What does EUTHANASIA mean to you?
RIGHT TO DIE? OR...
TASK 1: Create a blog or live journal and record your findings/reflections of the following questions:What do you think are the feelings of the patient?Does your religion have an opinion?What is the law in Singapore with regards to euthanasia?
I believe that the patients' feelings must be feeling very painful and do not want to continue their life. Furthermore, I think that the patients do not want to stay in this world as they may feel that their presence will be a burden to their loved ones like their family and friends. They may also feel that their presence will be wasting a lot of time, money and resources.
Besides having to face the physical pain of their illness or disease, they have to go through the emotional pain of losing their independence and the patients have to face these pain everyday. Yet, they cannot do anything much to solve this problem.
Furthermore, I think that the patients will envy other people of their same age as they do not face constraints while doing daily-life things. They have to be aware of their diet as well as their mobility.
Every single person in the world has feelings and they will definitely not allow the people around him or her to suffer with them. They will most likely want to bear the pain themselves and not harm anyone.
I believe that my religion has an opinion towards the issue of euthanasia. As a Christian, I am against euthanasia as firstly, our life is a gift from God and we should respect the life process that God had created. Thus, we should not intefere in the life of any person, even if that person wants to die. Secondly, human beings are valuable because they are made in God's image and so we should value our lives and treasure every single thing that we have in our life. Personally, I feel that we should not take our lives as many people have difficulty living for even a day. Being in this world is very difficult and we should be thankful that we can have the opportunity to live in the world and know many things. Many people in the world die of hunger, poverty and even of diseases. However, we should stay on until the very end so as not to let people around you to worry about you. During the days when we are still alive, we can still know many things and see the wonders of everything present in the world.
Singapore also has a view on euthanasia and she feels that it is illegal to allow euthanasia. The Netherlands was the first EU country to allow euthanasia in 2002, although in strict conditions, and was followed by Belgium the following year. Thus, it is not advisable for patients in Singapore wanting to kill themselves to end their pain.

Total Defence
What do you think of Total Defence Day and what it means to you? What do you hope to see in the Total Defence Carnival?
I think that Total Defence Day is a day that all Singaporeans should celebrate.
Total Defence Day means I should love Singapore and always be a proud citizen of Singapore.
Total Defence is a job that all Singaporeans should do, which means we should all defend and protect Singapore at all means.
Total Defence provides the framework for a comprehensive and integrated response to deal with all kinds of threats and challenges. Total Defence always involves every singaporeans, regardless of race, religion or age.
We should always remember the five Total Defence aspects – Military Defence, Civil Defence, Economic Defence, Social Defence and Psychological Defence.
Total Defence Day is celebrated in every school. In my school, the Uniformed Groups will celebrate and they will wear their uniform, march and stand in position. They wear their most formal uniform and always stand with pride at the parade square. When they sing the national anthem, they will salute the national flag. We should all say the Singapore pledge with pride, so we should also say it loud and clear.
The Total Defence carnival will be organised by a lot of the teachers and Uniformed Groups Cadets. I hope that the Total Defence carnival will be fun and interesting. I also hope that I will learn more about the meaning of Total Defence and having a greater awareness of total defence.

How important is it to have Singaporeans writing plays for Singaporeans? Give reasons to support your answer.
I think that it is quite important for Singaporeans to write plays for other Singaporeans. Singapore is lacking of people who can write plays well. If fewer and fewer people are writing plays, it means that Singapore will have lesser and lesser plays too.
Currently, I think that Singapore has more Chinese plays or drama than English plays and drama.
If we look at the other countries in the world, I think that Singapore is lacking of plays. I believe that a lot of Singaporeans can be talented play writers.
However, the plays may influence the people watching it. Plays are used to reflect the country's culture and language.
As a Singaporean, I of course will understand what is being played in the plays. However, our language is always Singlish. It means that only our Singaporeans will understand the language spoken, for example: lah.. loh.. cheh.. leh.. etc...
In other countries, the language spoken is international and can be understood by other countries' viewers. Therefore, we Singaporeans should also speak proper english too to let other viewers know what we are talking about. Singaporean plays like "Phua Chu Kang" can tell us that Sinagporeans love to say a lot of Singlish and one popular 'phrase' in this play is "don't play play huh" This is obviously a sentence full of broken english. That is why we must see the need that not only our language is bad, it actually reflects on our language ability. However, as plays can reflect on one's country background, it is still quite good, to know that we Singaporeans have an unique language.
Recently, an article reported that Korean is trying to limit the number of local plays. That shows that Korea has a lot of plays. Korea has too many plays and they want to limit it. Singapore yet, has little plays that Singapore always have to play other countires' plays for our own entertainment.
Singaporeans should be more creative in writing plays. If you look at the other countries' plays, you can see that their plays are more interesting and won't always be the same old story.
In conclusion, I think that it is important to have Singaporeans writing plays for other Singaporeans.:)
