The whole thing can
Even one of the national day song whose chorus is actually the national pledge also can remember how to sing the tune...
But you asking the kid's parents.... that one different thing because they will surely have even more number of years not hear the pledge as compared to me... Only 6 yrs no such school assembly needing to say the pledge...
Originally posted by airgrinder:Remembered the trial of Henry Ford when he started Ford? People wanted to prove he is the stupidest man in the world. They began by putting him on trial and asking him questions, unlike what TS had asked. Mr Ford couldn't answer most of them.
After 20 questions or so, he said "I do not know the answers that you are looking for to any of your questions. On my desk are 5 buttons where I can instantly summon people of knowledge and specialty related to my business. This leaves me time to think about other things. I do not see in anyway, how answering your questions will benefit me."
It was at that point of time than that the people realised indeed he is the smartest man.
So what if I can't name the smallest country...
you still got your 5 buttons?

You good lah. Maybe there is hope for Republic of Singapore still. I doubt that Fatum can though.
I guarantee you kids' parents cant sing national anthem as well unless they go NDP parades. Normal person will take time to holiday overseas or relax.

well said. ![]()
ummm….....i study in u.s and to tell u the truth…............i dont know most of the answers too…..............
There is no reason why you should know them.
Only people who are interested will bother to find out.
yeah i was thinking i wont need those info in my life so would i want to know the answers…............
There is no reason why you should know these facts.
Most people would consider it wothless information.
Important thing is for you to know things that are meaningful or valuable to you.
This is a subjective thing.
