Challenges We Face As A Multi-Ethnic Society

This is a picture of Singapore's supreme court.

With regards to the previous story we had written about, managing stability in Singapore was not of an easy task. We had to overcome series of obstacles to make ourselves better. The lack of understanding among the racial groups can create suspicion and unhapiness amongst the people. In 1964, Singapore expereince race riots which resulted in 36 people dead and 560 others injured. In July, the government called for a meeting with Malay organisations to explain its policies. During the celebration of prophet Muhammad's birthday, a clash between a chinese policemen and a group of Malay participants of the procession, turned to into full blown next riots over the next few days. This callup for a major discussion to ensure the stability among the race in Singapore. Now, with our strong relationship and bond amongst other race, we easily communicate and understand with one another unlike 40 years ago.
