the opposition should be tapping

I have spoken to quite a few and they are all not stupid to support the SCUMS.

Street protests WILL be started by these new citizens in the not too distant future. This will backfire in the face of the SCUMS IN WHITE. Mark my words, the SCUMS will be defeated by NEW CITIZENS who are fearless.

Yaacob is a joke.
His wife is American. His children, American. So, his son/sons no need NS.
Latest Wikileaks reveal this little-known secret.

Well, if all new citizens are like your colleague, then there's hope. But I doubt most new citizens will vote for the opposition.

Yaccob is a bloody hypocrite and a big liar. His once in 50 years is a classic.

Wonder if the Americans customs officers will dare stop him.

 

[methink]

I can see you not flattened yet... very soon, very soon.

with dogs like you stuffychute, who can stop him?

For the life of me, I just don't get it. How does Ministers like him expect Sinkies to believe them and be convinced to uphold singapore values and bind as a nation if they already have their Plan Bs to evacuate when the going gets tough? Are they even on the same page?

If former PM and SM and now SME Goh did it, what's wrong with it?

My Malay colleague told me that Yaccob Ibrahim and Hamilah Yaccob are a disgrace to the Malay community. They are always telling lies and like to fan satay for their evil masters. I asked him what 'fan satay' means and he said in Malay it mean sar kah and porlumpar.
