Teachers, Parents and Students
1. It gives me great pleasure to be here at Telok Kurau Primary"s 80th Anniversary. I am heartened to see so many parents and students here this evening as we celebrate this occasion as a family, the Telok Kurau family.
2. The theme for your 80th anniversary celebration is "Treasuring our Past, Impacting our Future." And there is much to reflect on and learn from in the school"s past, starting from its days as Telok Kurau English School. Like the way it successfully integrated students from different backgrounds, including the students who came into the school from Telok Kurau Malay School.
3. I can do no better than recount what Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said just a few years ago: "I hope to remind parents that I started my school career in a modest rural school, as Telok Kurau Primary then was. It did me good. "
4. And as many of you know, Telok Kurau Primary is the only school on either side of the Causeway to have produced Prime Ministers for both Singapore and Malaysia. MM did his primary education here in the 1930s. So did the late Tun Hussein bin Onn, Malaysia"s third Prime Minister and father of the current Education Minister Hishammuddin bin Onn. These are moments in Telok Kurau"s history which will continue to inspire future generations of your students.
5. Telok Kurau has come far. The school has developed, from decade to decade, from a quiet "kampong" school to one that is now dynamic and forward looking.
6. I am especially glad to see that Telok Kurau Primary has been recently awarded the Lee Kuan Yew National Education Award 2006. The school has also been recognized for its emphasis on character development, for which it was given the MOE award for School-Based Excellence (PSE). The award will allow the school to further develop its programmes of character development. But as your principal shared with me, it is not the garnering of these awards that are important. The essence of it is that we are developing students with character, students who will be anchored by strong values as they face the future.
7. There are in this connection three qualities that I feel will give our children great advantage in life, and which we must nurture in them from young: our children will have to learn to be more sensitive to people from different cultures; they will have to be resilient; and they must have a sense of belonging to Singapore.
8. As Singapore becomes more open, and as we take opportunities abroad, young Singaporeans must be at ease working and living together with people of different races, religions and cultures. I learnt that 22 Primary 5 pupils from Telok Kurau Primary have just returned from a service learning trip to Chiang Rai, Thailand. The feedback from the students and teachers was that this was a great opportunity for cross-cultural exchange. It also developed their sense of empathy and sense of social responsibility. Such overseas trips and exchange programmes are important learning opportunities for our children to learn about themselves, as well as our neighboring countries.
9. Our children are also facing a world that is constantly changing and etched with uncertainty. We must prepare our children to be resilient and flexible to meet these challenges and bounce back from set-backs or failures. They need courage and strong belief in themselves. So I am glad to note that Telok Kurau Primary places importance on creating an emotionally safe environment for children to challenge themselves, and also to build up their confidence by “catch them doing right” or by celebrating small successes, not just big successes.
10. While cultivating a global mindset, we must at the same time help our children to grow their roots so that they are rooted by a sense of belonging to Singapore. Everything, from their family, to their friends and teachers in school, to the times they enjoy together as they grow up, and to the sights and sounds and the traditions they grow up with, will be what binds them to Singapore. We must create in them the feeling that makes them call Singapore home, no matter where they are physically.
11. This is why we must create opportunities for our students to interact, to play with each other, to develop common experiences and to establish lifelong bonds. I know Telok Kurau has in place a wide variety of programmes that cater to the needs and interests of our children, allowing them to do things together and develop friendships and loyalties along the way. I urge Telok Kurau to continue to strengthen such programmes.
12. As we look back on Telok Kurau Primary"s progress and achievements, we know that these would not have been possible without strong and forward looking leaders in the school management and the School Advisory Committee, a team of dedicated and caring teachers and strong support from the Parent-Teacher Association. They have all made Telok Kurau Primary what it is today
13. I also understand that we have with us this evening three teachers who have taught in the school for more than 3 decades. Mrs Fanny Chua and Mrs Kurup and Mrs Nathan, you encapsulate the dedication and commitment of our teaching force and we thank you for your contribution to the teaching service. Also present are ex-students spanning the decades. I am sure you must be very proud of your Alma Mater.
14. To the current students of Telok Kurau Primary, I encourage you to continue to work hard and continue to find time to interact and develop the bonds with your friends. You will be writing the next chapter of the Telok Kurau story, and in many ways also the Singapore Story.
15. My very best wishes to Telok Kurau Primary on your 80th Anniversary and I wish you well as you continue on your journey of excellence.
Autumn is a good time of year, flowers, singing waves.
Friends and family gather, love lovers together, you and me together we can work together to head for a better tomorrow and get together!
Before the start of the evening, allow me to send on behalf of People"s Network User Association festive good wishes and sincere greetings! Wishes to the great prosperity of the motherland, I wish all of you good health and friends, Family Fun!
This evening, the People"s Network User Association, Friendship Association Society Museum in the autumn held a grand National Assembly couplet of the poem.
