Racial Harmony, I remember the primary school used to celebrate. Every year, we will be taught the importance of having racial harmony in Singapore, which is a multi ethnic country. Also, we will dress up with clothes and costumes of different races on the celebration day. Items will be brought up by students of different races as well. There will be a strong demonstration of racial harmony, working together despite the differnet races through exhibits and activities for the students to attend. Since young, we have been taught and we have learnt to accept the different races in Singapore.
Ministry Of Education commerate Racial Harmony Day on 21 July every year to mark the anniversary of the 1964 racial riots. This is a day for students to reflect on and celebrate Singapore's success as a harmonious nation built on a rich diversity of cultures. It can promote inter-racial understanding among students as the celebrations are a reminder that promotes social cohesion and racial harmony among the different races.
The theme for this year's RHD is “Embracing Diversity, Building Community”. It reminds us of the different races, cultures and languages in Singapore. Hence I feel that racial harmony in Singapore is based on understanding, not tolerance.
As singaporeans, we should respect each other’s race and religion and celebrate Racial Harmony Day together. All the races should work together, in harmony, to create a better Singapore.
