What Had Happened... on 20th Feburary 2003 at National Youth Park

A man of peace is not a pacifist; a man of peace is simply a pool of silence.
He pulsates a new kind of energy into the world, he sings a new kind of song.
He lives in a totally new way, his very way of life is that of grace, that of prayer, that of compassion.
Whomever he touches, he creates more love-energy.
The man of peace is creative.

He is not against war, because to be against any thing is to be at war.
He is not against war; he simply understands why war exists.
And out of that understanding he becomes peaceful.
Only when there are many people who are pools of peace, silence, and
understanding, will war disappear.


"On War" by Osho, from Zen: The Path of Paradox, vol II

I would like everyone to know that when my daughter and I marked World Harmony Day on 20th February 2002, we read it as a calling from the spiritual power. Are we the spiritual seekers? I really don’t have the answer except to be very honest with you that my heart was crying out loud for humanity. The house is on fire I just got to put it off! In short, I was not seeking for anything but I just could not accept that to get one man, America government got to bomb the whole country and bring the whole world down. If Sept 11 was an insane act, this bombing of Iraq was more insane then ever as it destroyed the structure of the world law and order besides destabilizing the whole world security and economy. I did WHD to appease my soul and not to challenge anybody. When I leave this world only my true partner who is my soul will follow me, this mean when my soul is not happy then my physical self will be affected too.

When we embarked on the second WHD, we did not begin with very high hopes, we had no experience of holding such a big event, but our spirits came together and it is overwhelmingly astounding. People from just about everywhere are getting together solely because they like the notion of a World Harmony Spirit. I feel a family is born out of genuine togetherness and this gave us the confidence and courage to move on to create the amazing momentum we all witnessed that night.

20th February 2003 is a very special day for Humanity and especially for my daughter Greta and I. It should be a very happy day as we were the founders of WHD, but unfortunately it was a very sad day for both of us, as our souls were crying out loud but no one heard us. Usually proposals such as this come from the West and we from the Southeast Asia would just follow suit. This time around, the initiative comes from Singapore itself, so Greta and I thought the authority would appreciate our effort. Instead, the authority misunderstood our good intentions for WHD.

What disturbed me most was my realization that after the event of WHD, even the members are confused of WHD objectives. I supposed some of them have not thoroughly gone through the website vigilantly and read all the information there.

Please do take some time to read the important story of how WHD 200220022002 came about. It is very essential to understand how WHD started, as it is very disturbing in some aspects that some do not have any ideas how WHD started and chose to create their own separate understandings of our beginning. For example, planting a tree on WHD or just focusing on motivation education for the children, so on and so fore.

If the world is so peaceful, why are we doing WHD? WHD is to create awareness that if we want the future world to be ruled with love instead of fear, then we must be proactive and make the change in our own mindset that we can make a difference.

Therefore, WHD came about because the world is NOT in Harmony and my conscience propelled us to take action. WHD was born out of necessity because there is an urgent needs to create an awareness and understanding that we have only ONE World as our home, so please learn how to share this world by caring and loving humanity so peace and harmony could prevail.

In short, WHD is about asking us all to have "the new consciousness". If it is not, then why did the Inter Religious Organization and the Artist communities felt compelled to host such an event in Suntec City and at the Substation respectively, after hearing about our event at the Orchard Youth Park?

Let me take this opportunity to share with everyone the “World Harmony Day” declaration.

1) To remind everyone to have Consciousness for the World Trade Center incident. It is a great awakening for Humanity, which compels us all to take responsibility, and play a part each day in bringing peace and harmony back for the sake of children in the present and of the future.

2) To promise ourselves that on this day forward 20th February 2002 at 20:02, no more violence should be use to resolve conflicts.

3) It is our utmost duty and responsibility to remind the future generations not to take peace for granted. If PEACE is what they want, they must be proactive in shaping the future world not only for themselves but more so for their children’s children.

World Harmony Day is not a new religious organization it embraces common themes found in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism as well as many, many others. Love and empathy, peace and tolerance liberate: all citizens of the world, as they are all forms of the diverse range of people participating in WHD.

It is a movement that embraces Peace Harmony and Unity at its core. Anti–violence and seeks peace. WHD is a spiritual movement of the consciousness, which brings the world into oneness. It emphasizes is on valuing human lives, cultivating good human relations and respecting human rights. WHD is calling us to be humane.

It is a movement, which helps one to find their place in spending time proactively helping others. This makes our existence more relevant and contributing to the Bigger picture in our lives and helps others.

Proper actions and decisions made by this current generation will help to set the next generation up for better times to help deal with Peace keeping. If it is not contained then other chain reactions like hunger, disease, poverty, refugees and degeneration of our environment, will need to be addressed.

World Harmony Day’s “Seekers of truth, peace & harmony” are people from all over the world who believe common citizens working together can and will make a profound difference. The true spirit of WHD is in bringing all the citizens of the world together in Oneness. In short, WHD goal is to plant “seed of peace”, to bring Harmony to the world.

WHD is still at an infancy stage; maybe many of you are not clear but with time I believed we would all agree to uphold the declaration of WHD. WHD is for everyone...man, women, young and old...the human race.

I hope after reading the website www.worldharmonyday.com that you will support our cause and help us in whatever way you can in order to further our mission and help bring the world back into balance in our troubled world. All WHD asks is for people wherever they are to remember this day of Consciousness, 20th February at 20:02 and to annually observe a 2 minutes Peace Silence.

From the bottom of our hearts, I would like to take this opportunity to thanks all that have attended World Harmony Day 2003 at the National Youth Park and spared 2 minutes to help celebrate humanity with all of us in an attempt to restore harmony and balance in our beautiful world. Last but not lease, I hope all of you will remember that “we do not inherit this earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children” – Haida Indian Saying. Therefore, the least we could do for them and their children is to keep this world save for them.
