Racial Harmony Day - Embracing diversity in our common space

Hi Everyone,

We have just celebrated Racial Harmony Day. This week, I'd like you to reflect on the importance of racial harmony in Singapore. To guide you along, I have posed some questions:

1. What does 'racial harmony' mean to you?

2. Why is it important that we have racial harmony in Singapore?

3. Do you think the different races get along well in school and in your neighbourhood?

4, Do you have any friend/s from a different race? If yes, how did you get to know him/her? What do you do together? If not, why don't you have any friends from another race?

5. How can you help to promote racial harmony in your school and in your neighbourhood?

Looking forward to reading your response soon.
