Happy 44th National Day to Singapore!

The theme for Singapore's 44th National Day is "Come Together - Reaching Out. Reaching Up". It is a celebration of our nationhood, and of what it means to be a Singaporean. It is about unity. It is about reaching out to those in adversity and in need of help, and reaching up to greater heights of success with hope and confidence, against all odds.

The inspiration for the theme was drawn from the National Pledge that reads as follows:

"We, the citizens of Singapore pledge ourselves as one united people, regardless of race, language or religion, to build a democratic society, based on justice and equality, so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation."
