How different are we? (Part 2)
In Singapore , we are all able to live in harmony with each other though we are of different races , chinese , malay , indian , eurasian or any other race that one may be .
Though we all have different culture , beliefs , ethnic clothes as well as our own type of food which each have their own unique flavour , racial harmony could still be acheived . It's a feat that all these long years not only did we suceeded in co-existing with one another but also co-existing with each other happily :)
It's inveitable that we have friends of different races from ourselves or different skin color may it be . From young , we have been exposed or it could be put in a way we live , learn or work in a community which consists of different races which provides us with the chance to interact together , work together and also to respect and understand each of our differing culture and beliefs .
When you visit a foodcourt or places which sells food , the different food of our races could be found , for sure ! How special could that be ?
In our lifetime , there is inveitably a chance or more that we would get to try food of other races
as well and maybe it could become one of your favourite food .
In primary and secondary schools , Racial Harmony is celebrated . This day is special in a way that each of the students would don their own traditional costume or traditional costumes of other races which they would usually exchange with one another . And students often look forward to this very day where they could wear their home clothes to school . We have been brought up to respect as well as appreciate the unique cultures of other races . Also to be sensitive of the beliefs of other races .
While in our society , there is also no discrimination of any particular race or whatsoever ! :D
At mrt stations , you could find our 4 different language which is tamil , malay , chinese and english as the most common one on the signboards as well as hearing it over the announcment system . That is really commendable as it really shows consideration to the older generations which do not understand english but only their mother tongue language . Most importantly it brings out a message that all the 4 differing race are of equality in Singapore . gossip @ 4:35 AM
