What will you defend?
I will defend my country as this is where I have grown up in. Singapore is where I will live in the future and we must protect it for our future generations. That is why every Singapore must go for National Service to do their part in protecting Singapore from foreign attacks and terrorist invasion.
I will defend for my family and friends which have given me the necessary support and help me grow up.
Quote from Ong Ding Sen: "In times of crisis, I will strive to defend my country as it is where i grew up it is an important place to me, my family as they are the most important people to me and I do not wish to see anybody get hurt and I will defend my life."
I agree with Ding Sen, I will protect everything that is important to me.

quoting from bryan chai
the thing I will defend in times of threat and danger
1) my family
2) my friends
3) my virtues
my family comes first without any exceptions , along with my friend as without them life is hardly worth living, and no mater what it is always good to keep our virtues , as it defines us , but in these dire days, threats and dangers are so great, there is little we can do to help, men can only do so much to solve big problems such as new viruses and global arming and so on. and all hopes are place in God, there is not much we can do. but things that we can do must be done and done right as god always uses small things to confront the mighty.

On Xin Kai's post:
I agree with Xin Kai that protecting our family is important. Without our family, we would not have their support and care, that have helped us to become what we are today. I also agree that protecting our school is important. The time we have spent in school have certainly taught us how to live life to the fullest, how to be a good person and how to be able to contribute to society.
My views:
I would defend my family, as they are the ones who have provided and taken care of me all these years. Without them, I would not be what I am today. If they are not around, i would also not have anyone so close to me, to share with them my cares and concerns, and how to overcome any problems I may have.
I would also defend my religion, by protecting my church. My church is where I am able to learn more about God and how to be a good Christian. Without God, I would not even be born into this world. It is also thanks to God that I am able to do well in my studies. Hence, I would protect my church so that i would still have a place to worship and give praises to God.
I also feel that defending my country is very important. Singapore is my homeland, I was born here and this is where I have stayed and grown in for about fourteen years. I would never desert my home. I would protect Singapore and preserve our heritage and our own unique way of life.

What will i defend
I will defend those around me with sentimental value, such as my family members and close friends, for nothing will ever be able to replace them if they are gone, therefore it would be better that i cherish them while they are still alive, rather to only realise that when they are gone, which is too late. My parents ecspecially, as they were the ones who have provided for me over all these years, and it is natural of me to repay them by defending them, just like i know they would do their best to protect me. I would also defend my country, as this is where i spent my whole life in, and propably where i would want to spend the rest of my life in, and i feel that i should do my part in protecting it.
Quote from joseph: Firstly, I would defend myself first, not because I am selfish or whatsoever.In order to defend my family an friends, I must, first of all, be able to defend myself, other wise, if I could not defend myself, and want to defend others first, I might lose my life before even going to the next level of protecting my family and friends.
I quite agree with joseph on this as if a person is not even able to fend for himself, surely, he would not even be able to defend others. Therefore i think that before we defend others, we must learn to protect ourselves first.

From Brendan's PostIn times of crisis, I would do whatever it takes to protect those who are close to me, such as my friends and families. They have all helped me when I am in need and it would be wrong to just abandon them. It does not matter what happens to me as long as they are safe as I love them. I would be feeling worse when those that are important to me get hurt rather than me getting hurt.
I agree with Brendan: I would defend my country at all costs, but not at the risk of my own life, because if I get hurt, I would not be able to defend my country and the consequences might be disastrous.

What do you hold most dear in life such that you would strive to protect and defend in times of threat or crisis?
I will defend for my family, my friends and future citizens of the county.
First and foremost, I'll defend my family becasue they took care of me for fourteen years.
Secondly, I'll defend my friends because they are the most important things in my life after my family.
Lastly, I'll defend the future citizens as I want them to enjoy the beautiful garden city that our forefathers worked hard to create.

