Exactly!Originally posted by HyperFocal:Singing of the National Anthem should simply be encouraged, tactfully instilled in students. But applying the cane on those who did not sang, is very much the ways of some 3rd world countries....
If everything is "forced" upon a people of a country, how do you expect them to not fly away when they eventually become globally mobile working professionals???
National anthem should be played by an orchestra and sang by a choir with angelic voices.
Asking students with croaky voices to sing is an embarrassment, doesnÂ’t produce an emotional effect to a listener.
Standing at attention is good enough when the anthem is blared out from the loudspeakers.
If the school really want to instill discipline, punish the school bullies instead. School bullies cause far more damage to the victims emotionally. -
Now this issue of Bullying in Schools is a more notable blemish the government will do well to apply their Bitter Ointment on...pronto..Originally posted by googoomuck:Exactly!

Politics. We are literally surrounded by Malays.Originally posted by HyperFocal:You know, I wonder; Singapore being multi-racial and all that, WHY is the anthem in Malay??
Now, this is a sensitive area, thread carefully where race is involved...
comment responsibly pleas... -
A harsh ruling of suspending or even EXPELLING students who bully others should be put in place to arrest this trend at its root...!

Yar. The principal occassionally ask us to sing over and over again.Originally posted by MyPillowTalks:they oweis make u stay back to sing and sing.........not really force, but they compel<
but they still do not instill the mindset of piority of singing the national anthem

Agree.Its patriotism.I don't see why students have problem singing that,it does not affect one's pride or what ever so it just singing the national anthem.Those students who think they are force should undergo WW2 so they will be dying to sing them!Originally posted by Jontst78:every singaporean student should learn and sing the national anthem. Nothing wrong with that. Patriotism and Loyalty to the ruling dynasty are 2 separate issues. -
if you don't even want to sing, than fcuk off
and also, this is a big problem today in singapore schools
they are grooming 'elites' as well as self centered idiots -
This regime is banking on the bulk of its subjects not being " globally mobile working professionals ", isn't it? Let's face it, those who are truly globally mobile will hardly need to depend on this regime for survival - if anything, the regime's a hindrance.Originally posted by HyperFocal:If everything is "forced" upon a people of a country, how do you expect them to not fly away when they eventually become globally mobile working professionals??? -
If North Korea is to be used as a basis for any sort of a comparison, any other country on this planet would be entitled to feel they're a paradise.Originally posted by HyuugaNeji:Singing national anthem should be enforced. In some countries like North Korea or even Korea Republic (South Korea), you will be punished like a soldier for not singing. (run one round, do push ups, do extras)

Well you know teenagers are being 'Forced' to do almost everything like cleaning the room,greet the elderly,using good language,wash own dishes...etc.Today I am forcing my son to do the exact same things my dad forced me when I was a teenager>Originally posted by Slipshade:What do you mean by 'force'? I was never forced to sing the national anthem during my school days and I don't think they will do that anyway.

This is, after all, a regime led by self-proclaimed "elites" writing their own paychecks who put self-centred policies in place.Originally posted by gigabyte14:if you don't even want to sing, than fcuk off

Now, how can you fault those who are simply being led by the nose? -
All of us have a choice on whether to sing or not... Schools can't force you.
