NewsAsia, 20 Jun 05 Showcase your vision for Singapore in video clip By Farah Abdul Rahim SINGAPORE: What's your vision for the future of Singapore? You can air your ideas on Channel NewsAsia. As part of the nation's 40th birthday celebrations, Channel NewsAsia is inviting you to make your own one-minute home-video to showcase your hopes for the nation. Your videos could be aired on Channel NewsAsia. 40 of the best entries will be chosen to make up a special 10-minute programme before National Day. Others will be hosted on a dedicated website so you can view it online. A three-part documentary called "The Singapore I Want" - which will look at the country's future - will also be telecast. To make this a truly national project, very few limits have been imposed on the themes for the entries. Melvin Yong, MediaCorp News executive editor, said: "Let your imagination run wild. It can be people dear to you, what you enjoy doing at work, in school or at your leisure time, anything at all. "What we're going to do with those entries, of course, is to assemble a whole montage of pictures to create a Singapore video, if you like, to show what it's to be a Singaporean, and develop and show the future of Singapore through these pictures. "We hope to assemble a montage of pictures such that we can tell the story of Singapore, the hope and aspirations of the people for this place they call home." For 20-year-old student Ng Bao Ying, she sees Singapore as a nation of fun-loving people. For instance, Singaporeans donning dive suits, having supper at one of Singapore's favourite haunts, or relaxing at home with a game of pool. She said: "Singaporeans tend to take a very serious attitude towards life. It's sometimes good to relax and the video serves as a reminder to Singaporeans that we need to have fun once in a while. As much as we want to work hard, we need to play hard as well." She spent a day filming her vision for Singapore. To take part, simply log onto http://www.channelnewsasia.com/nationalday/sgiwant.htm and print out the entry form. You can send in your vision for Singapore on videotape, VCD, DVD or even on a mini-DV tape. It can be in any of the four major languages - English, Chinese, Malay or Tamil. You can also send in as many entries as you like. - CNA/ir links Related articles on Singapore: general environmental issues |
