What will i defend?
I will defend my country because if i do not have a proper country, i would not be able to have home or friends and family to defend.
I will defend my family, my home. My family members are always the one who are with me since the day i was born. I can talk to my family members if i have any problems.
I will defend my true friends. Friends would share my troubles and problems with me so that i would not be alone facing the problems that i have.
I agree with Marvin, as family is the thing that everyone would protect and like he said, without them, we would not be able to do what i am now lead such a life !

What will I defend?
I will defend my country, because I'm kind of a patriot and I love my country. And without my country, I wouldn't have a home or friends and family to defend.
I will defend my home, because I would rather sleep in a bed than the gutter, and I would actually like to sit down to eat breakfast in the morning.
And I will defend my friends and family, because without them I would not have anybody to rely on, and I would be rather lonely.
Also, I agree with Zi Li's post very much. Friends can't be taken for granted, and should be appreciated.

Who Will I Defend
I will choose to protect my family members. There are a few reasons. Firstly, I spend most of my time with my family. When I was young, they always shower me with care and buy lots of toy for me. Secondly, whenever I feel unhappy, I will confide to them and they always listen to me. I share happy and sad moments with them. Thirdly, they are the closest to me and teach me important life values to make me become a better person. They are the ones who correct me when I did something and reward when I did something good. So, I will definitely protect them in times of threat and crisis. Country and friends will come later.
I agree with Yi Song.
Family members will always be with you when you are troubled. They are very important in our lives as they guide us and motivate us, helping us to become a better person.

What Will I Defend? By Jeremy Teo
What will you defend.
I will defend my country. It is because without a country, there will not be a place where my family can live and that would mean that my family would need the country to survive. Having live in this place for so long, i could understand that this is my where my home is and i could not leave it. I believe that my parents would feel so as well.
Who will i defend?
Protecting my country is like protecting everyone living in that country. Including my family, friends and everybody living in Singapore. I would strive to protect and defend Singapore in times of threat or crisis.
2)I agree with Jeremy that we should defend, first of all, our family and relatives, as they are what means most to me. Because they have been with me all my life, and i care for them a lot. They love me as much as i love them, and they are the people that i can share just about anything with. But i must also state that i will still defend my country. Because defending the country means protecting everyone who lives there. Including all my family, relatives and friends.

I would protect my precious loved family members, faithful friends and my country, Singapore. My precious family members have showered countless amounts of love on me, and would always be there for me, supporting and helping me in my life. My parents has raised me from birth, feeding me with the best food, giving me a comfort and safe zone, and protecting me from dangers. They are willing to spend their hard earned money on me, nuturing me. They teach me values and morals of life, and would forgive me when I am in wrong. They bring me joy, warmth and a comfortable life i enjoy. My faithful friends stand by me, keep me company and gives me happiness. We play together, spend time with one another, and go through many difficulties and achievements together. We complete tough tasks together, share the joy, and go through interesting adventures in life together. My country, Singapore, consists of my beloved family, friends and fellow citizens. My country helped me achieve many things in life, provided me with good education and living conditions. They protect me from threats, and allow me to have a mind of peace, without any worries. I do not have to worry about having not enough food, not being able to attend school or staying on the streets, as Singapore will aid me. I will protect them !
Reply To Pang Ren Zhu Post
What about your precious faithful and nice friends, who stay by your side and go through difficulties with you. What about the times you spent with them, and enjoyed adventures.
What will I defend?
I would probably defend my family. They have watched me grow up and are the closest to me. However, if it is possible, I will try my best to defend my country and my fellow men. I will fight for my country as it has been my home ever since I was born. If I fail to protect my country, I will protect as many people as I can. However, I will also defend myself as I believe everyone would fight for survival in times of crisis.