Quote Ding Sen
I agree with Ding Sen's post, in that first and foremost, we have to defend the most obvious thing, our lives. I also strongly agree with Ding Sen that we should defend our family members. They are the ones who are biologically similar to us, and as Ding Sen mentioned, "they are the few humans on earth that are close to me and knows me well
" Lastly, Ding Sen has mentioned something that I totally agree with, "I will also protect my dignity and values as I do not want to be a heartless person that will do anything to protect what he wants.
" I find that dignity and courage are the few qualities we should possess in order to survive through hard an difficult times.

What I will strive to defend and protect and times of crisis would be everything that i have and most importantly , my life.
Without my life I cannot do anything.
I would protect everything I have as they belong to me and I am responsible for it.
This means that I would protect my country if I could as i am living in it.
I will also protect my family members as they are the few humans on earth that are close to me and knows me well
Last but not least , while trying to protect everything I have, I will also protect my dignity and values as I do not want to be a heartless person that will do anything to protect what he wants.

1) In a time of crisis,i will at all cost try to protect those people of great value to me, such as my family members and close friends.
2) This will be my first priority because my parents raised me up from young and looked after me for fourteen years. Without them, i will not even be born to this world. They have showered me with care and concern since young so now it is my turn to protect them.I cannot be unfilial as it is one of the worst things anyone can do. As for my friends, they helped look out for me and help me when i am in trouble and help me in my studies when i am unsure. Thus, i must do the same for them as i cannot be ungrateful and ignore them.
Quoted from Wen Liang(19)
I would also defend my homeland, because this is where i belong and have grown up in this Singaporean culture, as a Singaporean and where I have have learnt so many marvelous things. What i will also defend any source of communication i have with others because we need to depend on one another and that would be the only way i could contact them.
i agree with you Wen Liang. Singapore is where we were born and our ancestors worked hard to build Singapore to what it is now. If we do not defend it, we will be putting all of our ancestors' effort to waste. We will alsoo have to defend any source of communication as during a crisis, it will be chaotic and you will have difficulty finding your friends and love ones

I would protect,
1. My family. My parents brought me up and I want to repay that. My brother is the closest person to me.
2. My citizenship I would not belong to a country if it falls to invaders
3. My friends. Who can i talk to if there is nobody around?
4. My home. After the war, i will need a place to stay. Nobody would be able to live without this.
5. The people of Singapore. A country will not be a country without its people
Quote: Without global threats, such as wars, everyone in the world would be peacful. When we have peace, no one would want to harm others and thus, eveyone would be safe and sound.(Brendan(5))
I do not agree on this as the war is only indirectly killing the people on both sides. It is the people behind the wars that is pulling the strings to raise racial tensions among people. Even if these people are destroyed, more will sprout out. This has become a vicious cycle and is hard to stop.

From Brendan's Post
-------In times of crisis, I would do whatever it takes to protect those who are close to me, such as my friends and families. They have all helped me when I am in need and it would be wrong to just abandon them. It does not matter what happens to me as long as they are safe as I love them. I would be feeling worse when those that are important to me get hurt rather than me getting hurt. I agree that is it important to protect your family. Their are many others out there who would also defend their families. I would defend my family too. How about your relatives who do not stay with you or you grandparents. Will anyone defend them when it is time. What i am trying to say is defending is not only about defending your family it is about defending everything around you. Country ,neighbours , friends all those people are worth defending too.
I would defend everyone whom is around me who i can get my hands on. Not only my family, but my country, they are all worth defending. I will do whatever it takes. Singaporeans should have the commitment and confidence in our country. If no one has the commitment to protect the country the city will crumble. Everyone will be equally selfish, they would only care for themselves. We have to help each other out and take responsibility in our acts to protect what is ours; to seek to be left in peace; to progress and prosper in a unique way, as a nation. When our country is in trouble it is not only the responsiblity of the Armed Forces or the Navy it is the responsibility of the whole entire nation. People of different races should work together, people of high status should work together with people of lower status, people must respect each other as well as provide equal opportunities for all regardless of race, language or religion. The civil defense should be on guard helping others to make sure that life goes on in times of need. Defence needs a lot of cooperation and a good working attitude with constant upgrading of one's skills. There are five different aspects of defence that we all should have psychological defence, social defence, economic defence, civil defence and military defence. We all should have these five aspects to progress as a nation.

