I have a friend whose classmate is a Permanent Residence but attending our local secondary school. recently she was expelled because she refused to recite the pledge during the morning assembly. after some warning she was expelled. So is this correct?
what about those "foreigner" such as malaysian, PRC etc studying in our govt school? should they recite the pledge and sing the anthlem?

PR yes.

The handbook say all Singapore Citizen must recite the pledge and sing the anthem. But it didn't say anything about PR.

by right, i dont need to say pledge or sing early morning exersice song, but being in singapore for so long, sing and say no harm la.

wats the meaning of PR?

Why didn't your friend just do it?
My friend a devoted Christian she also lit joysticks because her old grand mum will be happy. Old grandmum doesn't understand about Christian or other religion for the matter, but she gets happy when her grand children do it. Hence my friend do it.
Think bottom line is what the person believe in.
Out of curiosity, did the teacher stand beside your friend and look at him/her saying the pledge or singing the anthem?? How teacher know? -
