who wrote the Singapore pledge?

Answer 1

The National Pledge embodies the ideals for building a united Singapore. It was written in August 1966 by Mr S. Rajaratnam, the then-Minister for Foreign Affairs. Mr Lee Kuan Yew, the then-Prime Minister of Singapore refined it before submitting it to the Cabinet for approval.

The Pledge and its Origin:
Initially penned by Mr S. Rajaratnam in 1966, the Pledge was written against the backdrop of racial riots in the 1950s and 1960s. Mr Rajaratnam revealed that the dream was about building "a Singapore we are proud of". He believed that language, race and religion were divisive factors, but the Pledge emphasises that these differences can be overcome if Singaporeans cared enough about their country. The draft text was handed to the then Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew, who polished the text before submitting it to the Cabinet.

Our Singapore National Pledge:

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.
