Abstract
Our National Pledge, taken daily in school and every National Day, is a passionate vow against intolerance of race, language or religion, in pursuit of the common good. It is a covenant to keep, individually and communally. It is a reminder that chauvinistic behaviour is forbidden. To support our avowed aspiration, we have legal and social protocols such as those against sedition.
