A STOMPer feels that it is a waste of time for his school to make students sing the national anthem over and over again, saying that they are there to study and not spend 30 minutes at the assembly.

The STOMPer, who is from Serangoon Gardens Secondary, sent in a video showing students from the school being told to sing the national anthem repeatedly.

The student said:

"Making us sing the national anthem over and over again will not make us any better, you are wasting our time."

"We have N' levels, O' levels -- you would rather us spend 10 to 15 minutes singing till we get it right?"

He says the students would rather move on to their first lesson instead of cutting out time from it.

Adds the STOMPer:

"Personally, I hate singing in the morning, I only sang the national anthem once...the subsequent ones I ignored."

"Repeating the song won't make us love country more, it makes us 'hate' the national anthem more (not hate as in...yeah...I mean like, super annoyed? I mean come on! You like to be 'forced' to sing it three to four times in the morning?)"

The STOMPer went on to say that although he loves Singapore, he hopes this routine, which had been going on for days, would stop.

Hahaha ! Must go see the video, although its kinda long ): Looks like one of our schoolmates took a video about it . Singing the anthem again and again .

Truthfully, i dont really mind singing over and over again. I understand that the school wants us to sing it LOUD & CLEAR, to show respect to our country .

We, student must suffer x.x sad sad . No choice .