What i will hold most dear in life and protect and defend in times of threat or crisis?
What will I Defend?
What will I Defend?
Many people say that in the event of a crisis, they would defend their family, loved ones and such. However, in reality, some would rather selfishly defend themselves even if their loved ones were in a difficult situation. I, myself, also feel that way, and such, I will defend myself, anybody that is accompanying me during the crisis, and (if possible) my family.
Why do I say that defending yourself is important? That is because, if you care much about others around you, you will neglect yourself, and that would be harming yourself. Although your loved ones are happy to see that you want to defend them during the crisis, they would be able to see that you are hurting yourself in the process, thus worrying more. In a worse situation, you could overstress yourself which can lead to illness, and which other people would have to take care of you, which causes even more stress to the people. So, in order not to add on to the burden of my loved ones, I would firstly take care of myself, and if I am capable, then help the people around me.
Treating the people who are following you during the crisis is also important, as they are able to encourage you whenever you feel like giving up. This motivation is needed during a crisis so that people will not succumb to suicide to end the misery. If disputes happen, it will cause a extra weight of stress onto the survivor which will lead to illness and such.
Of course family is the main priority of a person as it is the main source of comfort and peace. However, many fail to defend it. At the start, people are determined to protect their family no matter what the costs are, but, at the critical moment, they will panic and defend themselves instead of his/her weak family. In my point of view, family is the most important thing to protect, and it is also the hardest to protect. It is also the main source of motivation (other than the other people accompanying you during the crisis) and could really boost your confidence in surviving. Saying, "I will definitely defend my parents, friends and country" is pretty easy, but is doing it the same?
Response to Bosco's post:
You said that, "There is actually not much choice of defending who you want because we are all boys and if war broke out all of us have to go to war and protect the country and its people so there is not much choice for us to make." But in actual fact, some people, who are cowards, run away on the battlefield to defend themselves rather than the country. This is a choice that they made, which is to defend themselves rather than the country.
What will i defend?
I will defend my family, relatives and my friends.
Firstly, I would defend my family, as they are always the one who are with me since I was born. They are the ones that are always supporting me and encouraging me. They made a very huge impact on my life. My parents are the ones that raised me up while my siblings bring joy to me.
Secondly, I would defend my friends. They care for me and I would share my problems with them. They would try their best to help me and they are always there when you need help. They also bring joy to me.
Finally, I would defend my relatives as they are those who are surrounding me and they are part of the family.
Comment on Wai Qun’s post:
I agree with Wai Qun as if we are not able to defend ourselves, how are we able to defend others. It is also right that we should defend our family as life would be meaningless without them.

What Will You Defend?
I will defend my family, my friends and others who care for me.
My family. They are always there for me to support me and encourage me. To catch me when I fall, to get me back on my feet, to love and care for me. I think family is the most important thing hence I would want to defend them first.
My friends. They would share my troubles and problems and lend me a ear when I need someone to talk to and lend a hand when I need help. I have some really good friends who I confide in and I’m sure I’ll need them in the future.
Others who care for me. Perhaps my relatives or people I might not know who care for me it might be the world it might be just one but I’m still going to defend them.PS This account belongs to Gerald Lau 2A 17, who is posting on behalf of Brendan as his GMail account has a problem

There is actually not much choice of defending who you want because we are all boys and if war broke out all of us have to go to war and protect the country and its people so there is not much choice for us to make. In the end I still want to protect my friends, family and country cause this are the essential things in life that make me feel comfortable cause i cannot imagine myself going to school without laughter and going back to a house without anyone.
Reply to Gavin's post
I agree that without friends or family life would not be as nice as it is now, without them I would feel lonely all the day and everyday and no one can help me with my maths problems.
What will i defend....
My friends had also supported me and help me when I am in need. The bond I have between some of my friends are as close as brothers, therefore I wil protect them.
The country is the one which I had been brought up in and educated. I must be loyal to the country and defend it when in crisis.

Response to Marvin's post
I agree that family is most important as they have led you and raised you throughout your your life and without them life would be much harder then it would be at the time of crisis.
What will I defend ?
I would definitely defend my family and if possible, my closest friends. Life without family or friends would be very dull and maybe pointless as they are the people who make life fun and enjoyable. Our family are the people who lead you and friends are the people who make life exciting outside when you are away from your family. Both groups are as important to me.
What Will I Defend?
I will defend my family members, relatives and friends. These are the people that i mean the most to me. These are the people that i need support from before i grow up to be an adult. Without these people, my life would be joyless, unhappy and lonely. But of course, if i could, i would also protect my neighbours, and people living in my estate too. These people also deserve to be protected because they are my surroundings.
Comment on Ming Xuan's point of view:
I strongly agree with Ming Xuan. Everyone has a family, and our families are the ones that affect our lives the most. Our family members are the ones that are with us the whole of our lives and even though they will leave us in the future, we should cherish every second with them when they are alive. Our families are the ones that are supporting us when we are not independent yet. When we become independent when the are alive, it is our priority to protect them and support them like how they support us when we were young. So all of us should become independent as quick as possible so we can repay our family members by taking care and protecting them.

