Shared Values

Loh Chee Keong wrote in his article "In Search of the Singapore Soul" in Today paper (28 July):

Quote: In 1991, a national committee headed by Lee Hsien Loong, presented five shared values after an extensive study. I doubt many even remember that initiative, let alone what those values were. Unquote.

I searched the internet and found these values to be:

* Nation before community and society before self
* Family as the basic unit of society
* Community support and respect for the individual
* Consensus, not conflict
* Racial and religious harmony
