HELPING SINGAPOREANS STAY ROOTED
'If you are Singaporean, you are comfortable anywhere in the world. Then you say, 'Well, one day I'll go home, but maybe for Chinese New Year or Hari Raya and then I carry on with my life and my career somewhere far off'.
So one of the ways to overcome this is for Singaporeans to feel Singaporean. It's to keep this sense of heritage and history, to know how we got here, to know where we came from before our forefathers came to Singapore and know why we belong here.
That's why we try hard to give people a sense of heritage, of place, of how Singapore came to be like this.'
PM Lee to a student from Temasek Junior College who asked about creating a sense of belonging to Singapore.
P.S: Hazeeq was the TJC student who questioned PM Lee.