Although our top priority is to protect our family and friends, I believe that we should not only protect them but protect the citizens of Singapore. Singapore is not only made up my family and friends. We cannot be too selfish to think only about ourselves but the welfare of everyone in Singapore. That is how we should lead our lives in the first place. Yes, of course, family and friends mean everything to you and defending them is what we all should and will do but if the citizens of Singapore all could protect one another, that is the best solution all of us would be looking for in times of crisis. Our country is too small to let us only care about our families and friends. We have a small, growing population and therefore we should all protect each other to ensure our growing population to turn into a big one.
Comment on Justin point of View:
I believe Justin made a lot of sense when he said that he had to protect himself, not out of selfishness but for the sake of his family and friends so that he can protect them, especially his younger siblings. Protecting people dear to you would definitely be the option everyone would take.
What do I hold most dear in life such that I would strive to protect and defend in times of threat or crisis?
I am Ng Ming Xuan(25), from Secondary 2 Aloysius.
I will agree with Farhan’s post on the issue that ‘friends bring joy to one’s life, supporting us when we are down’. Friends are the ones that we often hang out with, talk about our special interests, sharing fashionable items, gather for a outing to explore new things and to confide in with some issues that we might feel uncomfortable telling our parents. Friends are requisite to us as they too, does not make us feel rejected and are out there to reach out to us.
What will I hold most dear in life that I would strive to protect in times of threat and crisis? It will be my family. They made a strong impact on my life. They love and care for me in their own ways and always being there whenever I faced difficulties, not letting me feel despair. The experiences and moral values that they share with me, prevent me from going astray, makes me unique and be an upright person. The period of time that they brought me up is not effortless as well. Thus, I will protect my family well-being and treasure what I have with them.
What Will I Defend?
Of course if you were to ask me what i would defend, it would most likely be my family and the people who are close to me but as far as possible, i would most certainly want to protect my country as it is where i am living in right now and where i was born in too. Protecting family and friends would be the least i could defend as they are the people i love and my parents are the ones who brought me up and into this world.

1. What do you hold most dear in life such that you would strive to protect and defend in times of threat or crisis?
Firstly, I will defend myself first if not I will not be able to defend others. Next, I will defend my family. They were the one who raised me and provide me with happiness and joy through my childhood. They will bring me to the doctor when I am ill. They will be there for me when problems and burdens are piling up and share it with me. Lastly, I will defend my friends. We work together, play with one another, and talk to each other. In times of crisis, my friends will be there to lend me a hand, comfort me and encouraged me. In a nutshell, I will strive to protect and defend what I cherish. I will not think so far as to defend the country because I do not have this kind of ability at this point in time.
2. For the above question, state three different aspects and include in your responses, why you think these specific aspects are important to you.
Reply to Matthew Kwok’s Blog Entry: I agree with Matthew that we should protect our family and friends. That is because they are the only people whom we can trust fully so we can tell them the things that are bothering us without any reservations but some things are not suitable to share with our friends.
WHAT WILL I DEFEND
I agree that family is important and worth protecting as we grew up with them till maturity meaning that the Family bonds between them and us are a link to our beginning and a guide to our future as they will guide you to the correct path and not go astray to the path of condemnation
A sense of belonging is derived from the strong bond of family. The roots are planted deeply as we have the strong bonds that connects all of us together

I will protect my family and friends.
We can always trust our family members. When we have a trouble and we need some help, we will turn to our family members.
Friends make life fun and interesting and they also provide support and advice when we need it. Receiving support from a friend makes us feel like we have someone there for us.
Comment of Sean's post:
Family bonds are a link to our beginning and a guide to our future. Early influences are fundamental to our individual development.
We all want to "belong" and feel accepted. A sense of belonging is derived from the strong bond of family. Family is where our roots take hold and from there we grow.
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 like to discuss about Bryan's view.
I would, to a larger extent, agree with him because family and loved ones of a person means a lot to the person. Without them, the person will be very lonely, if he does not have friends.
However, to a smaller extent, I disagree with him because we cannot just throw our country's and community's safety. As the Singapore Pledge states 'to build a democratic society, based on justice and equality'. This shows that we have to treat everyone equally.
In times of crises, I would hold my country, my fellow Singaporeans and the Singapore government. I will also defend my family and loved ones if possible. This is due to the fact that Singapore has given us so much benefits such as a good education, opportunities to learn, safety and security and even her life. We have to repay our benefactors and have to defend our country in times of crises. We cannot depend on others, just as Singapore cannot depend on the British during World War II against Japan. Therefore, we must defend our country, our people and the government in times of crises.

What do you hold most dear in life such that you would strive to protect and defend in times of threat or crisis?
To me, the first thing that hold most dear in my life such that i would strive to protect and defend in times of threat or crisis is my family. These are the few aspects: Firstly, I love my family and i would not want anyone in my family to get hurt. Secondly, my family would show concern to me and they would use various ways to express their love for me, and this is the type of love that is priceless. Therefore, i can use my love to repay them. Thirdly, it is due to the fact that they are the closest to me and we would trust them no matter what. Family members like our members would also impart life skills to us to make us a better person. They are the one who will give you mental and physical support and they would be behind us no matter what happens. Country and friends would come later.
Reply to Matthew's Post:
I agree with Matthew about defending his family. However, i do not agree with one of the aspects: "who else if not they buy you this and help you survive." I think they are the one's who would give us support. They are the one's who love us and their love for us will never change. They would also teach us life skills on how to be a better person in future. No parent's would want their children to grow up to be a bad person. Therefore i do not think that they help us to survive.
