Total Defence Day
Today marks the fall of Singapore to Japan 63 yrs ago. To mark the occasion, SCDF sounded the public warning system. What does this means to all of us? We shld be thankful that we enjoy peace and prosperity.
Anyway let me relate a funny incident my younger nephew, Shahrul, a.k.a Shah Rukh Khan (that's what he thinks he is) had last yr for TD Day. For that day the school (name withheld, Lee Kuan Yew used to study here) issued coupons to the students. So for that day the canteen only sell foods that were eaten during the Japanese Occupation. Shahrul got sweet potato. Kesian dia...dah lah kurus macam POW, dapat sweet potato. Nasib macam kentang dah!
Anyway, he refused to eat them, and he went on hunger strike. Member balik rumah muka stressed. Complain to the mum a.k.a my sis that he hungry. HAHAHAHA!
So to all Singaporeans, treasure our peace. However, if all else fails, there's ppl like me to rescue the damsels in distress. We dun take the SAF pledge for nothing baby!
The SAF Pledge
We, Members of the Singapore Armed Forces, do solemnly and sincerely pledge that: We will always bear true faith and allegiance to the President and the Republic of Singapore; We will always support and defend the Constitution; We will preserve and protect the honour and independence of our country with our lives.
