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 free
Courtesy is for you and me.
It makes for gracious living and harmony
Giving a friendly smile
Helping out where we can
Trying hard to be polite all the time
Courtesy is for free
Courtesy is for you and me.
It makes for gracious living and harmony
Living could be a treat
If people are awfully sweet
Courtesy could be our way of life
Courtesy is for free
Courtesy is for you and me.
It makes for gracious living and harmony
It is rude to be abusive
Just to prove we're right
Instead we could be nice about it if we tried
Make 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... =_=
