Singapore, our city.

A multi-racial country.

Famous for its clean and green community,

Where everyone works together

And lives in harmony.

Home to 4 different races,

Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian

Different language and religion

Different customs and traditions

But all live in one nation

The festivals we celebrate,

Bring us all together as one

From the sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year

To the lighting of candle on Deepavali

And from the gathering of Malay families on Hari Raya

To the singing of carols on Christmas day

The joyous sounds of people can be heard

As Singaporeans of different races

Come together as one

In the celebration of our country’s culture

And our heritage.

So many different kinds of food,

Which everything tastes so good.

A one-rice Malay dish called the nasi lemak,

With its soft, fluffy and fragrant rice,

Fried crunchy anchovies and cucumber slice.

Singapore’s favourite seafood, the chilli crab,

Slightly spicy, very juicy,

One of a kind delicacy.

Roll, punch, flip, fold,

And fried into the colour of brown-gold.

At last, the famous Indian roti prata is ready to be sold

Sheperd’s pie, a food that is unique.

Which uses any kind of leftover meat,

With soft and rich mashed potato crust on top of it.

With diverse heritage and culture

Singapore is a place unlike any other.

A place that everybody wants to be in

To be a part of Singapore.

A part of its 192-year heritage

A part of its 5 million strong citizens today

Is a joy we must cherish

And to be patriotic to call it

Our home.
