You can choose what environment you think can best help you to thrive.
What shall it be?

Hi, we have you looked over your records and just want to have a quick chat to find out more about you.
I hear that you have just been retrenched from your job as a data analyst for a Chinese social media aggregator.
<<button [[Yea, but one's worth should be more than grades, a payslip or a degree.|KPO2]]>><</button>><br>
<<button [[What can I do? Our jobs have become mechanized after disruption set in.|KPO2]]>><</button>>
<br><br>
You continue your shifts as a KayPO. You learn your lesson from your first task, giving credit to people as long as they appear to be kind.
Don't ask too many questions, your superior says, for it is all for the greater good!

Your one-month appraisal period has come up. The KayPO chief summons you to her office and smiles at you. You have been fair, neutral, objective. You have helped to bring back the community spirit in your assigned districts by enforcing a strong code of Kindness and graciousness.
"We will like to offer you a five-year contract, which allows you to claim half of your annual CC benefits upfront. Will you say yes?" the chief asks beseechingly.

<center><h2>NATIONAL KINDNESS ACT PASSED</h2>
APRIL 11, 2050<br>
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-04.png" class="responsive" width>
</center>
<b>Dear Citizen</b>,
The dearth of kindness in Singapore has undermined Singapore’s ability to sustain meaningful diplomatic relations with our counterparts and generated considerable national security risks.
Following a six-month public consultation and robust discussions in Parliament, the Government of Singapore has passed the National Kindness Act, an all-encompassing policy framework.
Announcing the launch of the Act in Parliament yesterday, Prime Minister Wong Hup Cheong said that the move signals a "new social contract" between the Government and its people that can "herald a new age of participatory policymaking for Singapore".
You have a part to play in the National Kindness Act under this new social contract.
<<button [[Tell me more!|Social Contract]]>><</button>> <<button [[What?]]>><</button>>
<br><br>Attention!
Under the National Kindness Act, the following announcement applies to you.
<h3>Values in Action scheme</h3>
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
The 50-year-old Values in Action scheme of community work and service in school will be reviewed, and will become a mandatory scheme.
To reinforce the Government's commitment to Kindness, VIA work will now account for 50 % of the weightage at national exams. A fail mark in the VIA component will render one ineligible for graduation from school.
<<button [[Okay, I got it|Normal 2]]>><</button>> <<button [[What nonsense is this. I don't care|Warning]]>><</button>>
<br><br><h5>Welcome to the Singapore Institution!</h5>
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-Student-12.png" class="responsive">
For years and years our school has prided itself on producing the nation's finest leaders.
Given our strong track record, we have had the opportunity of being an Affiliated Kindness School. Congratulations of being selected for this elite programme!
The school's brand-new Kindness curriculum, designed in consultation with in-house pedagogical experts, will ensure that you and your peers will be given the best exposure to Kindness skills that can and will complement the existing slate of programmes targeted at academic and holistic development.
You have two years to enhance your portfolio before it is time to apply to overseas colleges.
What do you want to do?<br>
<<button [[Oooh, let me explore my options|What]]>><</button>><br>
<<button [[I don't think I will fit in|Transfer]]>><</button>><br>
<br><br>
<h5>Kindness Bootcamp</h5>
At Kindness Bootcamp, you will be able to rub shoulders with students from all over Singapore and learn from their Kindness experiences in school - a rare opportunity to improve your Kindness capital (something that you and your peers seem to sorely lacking in).
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
There are different tracks that you can specialise in, and upon completion of the programme, you will be able to receive 500 CCs for your efforts!
Here are your options:
A: <<button [[Diversity track]]>><</button>> - Learn to bridge tensions between groups with opposing views, and create a harmonious and tolerant society at home and abroad!
B: <<button [[Social entreprise track]]>><</button>> - Do you have a head for business? Would you want to do good and get rich at the same time?
C: <<button [[Digital track]]>><</button>> - Become practiced in the art of controlling unsavoury flame wars, combating Internet trolls or online falsehoods, endeavouring towards creating a healthier cyber-environment for all!
<br><br>On Saturday morning, you arrive at the old folks' home with your class, only to be greeted by an unsmiling centre superintendent. She looks wanly at your teacher and classmates.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-Student-13.png" class="responsive">
"What, yet another school visit? You are the 10th group from the neighbourhood that we had to host this week. The residents are sick of hearing the same damn song, and being pestered by kids who don't even understand the language that they speak."
What do you do?
<<button [[Please, let us take part|Home 2]]>><</button>>
<<button [[Do I really have a choice?|Home 2]]>><</button>>
<br><br><br>During your school break, you travel to an obscure corner of Africa, where you and your friends teach orphans English and build schools. You cringe at the nasty food, lack of shower amenities and half-baked facilities of the village, and think about what good policies your country has compared to these under-developed parts of the world.
You're required to update your social media account as proof of the good work you are doing.
You post photos of yourself hugging the orphans (they get more than 1000 likes!), crying when you visit them in hospital, and write about how this once-in-a-lifetime experience has humbled you.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-Student-12.png" class="responsive">
After six long months, your kindness experience is over!
<<button [[Congratulations, claim your credit!|Complete]]>><</button>>
It is Monday and your eyes are bleary with sleep. You are trundling on the Circle Line, making your way to work for the 9am shift.
You spot a pregnant lady coming from the corner. A Kindness Patrol Officer has arrived.

