A Facebook post by Sujatha Selvakumar shared her own experience as the child of migrant parents.

Sujatha s father migrated to Singapore in 1979, and the family was later granted citizenship in 1994.
However, she had long considered Singapore her home, even before her family became naturalised citizens.
She recalled, I remember this day because I thought it was so odd that my parents got me dressed and we went to a special place to recite the pledge and sing the Majulah Singapura, something I already did every day in school. The only national Anthem I know how to sing. I didn’t understand its significance till much later.
