Racial harmony did not happen spontaneously in Singapore. It took hard work, sacrifice and wisdom.
Our founding fathers made multi-racial equality and harmony a fundamental principle of nation building. They did not suppress the distinct identities of each group, but instead acknowledged and accommodated them.
Over time, the different ethnic groups reached a balance through mutual compromise, and give and take. No group got everything it wanted. Each gave up a little in order for all to live harmoniously side by side.
As a result, Singapore is one of the few countries in the world where people of different races and faiths live peacefully together, and have done so now for more than half a century.
It is a rare and precious achievement, but also a delicate balance, because a harmonious, multiracial country is not a natural or stable state of affairs.

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Encik Mahmud Awang on Monday. He was one of Singapore’s founding leaders.
A widely respected unionist, Encik Mahmud first got involved in union work when he joined the Singapore Traction Company (STC) as a bus conductor. He became close friends with Mr Ahmad Ibrahim, Mr Devan Nair and Mr Lee Kuan Yew, won the support of many unions, and was elected the President of the Singapore Trades Union Congress (STUC) in 1958. When the STUC split in 1961, Encik Mahmud’s STC Employees’ Union was among the few that joined the NTUC, and he became Chairman of the NTUC’s Pro Tem Committee.
Encik Mahmud was elected to the Legislative Assembly in the 1963 General Election, and subsequently to the Parliament of newly independent Singapore. In the years when Singapore was in Malaysia, Malay PAP leaders, including Encik Mahmud, Othman Wok, Rahim Ishak, and others, came under enormous pressure by UMNO politicians to choose race over nation. But Encik Mahmud and his comrades held firm in their conviction. Their courage and leadership kept alive the vision of a multiracial Singapore, and enabled it to become the reality today.
Mr Lee was forever grateful for Encik Mahmud’s stout-hearted support at this critical moment in our history, and they kept in touch. At Mr Lee’s state funeral, Encik Mahmud was one of the pallbearers.
Encik Mahmud may have left us, but his legacy will live on. My thoughts are with his family in this time of loss. – LHL

To safely re-open our economy and society, we are ramping up our testing capacity and contact tracing. We will be offering TraceTogether tokens later this month, as an alternative to the TraceTogether app, both by Smart Nation Singapore and GovTech (Government Technology Agency of Singapore). The tokens will be a convenient option in case you come into contact with someone who has COVID-19 or fall ill yourselves, especially if you don’t have a smartphone.
Minister Lawrence Wong outlined our long-term plans to adapt to and live with COVID-19 in his national broadcast this evening.
As many of us have experienced, COVID-19 has fundamentally changed the way we live and work. Life will not go back to the way it used to be. As we adapt to the new arrangements, we must remain vigilant, maintain good personal hygiene, and learn new habits like wearing masks to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
Let us maintain the resourcefulness, resilience and determination we have witnessed over the past few months, as we step into this uncertain and new phase. – LHL

Majulah Singapura
My Beloved Homeland
Musical Arrangement: Isaac Low
Lyrics: Chong Choon Lee
Tiny fingers in roughened hand
Along the five-foot way, we went
Safe with Grandpa, by my side
Hand in hand, stride by stride
Fifty years I waved goodbye
All those memories passing by
Grandpa would not recognize
Those gardens in the sky
Chorus:
The red
The white
The crescent moon
The stars are five
Each a decade, thus we have survived
The red
The white
The crescent moon
The stars are five
Five hundred more years! We won’t be denied!
Many are the hands that toiled
Hearts that beat with fear and joy
Your steps that led the way ahead
Now they lead me home instead
I look above, the star-lit night
And down to gaze the boulevard
My li’l ones, they skip and run
Without worry or want
Chorus:
One Nation, our pride, one future in our hands
We’ll brave the world now and to come,
On my beloved homeland, I stand!
Final Chorus:
The red
The white
The crescent moon
The stars are five
Each a decade, thus we have survived
Our hearts
Our minds
Our spirit strong
Our will to strive
Five hundred more years! We won’t be denied!

I was given an opportunity to sing an original composition of Ms. Chong Choon Lee entitled, My Beloved Homeland. It was submitted for SG50 gift of songs in celebration for the 50 years of Singapore.