Sihai toast, together friendship, laughter, jubilation.
I remember a year ago that thrive in the spring of life, recreational, held for the first time in Spring Rhyme poetry event, a master line-up, works occur repeatedly, and fully demonstrated the strength of recreational users, courage and harmony, the spirit of fraternity.
Since then, every major festival, friends couplet of the poem became the General Assembly to retain the recreational programs.
This evening, we are still in such a way to celebrate the birthday of the great Republic of ... ...
Lianyi today has gone through a set of two years.
If the start-up was also in the toddler, then it is now prudent steps towards maturity.
Each of her footsteps, are soaked with blood and sweat of the users;
Her every step of growth, accompanied by friends surprise and pride ... ...
I love to encourage growth is an inexhaustible motive force Friendship!
Friendship grew up, but the friendship has not changed the spirit of the fraternity, "Friendship with long harmonic Yizhuang also" has not changed the purpose of serving, recreational users of the mental outlook of advance has not changed.
- I believe that in this harvest season, tonight"s couplet of the poem the congress will be more fruitful to bear fruit!
Always happy to meet the short-lived. Sincere best wishes, telling the truth, the tell the truth, that different words that mean the feelings have been echoed in the ears, stirring in their hearts, it is difficult to forget for a long time!
We have harvested! Excellent pack, good sentence colorful, lively scenes of wonderful scenes, the Fellowship of the festive atmosphere to a climax!
We harvest the true feelings are strong. This is true, it is recreational users to cast sincere heart bit by bit.
This is true feelings, like swimming in the ocean waves rolled, deep and stretch; valuables as beautiful sandy beaches in warm, soft and full.

Me
and
my
Fears
Honorable
judges,
distinguished
guests,
ladies
and
gentlemen:
It
is
a
great
honor
and
pleasure
to
be
here
on
this
beautiful
Saturday
morning
to
share
with
you
my
sentiments
about
life
and
passion
for
the
English
language.
About
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
I
took
part
in
my
very
first
English
Speech
Contest.
When
I
stood
before
the
microphone
with
all
eyes
starring
directly
at
me,
I
could
hardly
speak.
I
stood
there,
embarrassed
and
helpless,
struggling
in
vain
for
the
right
thing
to
say.
My
fears
had
paralyzed
me.
While
my
passion
for
English
has
never
changed,
I
lost
my
courage
to
speak
in
public.
When
my
professor
again
encouraged
me
to
take
part
in
this
Competition,
I
said
“no.”
I
couldn"t
endure
yet
another
painful
experience.
He
looked
me
straight
in
the
eye
and
said
something
that
pierced
my
heart.
I
will
never
forget
his
words.
“Look,”
he
said,
“We
all
have
our
fears,
and
you
have
yours.
You
could
twist
your
ankle
in
a
basketball
game,
but
then
be
afraid
to
ever
play
again.
Running
away
can
never
dispel
your
fears,
but
action
will.
A
winner
is
not
one
who
never
fails，but
one
who
never
quits.”
I
spent
a
whole
day
with
his
words
twisting
and
turning
in
my
mind.
Then
I
made
the
bravest
and
wisest
decision
of
my
life:
I
would
face
my
fears
–
and
take
part
in
the
competition!
As
it
turned
out,
my
dear
old
professor
was
right.
Now,
here
I
am,
once
again
standing
before
a
microphone.
My
heart
is
beating
fast,
and
my
mouth
is
dry,
but
most
importantly,
I
have
faced
my
fears
--
and
that
makes
all
the
difference!
Thank
you.
战胜恐惧
尊敬的评委，各位来宾，女士们先生们，我很荣幸在这个美妙的星期六早上来到这里，与你们分享我生命中一段特别的经历。
大概一年半以前，我参加了生平第一次演讲比赛。站在麦克风前，面对观众们期待的眼神，我竟紧张的说不出话来。那一刻，我是多么无助啊！
我对于英语的挚爱从未改变，但却从此失去了面对公众演讲的勇气。当老教授鼓励我参加希望英语风采大赛时，我拒绝了。他直视我的眼睛，说了一番令我终身难忘的话。“你瞧，”他说，“我们都有自己的恐惧。你可能会在一场篮球比赛中扭脚，并从此害怕再打球。你只能用行动去克服自己的恐惧，逃避是没有用的。生活中的成功者往往是永不放弃的人。”
我花了一整天时间思考他的话。
然后，我做出了一个勇敢而明智的决定：
我要参加中央电视台第五届“希望之星”英语风采大赛！
老教授是对的。我发挥出了自己的水平，一路杀进了全国总决赛。此时此刻，当我再一次站在了麦克风前，仍然心跳不止，但更重要的是，我终于能够勇敢地面对我的恐惧了，而这已足够了。
