BONDING SINGAPORE

‘A little red dot to the world we may be. But to us, the people of Singapore, it’s you and it’s me! ’

15-year-old Singaporean student

PREAMBLE

Ever since the proclamation of Singapore as a multiracial state, the government has upheld social cohesion amongst races as its key priority. In Singapore, we uphold racial and religious harmony in the society by having policies which are based on values of respect, acceptance, equality and tolerance. All these will bring about the ultimate aim of instilling mutual respect and appreciation for each others’ race and culture, and bring about a society which is cohesive and integrated. While the government’s policies are key agents to building social cohesiveness, it still remains up to each individual in Singapore to integrate with other races.
