The Pledge

... is actually quite a well-written thing, don't you think? It broadly covers both the political ('a free and democratic society, based on justice and equality') and the socio-economic ('progress, prosperity') aspects of the UNDHR and recognises that 'happiness' is an important aim.
It would be even better if Singaporeans, especially those holding up blue and red thunderbolts and drawing six peanuts in annual pay, held all of it close to their hearts and lived by it.
