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.:)
