2008 NATIONAL DAY MESSAGE TO ALL SCHOOLS,JUNIOR COLLEGES AND CENTRALISED INSTITUTES
Principal,teachers and students
INTRODUCTION
1.Tomorrow,we celebrate our 38th year of independence.38 years is a short history for any country.But we have come a long way.38 years ago,we were a poor country trying to create as many jobs as we could to feed our people.There was no Changi Airport,no multinational corporations or financial centre,no defence capability of our own.Only 60% of our people were literate.Only 11% of our students progressed beyond secondary school.Few people thought we could succeed,or even survive.But we overcame the odds.By working hard,finding our own solutions and tying our futures together as a people,we transformed Singapore into what it is today.
2.We now face renewed challenges as a nation.Terrorism is a real and continuing threat.Our economy has also been hit by the global economic slowdown,and more recently by SARS.Even after our economy recovers,we will face formidable competitors,especially in China and India.
3.We can overcome these challenges.We have faced up to many challenges before,especially when independence was first thrust upon us.We are in a stronger position today than in 1965.We have a skilled population,a world-class infrastructure,and the confidence of international investors.Most importantly,we are a united people,determined to meet challenges together.
THE FOUNDATION OF SUCCESS：ONE UNITED PEOPLE
4.A strong nation is not just made up of individuals,however talented.It rests on our collective efforts as one people.
5.Our experience with SARS is a good example of how we can overcome great challenges if we work together.All Singaporeans played a part in fighting SARS - the doctors and nurses in our hospitals,defence engineers working on the thermal scanners,the cleaning staff in our buildings and food centres,and everyone of you in our schools.
6.Our schools can take pride in how we stood up to the challenge of SARS.It has been a massive task to monitor the well being of more than half a million pupils and give their parents confidence in the safety of our schools.Our principals,teachers and other school staff rose to the challenge,calmly and meticulously.As pupils,you played your part well,by taking your temperature daily and exercising responsibility to prevent the spread of the disease.Even our Primary 1 and 2 pupils learnt how to take their own temperatures with the guidance of their teachers.The fact that a very large majority of parents sent their children back to schools as soon as we reopened them was a major vote of confidence,especially in our teachers.

导言
1 明天,我们庆祝我们的第38年的独立.38年是一个历史较短,对任何国家.但是,我们走过了漫长的道路.38年前,我们是一个贫穷的国家努力创造许多就业机会,因为我们可以养活我们的人民.没有樟宜机场,没有跨国公司或金融中心的地位,没有任何防御能力的我们自己.只有60 ％的人识字.只有11 ％的学生取得超出中学.一些人认为我们会成功,甚至生存.但是,我们克服了困难.通过努力,找到我们自己的解决方案,并把我们的未来作为一个人,我们把新加坡变成今天的成就.
2 我们现在面临着新的挑战,作为一个国家.恐怖主义是一种真正的和持续的威胁.我们的经济也受到全球经济放缓,以及最近的严重急性呼吸系统综合症.即使在我们的经济复苏,我们将面临可怕的竞争对手,尤其是在中国和印度.
3 我们可以克服这些挑战.我们面对的许多挑战,特别是第一次独立时强加给我们.我们处在一个更有利的地位,今天比在1965年.我们有一个熟练的人口,一个世界级的基础设施,以及国际投资者的信心.最重要的是,我们是一个团结的人,决心一起迎接挑战.
基金会的成功：一个联合国人
4 一个强大的国家不仅是个人组成的,但是人才.这取决于我们的集体努力的一个人.
5 我们的经验,SARS是一个很好的例子,我们如何能够克服巨大的挑战,如果我们共同努力.所有新加坡人参加了战斗非典-医生和护士,我们的医院,国防工程师热扫描仪,清洁工作人员在我们的建筑物和粮食中心,大家在我们的学校.
6我们的学校可以感到自豪我们如何经受住了非典的挑战.这是一个艰巨的任务,以监测的福祉有50多万学生,使他们的父母的信心,我们的学校安全.我们的校长,教师和其他学校工作人员增长的挑战,冷静和细致.作为学生,你打你哦,你的温度,采取日常和行使责任,以防止疾病的传播.即使我们的首要1日和2名学生学会如何把自己的温度的指导下,他们的老师.事实上,绝大多数的家长送孩子回学校,当我们重新开始他们是一个重大的信任投票,尤其是在我们的教师.