1) I would protect my family members, my friends and people living in the same country as us in times of crisis.
2) My family members are the closest ones to me, so I would protect them in times of crisis. My friends are the people who have helped me and learned with me so I would protect them and I believe that they would also protect me if Singapore is in trouble. I would also protect people living in the same country as me as we all would have the same future together. I believe that all of us would unite together in times of crisis to fight off the invading enemys.
Quote from Darrin: During the Japanese invasion, people also fought hard to defend Singapore. If Singapore had fallen during that time, I may be leading a different life right now.
I agree that people fought hard to defend Singapore but most of the people defending Singapore were from the Brithish and Singapore did fall during the Japanese invasion. It was only till 1945 that the Brithish controled back Singapore.

If there is a threat or crisis, the first thing that I would protect are my family. They are most important to me, as they helped me grow up and become what I am now. From young, they have been supporting me, teaching me and giving me whatever I need to live and grow. Thus, it is my very responsibility to protect them in times of crisis. If I do not protect them and something happens, I would be ultimately ungrateful and would have failed in my duty as a son and brother. I would do anything to defend them from any threat
The three aspects that are valued in my eyes are integrity, loyalty, and fillial piety. Without these aspects, I would be just another bad person. Without integrity, no one would believe me and even if I warn them of an approaching danger, they would take it as another lie. Without loyalty and fillial piety, I would be betraying those who had helped me come so far

If we do not possess these qualities, how are we going to survive through our endeavors. If everyone were to be courageous, we could survive whatever threat or crisis that is in store for us, but of course we have to encourage our peers and family to stand strong, so that we can endure the situation.
Firstly, i think that this point of view is very unique and rare. Mostly i agree with him, but he did not mention about what he wanted to defend. Just courage and dignity? With courage and dignity, but without a will to protect others, what would it all mean? If you are able to save yourself but lose the people close to you, what would anything ever mean again? I think besides what he said, he should include his friends and loved ones.

I disagree with the part of Xin Kai's post where he would return the favour to his family. I feel that we do not return the favour to our family, but we do it cause we know we ought to as they have raised us up.

2)I would defend my family as they were the ones that brought me up without wanting any repayment. They were the ones who also gave me food, shelter and a life of education. My friends are also important to me as they are the people i spend most of my time with. I am sure they would also defend me if needed to. I would also defend Singapore as it is the country where I was born and raised up. During the Japanese invasion, people also fought hard to defend Singapore. If Singapore had fallen during that time, I may be leading a different life right now. Therefore, it is my duty to protect Singapore in times of threat and crisis.

Views on what i'll defend and protect
I would like to comment on what Gerard Peng (28) 2D wrote on his posts. He said that he would like to protect his radio and extra batteries. I agree with him as by tuning in to the latest news, it can help him know how safe his family is and whether it is a safe place. Also i think that it is an odd item to protect as during a crisis, most people would just start to panic. They would just find places to take shelter and keep themselves safe. For people who remember to bring radios that will keep them posted on the latest news, they must be really calm minded and not rash.

What I'll defend and protect
1) In times of crisis i will defend my family, friends, country and myself.
2) Family is always the most important to many people, my family has always been there to support and encourage me in whatever i do. They are constantly concerned about me and they all hope that i will grow up to be a fine man.
Friends appear in our lives everyday. They are always there to share happiness and joy with us. Also friends cheer us up when we are feeling down. In return we are also always there for them.
The country that i was born in is my birth country. I am so lucky to be able to be born in a country like Singapore where education is great, the food is excellent and more. As a form of gratitude, i would like to protect my homeland in times of crisis and danger. i would like to keep it from danger, to protect it.
Last of all, i would protect myself. Survival is one of the most important things on this planet. We survive everyday so that we can see tomorrow. We survive bad days so that we can live to see hope tomorrow. I personally do not want to die without accomplishing anything in life, it would be such a shame. So i definitely would protect myself.

