Why is Singapore called the Little Red Dot?


This week, when we read the first issue of the Little Red Dot in class, we wondered about the name of the newspaper and asked our teacher what it meant.

"It refers to Singapore," she told us.

We were so curious that we decided to do some research and find out how Singapore got this name.

We found out that a president in another country called Singapore a little red dot in 1998 because that's how small we look like on the world map.

However, we think that though we are a small country, we have done many things and we must keep continue working hard to ensure our future progress as a nation!

My friends and I feel proud of this country we live in, and we really look forward to reading the articles inside the Little Red Dot newspaper because it helps us to find out about ourselves as well as the world around us!
