Being Singaporean, I got interested in it's history...
National Courtesy Campaign launched on 1st June 1979 (That's 32 years ago, GOSH) by Mr. Lee Kuan Yew who was our first Prime Minister at that time. That's how
Singa the Courtesy lion is created.
Courtesy is for freeCourtesy is for you and me.It makes for gracious living and harmonyGiving a friendly smileHelping out where we canTrying hard to be polite all the timeCourtesy is for freeCourtesy is for you and me.It makes for gracious living and harmonyLiving could be a treatIf people are awfully sweetCourtesy could be our way of lifeCourtesy is for freeCourtesy is for you and me.It makes for gracious living and harmonyIt is rude to be abusiveJust to prove we're rightInstead we could be nice about it if we triedMake courtesy our way of life.Till date, courtesy campaign is still revolving to suit young generations. Way to go. I still like to hear more "Thank you"s in the outside world...
P.S. Can anyone find the song? I never heard it before... =_=
