Total Defence 2010 - 'I Will'

In 2009, we asked Singaporeans "What Will You Defend?". Total Defence 2010 takes the theme of self-reflection forward into personal action with "I Will".

Singapore is home. There are many things we can do to protect our home and way of life. It could be learning a personal skill, taking better care of the environment, donating blood, or helping other Singaporeans. It starts with two simple words: "I Will".

Think about your "I Will" and express your personal pledge in text, pictures or videos, and post your "I Will" online at the website http://www.iwill.sg. Encourage your colleagues and students to do the same, for great prizes worth a total of $8000 are up for grabs! The contest will run from 15 Dec 2009 to 15 Mar 2010.

Below are some examples of how some Singaporeans have used the "I Will" online contest to rally for support for their pledges.

I WILL uphold proper MRT etiquette http://www.iwill.sg/pledge/pledge_details.aspx?pledge_code=D5h3Y2e3rDOv

I WILL reduce my plastic bag usage by using at least one less bag per dayhttp://www.iwill.sg/pledge/pledge_details.aspx?pledge_code=Bf7oe9NqOD4k&type=recent&b=home.aspx&c1=10

Sec 1 to 3 pupils from ZSS had written their pledges on pledge cards and submitted them to Nexus on 25 Jan 2010. Selected entries will be used to create an art installation demonstrating our "collective will" to be unveiled during the commemorative event on 11 Feb 2010, graced by DPM Teo Chee Hean.

As our school moves into Total Defence Day commemorations that are initiated and implemented by the Sec 4 and 5 pupils (facilitated by their CME teachers, coordinated by Ms Rafiyah and Ms Shereen), we hope that you will continue to give everyone your support and encouragement.

Thank you!