What do you do?
<<button [[Stay where you are|Stay]]>><</button>> <<button [[Give up your seat|Give up]]>><</button>>
<br><br><br>You've just finished your breakfast at a hawker centre, after observing the guidelines of the Anti-Choping Movement by resisting the urge to save a seat while you queue for food.

The nearest tray return station is a good 400m walk away. What do you do?

<br><br><h3>CALL FOR DIVERSITY INFLUENCERS</h3>
As part of a national initiative to encourage inter-cultural and inter-racial mixing, we will like members of the public like you to act as role models for your immediate circle of influence.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-08.png" class="responsive">
Having such diverse representation in authentic settings like citizens' social media feeds may also help to enhance impressions of the country as a cultural melting pot to our foreign dignitaries.
Simply post a photo of yourself with at least one friend of another race to earn 50 Courtesy Credits under the hashtag <b>#SGHarmony</b>. You can also trade ethnic outfits to get bonus points! Each individual of a unique race who is featured in the photograph earns you another additional 50 CCs.

<br><br><br>You stand up and leave your seat, but a commotion breaks out. You get elbowed in the stomach. Someone else pulls at your hair. You realise that everyone else has vacated their seat and is beckoning at the lady to take their own.
The lady hovers, uncertain about where to go. Suddenly, she ends up at your seat. The KayPO passes by.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-07.png" class="responsive">
"How nice of you, to give your seat up to our fellow vulnerable citizen! You are indeed setting an example for every commuter in this train. Here are some CCs for you!"
Everyone else shoots you a dirty look. You shrug, smiling awkwardly at the pregnant lady.
<<button [[Collect your credits here|Claim credit]]>><</button>>
<br><br>You hear a commotion and jerk up from your half-slumbered state.
You look up, incredulous. All 10 occupied seats in the carriage are suddenly empty except for yours; all eyes are on you. The pregnant lady ambles slowly, smiling wanly at everyone. "Thank you, thank you, you are far too kind."
No one responds to her. The KayPO moves up and down the carriage, acknowledging everyone's deed with a nod of his head.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-07.png" class="responsive">
The KayPO comes up to you. "Minus 20 CCs for you for not taking the initiative to look out for your fellow citizen."
<<button [[What, why?|why]]>><</button>><br>
<<button [[Sorry, I will try harder to be Kind|part]]>><</button>>
<br><br>Oops.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
Unfortunately, it's the first weekend of the launch of the Kindness Act and everyone has showed up at the hawker centre in droves to play their part, just like you.
There's a 2-metre high tower of trays and a 300m queue to return your tray. The tower of trays looks dangerously close to teetering over.
What do you do?
<<button [[Add your tray to the returned stack|Return tray]]>><</button>><br>
<<button [[Walk up to the cleaner to pass him your tray instead|cleaner]]>><</button>><br>
<<button [[Leave]]>><</button>><br>
<br><br>After waiting for 10 minutes it's finally your turn at the tray tower!
You gingerly add your tray to the wobbling tower.
You turn to leave, but you hear a huge clatter as you exit.
The whole tower has collapsed. The cleaner walks over, looking mournfully at the pile of chopsticks, spoons, bowls and spilled soups and sauces.
It's going to be a long day at work for her.
<<button [[Claim credit]]>><</button>>
<br><br>You knock head-first into a Kindness Patrol Officer on your way out.

