Many of us Singaporeans go through life like we're on a conveyor belt. We address daily issues that we are expected to and take them on as our responsibilities. Unfortunately, little do we realise that these are just the micro responsibilities of our lives. Imagine the many things around us which we take for granted. We conveniently ignore the macro responsibilities like helping those in need, promoting social and family values and looking after the environment we live in. We tend to assume such responsibilities are that of Volunteer Welfare Organisations, Self-Help Groups and of course, the government.

It is important to realise the need to take on macro responsibilities and to make a collective effort to look after our fellow Singaporeans and to upkeep the environment that we live in. I wish all Happy Earth Day (April 22).
