Last week, I read about an app that would help would-be Singaporeans pass their Singapore Citizenship Journey, which is a mandatory orientation programme for citizenship applicants. It involves an online quiz. Here are some sample questions:
1) When was the Singapore Tourism Board established?
2) On which date did Singapore introduce a Goods and Services Tax (GST) to increase the strength of its economy?
3) Who was Singapore's first Prime Minister?
4) Which MRT stations in Singapore took part in Exercise Northstar V?
5) The Bukit Timah peak is Singapore's natural highest point. Can you guess its height?
6) The outbreak of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome affected Singapore in which year?
7) What is Singapore's mean annual temperature?
8) What language is the medium of instruction in Singapore schools?
9) What is the name of Singapore's international airport?
10) By what other name is Singapore known as?
Even though I am a Singaporean, I couldn't answer all of them. I got questions 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7 wrong. 5/10! What's your score? The answers are below.