-Family
-Friends
-Bible
I will defend my family as they have been taking care of me and grooming me to be a fine man.They had also take care of me and encourage me to never give up.My family and i bonded a lot which make us stay closer together and not dislike each otherI love them very much and so would protect them at all cost.I would also protect my friends as they have been a source of encouragement too.Also,my friends and i have worked together and bond together.They are the people who will brighten up my day.Whenever i feel bored,they would be there to keep me company.Lastly,I would definitely defend my bible because it has been guiding me throughout my life.When I'm in a dilemma,i turn to the bible and sometimes it helps me make my decision by telling me what is right and what is wrong.It guides me as a source of encouragement through trouble times as well.Without it,i would probably be an evil person.

I do agree with him to some extend, but, what's the point of defending your courage and dignity if there is no one left to see it. Even if you encourage your friends and family to be courageous and not to give up in times of crisis and threat, but you do not defend them, you never know what may happen to them, and they may not be around to applaud your courage.
Personally, i would protect my family and friends, because, no matter what happens during periods of crisis and threats, they are the ones whom you can depend on for encouragement and support, they are the ones who pack our parachutes and push our swings.

Q1) What I will strive to defend and protect and times of crisis would be my family, friends and my country.
Q2) I will defend and protect my family as they are the ones who have been giving me support and encouragement all these years. They are the ones who have truly loved unconditionally. They are the ones who have stood by me through hard and difficult times.
I will defend and protect my friends as they are the ones who shared my joy and sorrow. They cheer me up when I am feeling down and they stood up for me whenever I am wronged.They accompany me when I am feeling lonely.
I will defend and protect my country as it is my home and it gives me a sense of belonging. I grew up this country and I will answer the call when it needs me to defend it.

1.I will defend my parents, because without my parents, I would not even be alive. When I needed help, they were always there for me and I should be repaying them. And also because I love them.
2.I will defend my friends because they were always there for me if I faced some problems in school. Without my friends, I would not have anyway to talk to and would be very lonely.
3.I will defend Singapore because it was where I grew up and all my happy memories are. Singapore is also my country, so as a citizen of Singapore, I ought to sacrifice myself to defend Singapore.

Quoting from Jin Kiat: Although I think family is always more important than friends, i agree with Amos that peoples' point of view should be respected.
You might not be comfortable to tell some secrets and problems with your parents and sometimes friends are just what you need. I am not saying that friends are more important than family but when the need arises, friends could be just what you need. To me, friends and family are just as important as each other.

Quoted from Cameron, he may be right about keeping a good impression on ones self. I would enjoy being greatly respected, but i'll definitely protect my loved ones when threats and crisis are present, even if it means destroying my pride and dignity. No matter the humility i have to face and overcome, nothing will stop me from protecting them. There will always be bad people in this world and it's up to good innocent people to put them to justice and minimize the damage to the world they can do.
My three "C's" are Country,Close friends and Community. This description isn't very accurate but its roughly the first thing i'll look out for in times of danger.

I strongly believe that the most significant thing to defend and uphold during hard and threatening times is our courage and dignity. Without these important values, how are we going to be able to survive, and fight through difficult times? I believe that courage and dignity are a main key to success in whatever the situation may be. On top of defending these essential qualities, we also have to defend our loved ones, as we know deep down that they will do the same for us. With our loved ones by our side, and with the courage and strength we possess, the chances of getting through our endeavors are extremely high.

Comment on Ashley's comment.
(From Bryan Chai)
I will protect my Religion and my God because He has given me EVERYTHING, My Family, Friends and Country. It is all thanks to Him that I am still alive and well. I will protect my view of Him and of my Religion, and I will protect my Faith in Him just as He has EVERLASTING Faith in me. It is also because of his AMAZING Love, Grace and Forgiveness that still spurs me on.
(From Ashley Lim)
----- You can protect your religion, but it is not you who protect your God, but it is your God who is protecting you, in life everything there is a purpose even if you lose your family or friends there must be a purpose in it, but there is one thing you got to trust in is your own God which I agree with you one protecting your faith in him.
I do not agree with the first part in Ashley's comment, because it is, in fact, possible to protect or defend your God. One way is, that if others insult your religion, you are kind of able to defend your religion by making them stop insulting it, and in that way, it might be counted as defending your religion.
However, I agree with the second part of the comment. Even when God chooses to bring your family or friends up to heaven, he has a purpose for you, and he also has a reason for whatever thing he does, be it good or bad.

