As a Singaporean teenager, I believe that the most basic, but at the same time most important way to support our national leaders is to trust them. Since we are still considered young, we are unable to do much in deciding who leads us, and how we are leaded, mainly due to the fact that most of us have not reached the permitted age for voting in Singapore. However, we can still do our part by believing in them and giving them a chance to prove themselves. It is impossible for a person to lead a country without supporters, or people behind them, no matter how great he/ she is.
As for the advice I would like to give to my peers who are taking Singapore’s peace and success for granted, I hope that they will know that what we have now is not something we are blessed with, but something we have earned. Our peace comes from friendly ties with other countries, and our success comes from every citizen’s hard work. If something is earned, it means it can also be lost. You will never know when a terrorist attack will strike, a natural disaster will destroy our homes and a war breaking out.
