Racial Harmony Day

21 July is Racial Harmony Day. We celebrate racial harmony day is because we appreciate the peace we have in Singapore today. On 21 July 1964, there was a riot between the Chinese and the Malay groups. Some were killed and many were injured. So, to prevent this from happening again, we celebrate Racial Harmony every year on 21 July to remind us of this incident and to maintain the peace we have now in Singapore.

In order to celebrate Racial Harmony Day, our school had organized a lot of events. Like, the saying of pledge in the different languages everyday, having PPE on Racial Harmony, charity bazaar and the fusion dance on 21 July. The fusion dance is for the sec 3s where they need to include the different races in their dance. They can either wear a costume of another race or use songs of different language. It is fun to participate as we can learn a dance of another race and can learn more about them.

I feel that Racial Harmony allow us to know more about each other races and learn to respect them. We must maintain what we have now in Singapore so that regardless of race, language or religion, we can all live together in peace and harmony in Singapore.

This picture shows the cat feeling contented when someone pats it… I think it feels very lonely and is happy when someone plays with it.