"Firstly, I would defend myself first, not because I am selfish or whatsoever. In order to defend my family an friends, I must, first of all, be able to defend myself, other wise, if I could not defend myself, and want to defend others first, I might lose my life before even going to the next level of protecting my family and friends. "
I agree with him because it is true that without your life, or your health, you wouldn't be able to protect your loved ones and your country at 100%.

What will I defend?
Q1) I would defend:
-my family
-true friends
-my bible and rosary
because they helped me in my life.
Q2) Firstly, I would defend my family members as they are the closest to me and I love them as they took care of me, gave birth to me, consult and console me. We lived together for many years and learnt how to care and protect on another.
Secondly, I would also protect my friends as they helped me when I am in need or in trouble. We know each other very well. We work together, we help one another, care for one another, and many more.
Lastly, the bible and rosary because they are the objects to give me faith and courage to carry on when I am in a crisis. It also helps me to pray to God. God helped me when I and in trouble or desperate need. He guided me through these years and I should be grateful to him.

What will you Defend?
I am Joseph Wong (14) of sec. 2D.
1. What do you hold most dear in life such that you would strive to protect and defend in times of threat or crisis?
I would, if I could, defend my family and friends if I could, and I would defend myself too, because I find them the dearest to me in times of needs, as I find them the best in my life, other than God himself.
2. For the above question, state three different aspects and include in your responses, why you think these specific aspects are important to you.
Firstly, I would defend myself first, not because I am selfish or whatsoever. In order to defend my family an friends, I must, first of all, be able to defend myself, other wise, if I could not defend myself, and want to defend others first, I might lose my life before even going to the next level of protecting my family and friends.
Secondly, I would want to defend my family, because my family had been taking good care of me till 14, and even so, they are still taking care of me. They are the only ones whom have stayed by me during my entire life, other than God himself. Who would not want to defend their family will be, to me, an unfilial person.
Thirdly and lastly, my friends are also very important to me, as they would always be there for me whenever my parents are not around. I also share my happiness and sadness with them, and they would be a good friend by listening to me. They can be counted as my second family, so I will also want to defend them.

Commenting On Xinkai's Post
Quoting From Xinkai:
I just find a motivation and reason to try and best and get a good job to give money to my parents and let them enjoy life.
I find that XinKai View from this point is very good as we should be filial to our parents.

I will defend um...
I will definitely defend my family and friends cause they are the most important thing to me in the whole world. As a filial son I must do my part and defend my parents with all my strength. They were the ones who gave me food, shelter, taught me how to be the person I am today and gave me my education. My friends are very important too. I will defend them as much as i can and i know that they will do the same. Finally, I should defend the people of my country. So many young citizen, who are just growing up, lives are at stake. Their lives could change depending on how much i give in to defend my country.
Quoting from Amos "I find that what Bryan says is partially untrue. People have their point of view on how the fare their parents with their family"
I agree with Amos. Peoples point of view and their opinions should be respected all the time. Some may have grown up more closely with their friends. Putting your parents as the first priority is alright but that does not mean you cannot defend your friends too. If it was me, I would try very hard to defend both of them, but when it matters most, I would choose my parents.

1. What do you hold most dear in life such that you would strive to protect and defend in times of threat or crisis?
2. For the above question, state three different aspects and include in your responses, why you think these specific aspects are important to you.
1. I would Defend my Family, Friends
and My Own Life.
2. I would defend my Family because they are the people, who have given me support in what I do everyday. They are the people who brought me up to be who I am, without them, there wouldn't be me. Thus, I would protect them as a Thanks for bringing me up and supporting me whenever I need it.
I would protect my friends because there are the people who accompany me and spend time and support me just like my own family. They are the people who help in work and many other things. I would be lonely without them and thus I would protect them.
I would protect my own life if I am unable to protect the my family and my friends because they are the people who give me the support and help me develop in life. I can't let them down by surrendering my life because I have lost my family and friends.
Quoting from Bryan Chai:
2iii) I will protect my Religion and my God because He has given me EVERYTHING, My Family, Friends and Country. It is all thanks to Him that I am still alive and well. I will protect my view of Him and of my Religion, and I will protect my Faith in Him just as He has EVERLASTING Faith in me. It is also because of his AMAZING Love, Grace and Forgiveness that still spurs me on.
----- You can protect your religion, but it is not you who protect your God, but it is your God who is protecting you, in life everything there is a purpose even if you lose your family or friends there must be a purpose in it, but there is one thing you got to trust in is your own God which I agree with you one protecting your faith in him.

