What changes your country within
years
What changes would you like to see take place in your
country within the next 10 years?
Prosperity, stability and harmony have always been goals
of countries and these take a lifetime of planning to
achieve. By virtue of her smallness and dynamism,
Singapore has taken a relatively short time, since her
independence, to change and develop into what I hope will
be a better place to live in.
Family planning measures were introduced in Singapore
in the early seventies. The results show that the public has
accepted the scheme well. The prospect of achieving a

constructed with specialized roofs designed to utilize solar

people will realize how important it is not to pollute our
seas.
It would be a welcome change to have our schools
function as full day schools instead of the present two
session schools. This way lessons, homework
assignments and extra curriculum activities can be carried
out within a planned time-table. The importance of
physical of physical education needs to be further stressed
to cope with the increasing problem of obesity. School
children also need to be taught about dental health and
major diseases such as high blood pressure, cancer and
diabetes. More education too should be made to cut
across the entire curriculum instead of being confined to
one or two period per week. This would hopefully bring
forth in well balanced, responsible and caring individuals.
