There are space for people to preserve and express their own cultural heritage, traditions and religious beliefs. For these reasons, we celebrate Hari Raya, Thaipusam, Chinese New Year and Christmas and encourage all groups to celebrate these occasions together.
We must continue to emphasise common values that build our common Singapore identity. Our schools provide a common space for students from diverse backgrounds to have a shared formative experience that make us uniquely Singaporean. In this common space, students of different races, religions and cultures interact, and learn to respect, appreciate and get along with each other. Teachers in this respect play an important role as examples to show the way for our younger Singaporeans to appreciate the importance of Racial Harmony.
