Dear Guys,
We celebrate this special day, 21st July and at the same time, commemorate the Racial Riots, which took place on 21 July 1964. We must not take our peace and prosperous development in Singapore for granted as too much had been sacrificed for us to learn the hard way... that Singapore will only continue to prosper and progress through her people - her only resource. Thus, it is of outmost importance for us to practice racial harmony in our classroom, in our school, our community and in our society at large.... & appreciate that, amidst our differences, we are living in a safe, peaceful and prosperous diverse-city like Singapore. Cheers!!!
Declaration on Racial Harmony
We, the people in Singapore, declare that religious harmony is vital for peace, progress and prosperity in our multi-racial and multi-religious Nation.
We resolve to strengthen religious harmony through mutual tolerance, confidence, respect, and understanding.
We shall always...
Recognise the secular nature of our State,
Promote cohesion within our society,
Respect each other's freedom of religion,
Grow our common space while respecting our diversity,
Foster inter-religious communications,
and thereby ensure that religion will not be abused to create conflict and disharmony in Singapore.
