History

Dear Students from Bukit Panjang and Ma Wan,

These are questions on the history of Singapore that you can discuss about.

1) What is the story of the Merlion?
2) What is the language of the national anthem? Why?
3) What's the history of Racial Harmony Day and why is there such a day?
4) Why are there four official languages (Mandarin, English, Malay and Tamil) in Singapore?
5) When did Singapore become and independent country? Can you give a brief history of it?

Have fun discussing these questions above!

Love,
Faith

  8. First built as an eight metre tall sculpture in 1972, the Merlion was located at the mouth of the Singapore River. In 1996, this prominent icon of Singapore was reproduced, on a much larger scale, on Sentosa island.

Hi,I am Shriya Nangia from Bukit Panjang Primary School.I am looking forward to meeting you on Monday.I have been reading about the history of Hong Kong and part of it(like being a British colony and being under Japanese occupation) is quite similar to Singaporean history.Could you tell me the official language of Hong Kong and is there more than one?

  17. Just wanted to share something about the Merlion.The Merlion is a beautiful hybrid of a lion and a fish. Strong and lithe, its lion head alludes to the fabled beast that once roamed the ancient island state, while its fish body symbolizes Singapore's origin as a prosperous seaport.
