The Singapore Pledge

As the nation stands up to recite the national pledge together on the nation's 44th birthday:

We, the citizens of Singapore pledge ourselves as one united people, regardless of race, language or religion, to build a democratic society, based on justice and equality, so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation.

Something that I have been reciting since young, something that when recited, somehow brings to heart a feeling of pride in being Singaporean.