<br><br><h3>Woohoo! 200 more CC for you.</h3>
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-09.png" class="responsive">
This entitles you to:
1. Priority for a Michelin-starred hawker centre meal
2. Free parking at all CBD lots for three months
3. One extra day of Parental Care Leave
4. Priority admission for polyclinic appointments
<<button [[Back|part]]>><</button>>
<br><br>As a member of the majority race, you really do not have that many friends of other racial backgrounds. But you have gathered together random acquaintances from your neighbourhood just for this special occasion.

<br><br><br>You have been on the KayPO posting for a year now.
You have accummulated 5,000 CCs - just 1,000 more CCs, and you can send your daughter to the Affiliated Kindness School in the next town. In such a good environment, she will never have to worry about finding her place in life!
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-07.png" class="responsive">
One day, you bump into Joe, your best friend from school. You have not seen him in years.
"Hi! Would you like to go for coffee with me?"
<<button [[Yes, why not|Coffee]]>><</button>>
<br><br><br>
The operation takes place a week later.
At night, Joe meets you in a discreet corner of the island, where Kindness CCVTVs have not yet been installed, and where the GPS coordinates of your KayPO device cannot be traced back to your own home.
You log into the portal for him and he sets up a code that muzzles your identity. You see more numbers, line charts, a bit of whirring and beeping. Two more clicks, and the deed is done.
Joe is beyond grateful to you. Before you part ways, he wraps you in a quick hug. "Now you can quit that god-awful KayPO position and be free of the tight reins of the Bureau. Congrats!"
<<button [[Woohoo! Quit your KayPO job now|Quit]]>><</button>>
<br><br><br>
Joe stares at you. "Really? You wouldn't be able to even help a friend out, one tiny bit?"
Joe stands up and starts stalking off.
"Man. You've changed. I've never thought that you would end up like this - you're just an establishment guy."
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-07.png" class="responsive">
<<button [[Sorry man, there's nothing I can do|Istana]]>><</button>>
<br><br>
You answer the phone.
Your ploy with Joe has been uncovered. Your dreams of carving out a better life for you, your wife and your daughter are shattered.

<b>JUNE 17, 2052</b>
<b>FORMER KINDNESS PATROL OFFICER CHARGED WITH CHEATING</b>
A former Kindness Patrol Officer in the Jurong district has been hauled to court and charged for cheating the Kindness Bureau of more than 20,000 Courtesy Credits, and abusing using his position as a KayPO.
Bob Tan Boon Huat, 47, faces three charges - two counts of cheating, and one count of forgery for the purpose of cheating.
According to court documents, he had conspired with Joe Chang Teck Meng, 47, to illegally transfer 25,000 Courtesy Credits to each of their accounts.
This is the first case of alleged corruption that has come to light since the launch of the National Kindness Act in 2050.
-
<p>You regret what you had done. "I wish I could [[turn back the clock->National Kindness Act]]," you tell the investigating officers.</p>
<br>
<br>
<br><h3>SOCIAL CONTRACT</h3>
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
Please have a look at the following terms of the Kindness Act
<h5>Courtesy Credit</h5>
Social benefits and eligibility for nationwide schemes and programmes will now be calculated in terms of Courtesy Credit (CC).<br>
CCs can be claimed for priority in:
•Entry to primary and secondary schools under the Affiliated Kindness Scheme
•Procurement of Housing Board BTO flats
•Access to Michelin-starred hawker centre meals
•Civil service positions listed under the Jobs Bank portal
<b>And more!</b>
<h5>Kindness surveillance</h5>
The CC scheme will be enforced through Kindness Surveillance, supported by a volunteer network of independent, non-partisan Kindness Patrol Officers (KayPOs).<br>
They will log witnessed instances of Kind Acts. Those caught in acts that run counter to the ethos of the CC scheme will have CCs deducted accordingly from their CC balance.
<<button [[Sign this social contract|Roleplay]]>><</button>>
<br>
<br>
<br>Thank you for undertaking this new social contract, and a hearty congratulations!
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
We trust that you will be a vital part of the nation's holistic development and strategic positioning in the years going forward, and will be a key stakeholder in our drive to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for all as Singapore ramps up its efforts to become a First World Globally-Ready Nation.
Before we start, you will go through a quick interview to find out what role you can play under this Kindness Act.
Each role comes with a rigorous set of expectations for advancement under the CC scheme. Remember, it is only through hard work that each of us can earn the place in society that we deserve.
To play, please select your age:

<br><h3>FROM THE OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL KINDNESS BUREAU</h3>
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
Dear Citizen,
Congratulations. Based on national records, you have been assessed and found to be suitable to be a Kindness Patrol Officer (KayPO).
<<button [[Find out more|More]]>><</button>><br>
<<button [[Erm, it doesn't sound appealing. Can I do something else?|Adult]]>><</button>>
<br><br>Why did you say no, your wife confronts you when you reach home.
She brings up your six-year-old, the eldest.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-08.png" class="responsive">
"Didn't you know that she could have gone to an Affiliated Kindness School if you had just stayed on in your post for six more months?"
She doesn't mention the other things. How people are eager to please you now. How gifts and mysterious packages arrive at your doorstep.
You shrug your shoulders.
"I just want to be a [[normal person->Adult 2]]."
<br><br><br>Unfortunately, the old folks' home has run out of CCs.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
"We have limited resources and all our CCs that we applied for through the new Kindness incentive scheme have been distributed to the nine other schools in this district that came before you," said the superintendent grimly.
"I suggest you try performing at neighbourhoods closer to downtown with more resources. There probably would not be as many students all looking to perform their Kind Acts in the same place."

<br><h3>Joe</h3> is the owner of a big data and tech security solutions company, and a computer whizz. He is doing all right now, with a number of big clients, including the Kindness Bureau itself.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
But Joe has other problems to think about. He has been doing Kind Acts diligently, but poor, unlucky him almost never gets these acts witnessed by a KayPO.
No matter how much money he is earning, it counts for nothing unless he can rack up 4,000 CCs within a month so that his dad, who has liver disease, can get a place in the hospital.
Joe has a proposition for you. If you can just grant him access to your KayPO awards portal, he can use that link to hack into the systems undetected, and upgrade his CC balance.
"I can do that for you, too - you can get as much CC as you want without having to perform your KayPO duties...forever."
"Give me a night to [[think about it]]," you tell Joe.
<br><br><br>Please wait while we process your application.

Ah, are you worried about shouldering the burden of becoming an engaged citizen?
It's completely normal to feel this way!
After all, so many people in this country are apathetic: no thanks to our effective, efficient government!
But you will soon find out that it is not so difficult to play a role
<p>Trust me.</p>
<<button [[Okay|Social Contract]]>><</button>>
<br><br>To be a KayPO, you have to fulfil a minimum requirement of completing two 8-hour patrol/surveillance shifts every week.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-07.png" class="responsive">
No salary or financial incentives will be given out as we want to make sure that all our KayPOs sign up with the intrinsic desire to give back to society and better the community.
However, you get a bonus 5,000 CCs every year if you successfully complete all your duties. This bonus will be presented to you at a ceremony at the Istana in the lead-up to National Day. This amount may be topped up depending on your performance.

<<button [[I want to be inducted as a Kindness Patrol Officer|Kindness Patrol Officer]]>><</button>><br>
<<button [[Sorry, I just want to be a normal citizen and earn my CCs by being kind|no]]>><</button>>
<br><br><br>Here is a quick look at what the additional CCs can qualify you for:
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
<li>•Eligibility to sign up for schools under the Affiliated Kindness Scheme at the priority admission stage</li>
<li>•A bump-up of 20 queue spots under the HDB BTO/resale flat application</li>
<li>•Priority consideration for a fast-track scheme for your children under the Kindness Bootcamp programme</li>
<<button [[Oh wow, sure, I'll join!|Kindness Patrol Officer]]>><</button>><br>
<<button [[Erm, can I try something else|no]]>><</button>>
<br><br><br>
<h3>WARNING</h3>
If you fail to comply with the Act, you will not be able to finish school and will be slapped with an Unkind label.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
It will be vastly more difficult for you to find a job afterwards when you step out into society without a certificate, and with the baggage of such a label.
<<button [[Fine, I'll do my part|Normal 2]]>><</button>> <<button [[I don't care|Unemployed]]>><</button>>
<br><br><img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
You are unemployed for years after graudation and eventually run out of cash, moving from shelter to shelter that only allow you to stay for a maximum of six months.
You try busking and begging on the streets, relying on the kindness of strangers, but people seldom give you any money - these acts are not sanctioned by the Kindness Act.
<<button [[Quit the system|Out of system]]>><</button>><br>
<<button [[Reshuffle my cards in life, I want to be something else!|Roleplay]]>><</button>>

Congratulations on taking up this role as a KayPO.

