The world admired the way the Americans picked themselves up after the September 11th attacks in year 2001. The tragedy pulled them together. Ditto the Britons when the London Tube was hit by a series of coordinated bomb blasts in July 2005. Singaporeans, too, been put to the test have shown the Singapore spirit. In 2003, the nation and its stricken economy reunite to battle against the outbreak of the SARS virus. The never-say-die attitude was noted as everyone pulled together as a nation, to weather the economic downturn in the 1990s , recession in the 1980 and the double-digit inflation in the 1970s. More recently, PM Lee described how the nation reached out to the victims of the Tsunami Crisis in 2004 - as a spirit which hold us together as one united people ,each one doing his part, making Singapore as a vibrant , global city called home. The Singapore spirit captures is the nation resilience, which alludes to the ways the nation has tried to excel. These characteristics inspired the theme for the nation's 43rd National Day Parade - Celebrating The Singapore Spirit.
My Comments: As a Singaporean, I can really feel the resilience attitude among us. The SiChuan Earthquake devastation shows the national spirit as for reaching out, helping victims who have suffered from this disaster. Donations and aid have been sent/offered to them as well. Thus, I believe that we, Singaporeans , should carry on with such spirit, as what PM Lee have said " building our home and together , we will make it a vibrant, global city called home ! "
