SINGAPORE: Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts Yaacob Ibrahim has urged new citizens to uphold Singaporean values and build a shared future for the country.
He said they should play a part in contributing to the nation through active community involvement.
He also expressed confidence that the new Singaporeans will embrace these values and help enlarge the common space that help to bind the people.
Dr Yaacob made these points at the National Citizenship Ceremony on Sunday, when 133 new citizens received their citizenship certificates.
They were among about 3,000 new citizens who affirmed their commitment to Singapore in ceremonies at various constituencies over the weekend.
To help new citizens better integrate in society, the Singapore Citizenship Journey was started in February this year.
Dr Yaacob said the completion of the programme is not the end but only the beginning of a lifelong journey of discovery and involvement in Singapore society.

Pros and transexual are just as human as Beguia. In fact, buddhists pray to the wellness of Beguia‘s dick as well. Dick must be the most important part of Beguia‘s body.
