        I said no, just because there wasn't an abstain option and I in reality have no opinion.....

        Of course it is my democratic obligation to vote, else what is the point of a Democracy.

                  The Lyrics of the Chinese National Anthem :

                  Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves;
                  With our very flesh and blood
                  Let us build our new Great Wall!
                  The Peoples of China are in the most critical time,
                  Everybody must roar his defiance.
                  Arise! Arise! Arise!
                  Millions of hearts with one mind,
                  Brave the enemy's gunfire,
                  March on!
                  Brave the enemy's gunfire,
                  March on! March on! March on, on!



                  The words for the national anthem were written by Tian Han, and the music was set by Nie Er in 1935. Originally known as the March of the Volunteers, it was the theme song of The Sons and Daughters in Times of Turmoil, a film that depicted how Chinese intellectuals marched bravely to the front in the War of Resistance Against Japan during the Second World War.

                  Sonorous, militant and inspiring, the song describes the wrath of the Chinese people against imperialist aggression and their determination to protect their motherland against foreign, invaders. During the Second World War it was also sung by people of other countries who sympathized with the Chinese people in their anti-Japanese struggle. In 1949 it was appropriately chosen to be the national anthem of the People's Republic of China.

                    Egypt Anthem

                    My homeland, my homeland, my hallowed land,
                    Only to you, is my due hearty love at command,
                    My homeland, my homeland, my hallowed land,
                    Only to you is my due hearty love at command,
                    Mother of the great ancient land,
                    My sacred wish and holy demand,
                    All should love, awe and cherish thee,
                    Gracious is thy Nile to humanity,
                    No evil hand can harm or do you wrong,
                    So long as your free sons are strong,
                    My homeland, my homeland, my hallowed land,
                    Only to you, is my due hearty love at command.

                      North Korean Anthem

                      Let morning shine on the silver and gold of this land,
                      Three thousand leagues packed with natural wealth.
                      My beautiful fatherland.
                      The glory of a wise people
                      Brought up in a culture brilliant
                      With a history five millennia long.
                      Let us devote our bodies and minds
                      To supporting this Korea for ever.

                      The firm will, bonded with truth,
                      Nest for the spirit of labour,
                      Embracing the atmosphere of Mount Paektu,
                      Will go forth to all the world.
                      The country established by the will of the people,
                      Breasting the raging waves with soaring strength.
                      Let us glorify for ever this Korea,
                      Limitlessly rich and strong.

                        ...Marilah kita bersatu,
                        Majalah Singapura
                        Majalah Singapura

                        That's all I remember of the Singapore anthem, and it's probably wrong.

                        Apolytons all let us rejoyce,
                        For we are young and free,
                        With dark brown soil and weath for toil,
                        Jungle is all we see.
                        Our land abound in bananas,
                        Yellow and bent and sweeeeeet,
                        We'll make the most,
                        Of every post,
                        Apolyton glory!!!

                        (sung to the tune of the Aussie anthem)
                        Victory for Asphinxia!!

                          Millions of hearts with one mind?

                          In my world, I would dream of millions of minds with one heart.
