This article is about more than 2300 people from during ethnic groups, including President Tony Tan, local politicians and foreign diplomats, came into to watched cultural performance at Marina Bay Sands on 12/7. It was the 12th Inter Racial Inter Religious Harmony Nite, that celebrates racial and religious harmony.
This event is a wonderful event that brings people from different race together and celebrate racial and religious harmony. Racial harmony is something that all of us can be proud of. Our founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, said before, Singapore is not made up of Chinese, Malays, Indians. It consist of everyone. No matter what happened, we should come together, stand together, and survive together. Without Mr Lee, Singapore may not be as equal like today. People of different races may not be wiling to work together as one nation, one Singapore. This shows the importance of racial harmony. If Singapore was separated into many different groups, riots will be everywhere. We should continue to celebrate this important and significant harmony, not only just during racial harmony day, but treasure it, as it is not something that can be built so easily.
