By Jalelah Abu Baker, The Straits Times, 12 Jan 2015

POSTAL services company SingPost will print 12 special slogans on letter mail here to commemorate Singapore's 50th year as an independent nation.

They will be accompanied by illustrations designed to celebrate all things Singapore and Singaporean. 

The slogans include "We Love Eating" and "We Love Shopping", and will run from the 15th to the last day of each month.

The illustrations feature hearts, smiles and the SG50 logo.

"The heart expresses our love for Singapore. The SG50 logo indicates that it is our nation's 50th birthday, while the smile shows that it is a joyous celebration," said stamp designer Wong Wui Kong, who created the illustrations.

Said senior executive vice-president and head of postal services Woo Keng Leong: "Singaporeans are a very passionate people. We love our country, and we treasure our multiracial and multicultural heritage, which can be seen in our daily interactions and festive celebrations."

He added in a media release yesterday: "These special slogans are a great way to highlight the essence of being Singaporean.

"As we come together this year to celebrate our nation's 50th birthday, they will be a good reminder that we all have a part to play in making Singapore our home and shaping its future."
