The "OTHER" NDP 2009 Theme Song

It seems that Singaporeans don't always "just lap it up" anymore. Gone were the days when everything went uncontested. This year, we start to see just about everything that can be challenged, contested. The AWARE saga was perhaps the most notable.

Now, even the official NDP Theme Song 2009 is being challenged.

Netizens are saying that the above song, Things So Singaporean, should have been the theme song for this year. It was composed and sung by Ann Hussein, with lyrics written by Judith d'Silva.

As for me, I'm featuring it because it is very informative and suitable for use in the NE lesson. Especially since it is as catchy as a jingle!

Anyway, I've included the official Theme Song for 2009 for you fans of local band Electrico:



So, what do you think?

Respect your national anthem, respect your nation

This is indeed an inspiring video!

If you, as the adult and source of inspiration to the young, do not respect the national anthem, expect the young to do likewise. And if you, as one who seeks to impress patriotism upon the next generation, do not respect your country, expect them to do likewise.

Your life is the seed of the next generation!