Quoting From Bryan:"Family is way more important then friends. Hence, you must change your point of view."

Commenting on Xin Kai's post
Xin Kai's answer of first part of question 2:"My family, without them teaching me and helping me I could and would not get to where I am so it is important to return the favour and help them back"
I totally disagree with the later part of his answer in which you said that "so it is important to return the favour to help them back"
First of all, You owe your parents a living for bringing you up, for providing food, good education and love to you. You don't "return a favour" to your family, you only return favours to your friends. It is important that you realise that Family is way more important then friends. Hence, you must change your point of view.

What Will I Defend
Hi, I am Bryan Chai Jia Hao from 2 Dominic Register No. 8
1. What do you hold most dear in life such that you would strive to protect and defend in times of threat or crisis?
Answer:
There are 3 particular things I hold which are very important to me. My Country, My Family & Friends and My God. For these 3 things, I would go to any and every extend to protect what is dear to me. If not, in my opinion, I would have betrayed them.
2. For the above question, state three different aspects and include in your responses, why you think these specific aspects are important to you.
Answer:
2i) I will protect my country, Singapore, because you must always remember your roots wherever you go. My roots are in Singapore, I grow, I learn and I am nourished in this land therefore, I owe Singapore my Loyalty and my Life.
2ii) I will protect my Family and Friends because they have supported and encouraged me when I am weak, stand by me when I am alone and prevent me from falling, they care for me and they love me. I will protect them because without them, I would not be where I am today.
2iii) I will protect my Religion and my God because He has given me EVERYTHING, My Family, Friends and Country. It is all thanks to Him that I am still alive and well. I will protect my view of Him and of my Religion, and I will protect my Faith in Him just as He has EVERLASTING Faith in me. It is also because of his AMAZING Love, Grace and Forgiveness that still spurs me on.

I agree with Xinkai too. If it would be me, I would also protect my family because they had brought me up, in education food or in anyway. I would protect Singapore as it is my home and if Singapore would be gone, where would i stay! I would also protect the bank if anyone tries to rob it or something as inside there is my money.

I agree with Xin Kai, protecting your family members is important, its true that without them you are not what you are today.
1) I would protect my family members, friends and my house as that are important to me
2) My family members and friends had gone through thick and thin with me and I feel that protecting them come first as if they didn't exist, I would not be where I am today, I must protect my house as it is extremely important because my parents had put in a lot of effort in buying and renovating the house. If it were to be destroyed, I'm sure they would be sad and disappointed

What will you defend
1)I would choose to protect my family then in turn would lead to protecting Singapore so to protect my family I would have to protect Singapore and that is what i will defend
2)
i)My family, without them teaching me and helping me I could and would not get to where I am so it is important to return the favour and help them back
ii)My school, they hold memories, many different types of memories and that is where i spend years of my life there and they also taught me to be where i am now so it is definitely important
iii)Singapore, is where i stayed for my whole life and have never left it for more than 2 months. It has also nurtured and protected me so that is why it is very important to protect Singapore
Bryan's post- First of all, You owe your parents a living for bringing you up, for providing food, good education and love to you. You don't "return a favour" to your family, you only return favours to your friends. It is important that you realise that Family is way more important then friends. Hence, you must change your point of view.
Different people have different views. I just find a motivation and reason to try and best and get a good job to give money to my parents and let them enjoy life. I can also spend more time with them. And you cant just force someone to change their point of view to suit yours. If someone could there would be no conflicts or wars and hence different people's views are different.
