Be different, but not divisive

Throughout the elections, I saw various forces polarising our nation, sometimes in an uncivilised way, to support their political party.

Now that the hustings are over, I trust we realise that we may be different but it does not mean we cannot be tolerant. We may be divided in our views, but we do not have to be divisive.

We may disagree but we need not attack each other. We may not have a common ideology, but it is time we realise that we share common ideals for a better life and a better world.

We may not share the same desire, but we share the same destiny.

We may not share the same manifesto but we can decide to respect, not retaliate; progress, not regress; be constructive, not destructive; forgive, not begrudge; heal, not harm; and love, not hate.

As one united people, we can help Singapore reach a higher level in a complex, challenging world. Let us march together to make our world a better home. Majulah Singapura!