<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-07.png" class="responsive">
Here is your first task - a recent survey has shown that our citizens only mix with those of similar education and class backgrounds.
We do not believe this is good for the profile of the country, particularly in our common spaces like hawker centres and town plazas which have been designed to bridge people across this social divide.
•Deduct points from uncooperative citizens who only want to mix in their own circles
•Give bonus points to those who show an active interest in bridging the social divide
<<button [[Got it!|Divide]]>><</button>>
<br><br>You see a woman sitting at a park bench by herself.
She recognizes your fluorescent KayPO jacket and immediately leaves her seat.
She approaches the forlorn tissue paper-seller right next to you, and strikes up a conversation with her, constantly looking over her shoulder to ensure that she is within your sight.

You are doing your job well!
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
After all, such displays of harmony and kindness in public is a form of soft power and influence. Citizens will gradually warm up to the idea of looking out for others who are lagging behind in society!

<br><br>Hi, this is your superintendent speaking.

Why are you not doing your job, as you have been briefed?
After all, don't you have a six-year-old daughter to bring up at home?
Don't you agree that getting them into an Affiliated Kindness School will do wonders for their accelerated progress in life, in an age where the world has become so much more competitive due to globalisation and technology?

You give up on the Kindness system and migrate to another country, where you end up making a name for yourself by writing critical articles about the Kindness Act.
You know you will never be able to return home, but you have already accepted that this is the sacrifice that you'll have to make.

<br><br>Hello, I am Singapore Institution's career counsellor.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
It was the right choice for you to take up this Overseas Kindness Experience - a unique programme that only our school is able to offer for bright young scholars like you!
Remember to include this Experience as something that has opened your eyes to the inequalities of this world, made you aware of how lucky you are to be born and bred in this country, or maybe even possibly an inspiration behind why you wanted to launch a cutting-edge social enterprise.
Have you also tried out our [[Diversity Experiences]]?
If you've done so already, please feel free to [[move on->Graduation]]
<br><br>Congratulations on finishing the rigorous programme at the Singapore Institution!
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-Student-12.png" class="responsive">
I am sure you will have a bright future ahead under the National Kindness Act with the Kindness capital that you have accumulated.
<<button [[Exit]]>><</button>>
<br><br><br>Welcome to the Diversity Experience, which can help you sheltered, well-mannered young gentlemen and women get out of your comfort zones and engage in some meaningful inter-class mixing; overcoming social stratification and fostering national solidarity through a common shared experience!
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-Student-12.png" class="responsive">
Everyone gets 100 CC credited to their accounts on a monthly basis while they are enrolled in this programme.
But the better-performers and the ones who demonstrate evidence of Kindness Leadership traits can get bonus CCs and maybe even get talent-spotted by the National Kindness Bureau!
<<button [[Yes, let's get started!|Options]]>><</button>>
<br>
<br>This Diversity Experience will last for a week.
During this period, for every person of lower SES (Socio-Economic Status) you meet and add as a friend on your social media accounts, you will be able to receive 20 CCs!
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-Student-12.png" class="responsive">
Do remember to take some good photos, which can then go into our annual school report.
Enjoy!
<<button [[Wowee, let's start|Outcome]]>><</button>> <br>
<<button [[Ugh, do I really have to do this|Outcome 2]]>><</button>>
<br><br>You are friendly and cheerful to everyone you meet who seems to have fit the bill of being in a lower SES bracket. You remember faces, names, say hi and exchange pleasantries.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-Student-14.png" class="responsive">
At the end of the week, you have accumulated more than 100 friends on your various social accounts. That's a whopping 2,000 CCs! Congrats!
<<button [[Collect my CCs|Collect]]>><</button>>
<br><br><br>You don't care about whether you mix with people of lower SES backgrounds or not. After all, these people have little in common with you.
At the end of the week, you don't add any new friends to your social media account.

The career counsellor at school calls you in for a meeting.
"This is unacceptable behaviour from a student from the esteemed Singapore Institution! Do you really want to put our good name at risk, just because of your uncaring manners? Do you really want us to get slapped with the dreaded label of elitism again?"
"You have to try harder," she admonishes.

