Kit Chan 陈洁仪 - 家

[FieryCheeze]

The last really good NDP song that's right up there with 'Count on Me, Singapore" and "We Are Singapore"

[petricia83]

I wonder why but besides the really old NDP songs like 'Count on me Singapore', this is the only one that touches me, connecting me with my homeland..

[xfrenz93x]

Although my mind wasn't on Singapore when this song played , it still brought a tear to my eyes .

[esthertan8]

she kinda looks lyk sammy cheng in tis vid ：D

[BiminiRosy]

The last part of the music was cut... :(

[jennie6924]

Where can i find this song for karaoke here? Can someone reply help me.

[mengqi68]

我的梦无论在何方，一生的爱，唯有家！

[jo2wong]

I have always loved this national song... well done Dick Lee... every country has flaws and strengths. No matter what, Singapore will always be my home!

[zhicong]

You need to get your facts right honey. Mine was. Yours? Just emotions. Blah!

[zhicong]

Hey justarandomme, for your information, there is something called freedom of speech. In which part of my post was I inciting racial hatred? Hmm?? I was merely pointing out to you a historical fact, something you might have forgotten. If you can't take it, well too bad. Its a fact that unless you are Malay, otherwise it's not correct to talk as if your ancestors were here all along.

[manyue2003]

Our forefathers were once immigrants too. Most of our ancestor are likely not even from this land

[StarSpawn06]

come on guys, culture is a human creation. it is precisely this constant influx of new peoples and ways that will keep our city living and unique :)

[myfyp2]

IMO, up to now this is the best National Day song.

[tkl0403]

Brings back memories esp. the ice kachang in the hawker centre... with the influx of so many PRs & FTs these few years, how many of the so called new "Singaporeans" can relate to this scene when they prob have not tasted 1 in the very 1st place?

[vorpal83]

@hjxfabio

Are you sure our forefathers thought of Singpore as home? All 4 of my grandparents considered themselves Chinese rather than Singaporean / Malaysian for most of their lives. I don't exactly see a problem with immigrants so long as they do NS and place their loyalty in Singapore, but why would they ever do that if people don't accept them here?

[zhicong]

@vorpal83 OMG i totally agree!! My maternal grandmother came from China, same as my grandfather. And i'm not sure if she considers herself Singaporean but she was always telling me about China... And that was, what, two generations ago? How quickly people forget. Ah the frailty of humanity

[MrSteinbeck]

never forget we're immigrants too

[yejiadong]

nice!

[yejiadong]

nice!

[snuggleskum1]

Watching this video makes me feel sad. On the one hand i can relate to the old times when I was in school and it's these memories that bind me inexplicably to this land. However half of the people I interact with at work and elsewhere will not share the same memories because their home is not here. I worry about the identity of our nation and it's people. These foreign born people may take up citizenship here but how many will have the same bind I have to this land?

[k3nshiboi]

i still feels here is home, but at times is to get out of home for a while and make here a better home...

[methoddingo]

As nice as the English version.

[hollandclose]

i know the composer is none other but Dick Lee. But anyone knows who is the lyricst for both english and mandarin?

[cinewhore]

@hollandclose English lyrics are by Dick Lee. Mandarin lyrics are by 木子.

[sunbliss79]

We are not losing our identity. Instead, our identity is evolving. It really does help if PA focus more on the integration of foreigners and new citizens, other than the 4 races. 4 races are one people now. One third of Singapore are foreigners. I believe future NDP should consider that as well.

[sugary88]

we may not love our government, but we're united with the brothers and sisters who are suffering with us. for me, that's enough reason to love singapore.

[280impreza]

Happy birthday singapore!

[justarandomme]

我的家……都快要成别人的家了~~~ T.T 

[jaslynk1]

@justarandomme agree! Some of us left our home and find a new home in other country. as our home has became somebody else home forever. Sigh~

[justarandomme]

@jaslynk1 it's like which ever place i go, i will hear a particular accent, instead of our own singlish~~

[jaslynk1]

@justarandommethey stay in our house, our homeland. but some of them scolded us instead.

