Nationalism caused two world wars. We small small Singapore
better just quietly go about our business instead of trying to tell
the rest of the world how good we are.
But patriotism is another matter. It is in some sense desirable,
but to instil it in the younger generation, for whom state and
national boundaries don't count much anymore, would be a very
difficult task indeed. I'm afraid that doesn't really answer your
question, but I doubt the government would have a really good
answer either...
