Let's Celebrate Racial Harmony Day
Singapore celebrates its Racial Harmony Day annually on 21 July. This is a special day because many years ago, racial riots broke out and resulted in massive damages to properties and loss of lives.
We need to remember this day because the peace which come from racial harmony should not be taken for granted. There are ethnic tensions and killings in other parts of the world but Chinese, Malays, Indians and other races can live and work together in Singapore.
Singapore is an economically competitive place which attracts businesses and talents all over the world. Sinagpore is also a beautiful and green island.
More importantly, Singapore is our home where our children can experience different food and culture of the different races!
As a small nation, we could be easily gobbled up if Singaporeans are disunited and torn apart by racial feuds.
While we still need more time to forge a national identity, we can give ourselves a pat on the back for our decades-long efforts in preserving racial harmony.
Let's celebrate and treasure our racial harmony.