[justarandomme]

@jaslynk1 yeah yeah, totally! if they dun like s'pore that much, please, get out of this little red dot. We've got no space for them~~~

[jaslynk1]

@justarandomme 难怪新加坡同胞们要离家出走。。。家快不成家了。

[zhicong]

@justarandomme how can you say that? are you malay? orang laut? they were the original inhabitants goon!

[justarandomme]

@zhicong Just mind your own business, I don't expect everyone to agree with me, that's just my personal opinion, if you don't like what I said, ignore it. And please, don't bring races issue here. I don't see why you wanna ask whether I'm a malay, orang laut and blah blah blah, when I'm not even talking about that. Get your facts right before asking this kind of sensitive questions.

[teosweewei]

really love this song.. this is the only national day song that can move and touch me...

[zhenjian85]

This is my favorite NDP songs...

[DragonLord986]

one and 2006 until 2010 ndp songs accept 2009 one cos it SU** man (This was posted in the year 2010.) =) hope this comment was read with part 1

Part 2 of 2

[DragonLord986]

Talking about floods...... man! Singapore now got damm lot of floods man espacially orchard rd shopping centres lots of flood in basement cos they say that the floods happening in macpherson and orchard as to much leaves twigs etc. and rubbish in the drain so the water cannot flow causing flood but Singapore not so much of a garden city compared to a several years ago but it is still beautiful.My favourite NDP songs are home ch and eng reach out 4 the skies sun yan zi sing ....... Part 1of 2

[WalterKluwers]

Not that I am totally supportive of the Government....migrating would not solve problems but would create new problems.. unless you are that rich... and can adapt to new environments quickly then go ahead, no one can stop you.

[WalterKluwers]

For those Singaporeans who think that Singapore is losing her identity, think again...do we have an identity to begin with? We all know from history that Singapore came from a small fishing village. It is through the handwork of our forefathers and government who CREATED this identity...deep down in our .hearts we are just afraid that the new influx of foreigners would make us lose this so- called identity...but the truth is with the current birth rate this seem to be the most viable solution..

[jaffabar69]

Its been 11 years since im back to singapore

... Im 18 now. And all I can say is this. Soo much has changed. but, Home remains the same.

Viva la Singapura! Chia Yo Xin Jia Po!

[Jadeslippers]

[ravellee]

best ndp song

[spongehuh]

this has to the best ndp song ever

[zekalow]

hey does anyone hav the karaoke version (without singer)? pls tell me where to get it

[AndromedaAiken]

You used to be able to download the minus 1 track in 2004 when the children's choir sang it as the NDP song.

[thewhiteknigh37]

i dunno about u guys but I just feel that singapore is losing her identity with the floods of foreigners coming into the country. I think this song epitomizes a nostalgic flow to the past and a ripple towards an unknown future.

[Caleb7575]

i agree tht this song epics a a nostalgic flow and everything but i don't think tht Singapore is losing her identity due to the floods of foreigners but i think its something good as Singapore needs foreign talent and work force.without those guys,Singapore wld not have developed tht fast to bcome a 1st world country.

[kaykentucky]

@thewhiteknigh37 well said. ppl r always reminiscing about the good old past. and the future for me is to migrate. lol. i'm really disappointed with the govt right now.

[adriannippy]

@thewhiteknigh37 Your ancestors were also foreigners mind you .

[leo2010projects]

@thewhiteknigh37 no matter what happens, Singapore is still my home.

[bonnielilas]

@thewhiteknigh37 our forefathers were foreigners when they came to Singapore... in time, the new immigrants and their children will be assimilated and become part of the 'Singapore Identity'. Stay positive!

[zhicong]

@thewhiteknigh37 I guess you are right to a degree. But i think we all forget most of us traced our roots from outside Singapore. The Chinese and Indians both hailed from their respective countries. Our forefathers came here and helped build Singapore into what it is today. So Singapore is technically an immigrant society. Isn't that right?

[redstonest]

This ndp song brings back most memories for me, when I watched NDP in 1998

[aivyelisa]
