What is the meaning of symbols in the life of human beings or in the life of a nation? You may call it a piece of metal but it is that binds the unknown people of a land. It creates a sense of we-feeling and togetherness. It is that gives people an identity. It is that you carry with you. This is the symbol of Singapore that brought together the migrant communities of different countries to create a sovereign territory ruled by the rule of law and subjugated by none. This is the symbol that identifies Singapore as a sovereign Nation-State with its own distinct identity.