Thank you for your interest in joining the Kindness Service!
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
We are honoured to have such a young citizen like you, who is brimming with potential, join our ranks. It is a difficult and complex role - one that I am sure you will undertake with responsibility.
We have noted your contact details and will be in touch with you very soon about university options and future job postings.
Looking forward to working with you!
<<button [[Exit]]>><</button>>Aw, that's such a pity. The Kindness Service would have benefited from a talent like you.

<br><br>Your teacher pleads with the superintendent.
"Please, they have been working hard on this for a month. Isn't your centre a charity? Beggars can't be choosers, and there aren't any other organisations that are willing to work with our school besides yours..."
You shuffle into the home with your classmates, and you burst into a chrous of Tian Mi Mi, swaying enthusiastically to the rhythms of a song with the rest of the group.

Your audience of 20 continues looking sad. Half of them cover their ears. Two start to mumble and sway in their seats. One of them stands up and leaves. Another weeps in her seat.

<br>Are you sure you want to drop out of school?
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
With no Kindness capital, no certificate for completion of the Values in Action scheme, it'll be hard for you to go anywhere in life under this new Kindness Act!

<br><br>Your teacher looks at you and shakes her head.
She says nothing for five minutes when you ask her if you will be able to graduate from school in time at this rate.

<br><br><br><h5>Welcome to West Kind Secondary School!</h5>
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-Student-13.png" class="responsive">
We have just been newly set up last year, but I believe that you will be a crucial part of our journey towards success in school!
Here at West Kind Secondary, Kindness is not just a strategic thrust, but a cornerstone of school policy.
Next month is Kindness Month and we will need your full participation.
OK?
<<button [[Sure, I'm raring to go!|form]]>><</button>> <<button [[Yawn, what kindness month|Lecture]]>><</button>>
<br>
<br>
<br>You have racked up enough CCs to last you for a good ten years because of your operation with Joe.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
Your daughter has even gotten a place at an Affiliated Kindness School, which can pave the way for better Kindness schemes at partner schools like the Singapore Institution.
But one day, you get a [[call]].
<br><br>Hello, ordinary citizen.
Well, you may have made some bad decisions in your life, but we at the Kindness Bureau firmly believe in the virtues of meritocracy, and can help you get back on track again.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
So, we hear that you have applied eight times to get a HDB flat. But since you cannot contribute to our nation's Total Fertility Rate, you have not heard back from them.
Well, we can do more for you through our CC incentive scheme.
<<button [[Seriously? Tell me more|preface]]>><</button>><br>
<<button [[Isn't the CC scheme compulsory anyway?|part]]>><</button>>
<br><br>
Every Kind Act you perform will take you a step closer towards earning more CCs, which can be exchanged for priority in securing a HDB flat!*

<<button [[Well, looks like I haven't really got a choice|part]]>><</button>>
<br><br><br><br>Your live demo has come to an end.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-08.png" class="responsive">
Remember to keep in mind the ethos and spirit of the Act as you go about practising Kindness in your everyday life!
<<button [[Let me try something else|Roleplay]]>><</button>><br>
<<button [[Back to main page|National Kindness Act]]>><</button>>
<br><br><br>Congratulations!
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-Student-12.png" class="responsive">
With your 2,000 CCs, you will be suitable for our Kindness Service scholarship upon graduation.
Even though you no longer speak to the low-SES friends you have made during your Diversity Experience, I am sure they have opened your eyes to the glaring social problems in this country and have filled you with the determination to do something good for them, to give back!
Would you like to join the Kindness Service?
<<button [[Why, of course|Join]]>><</button>> <<button [[Sorry, I'll have to say no|Too much]]>><</button>>
<br><br>A year passes. You get invited to the Istana and win a special mention award for your efforts as a Kindness Patrol Officer.
<img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/ConcernedCitizens-07.png" class="responsive">
At the recommendation of a fellow KayPO, you find another job in security data analytics at a multi-national company. Your oldest child secures a place in an Affiliated Kindness School, which guarantees entry to the [[Singapore Institution->Special]]. All is well.
<<button [[Exit]]>><</button>>
<br><br><img src="https://nationalkindnessact.com/logo.png" class="responsive">
We are processing your transfer to a new school. Do note that it will be a very different environment, surrounded people with significantly less Kindness capital than your previous school. You must have the grit and resilience to thrive in that kind of environment!
