1. Why is it important for the government to make friends with other countries?

# data[].attributes.body
You have learnt that in a representative democracy such as Singapore;

(i) Citizens elect representatives to form a government to make decisions on their behalf. However, a government in a representative democracy does not have unlimited power to make decisions. It is required to act according to the country’s constitution.

(ii) For citizens to have trust in the government, it is important that elections are free and fair. The different features in the electoral process help to ensure this.

(iii) Citizens also play an important role as they exercise their responsibility of voting to elect representatives who can represent their concerns.

It is important for the government to make friends with other countries because it will prevent hostile aggression from happening in Singapore. Not only that, the government will learn how to learn new languages and interact with other governments in different languages. The government will also learn more valuable cultural exchanges and having friends from all over the world can give a better understanding of the world the Singapore citizens live in.
