Pledge in Chinese

Emily wrote briefly in her post dated 9 June 2005, about her saying the Singapore's pledge in Chinese when she was in her secondary school years. It reminded me of my days in my secondary school when we would say the Singapore's pledge in Chinese on every alternate week. So for one week, we would say the pledge every morning of the school-day in English; for the other, we would do so in Mandarin.


我们是新加坡公民，
誓愿不分种族、言语、宗教，团结一致，
建设公正平等的民主社会，
并为实现国家之幸福、
繁荣与进步，
共同努力。
