*Grassroots activities across S'pore promote racial
harmony*
SINGAPORE: Several grassroots activities are being held over the
weekend to promote racial harmony.
Some 1,000 residents in Aljunied on Saturday took part in a mass
racial harmony pledge.
As they were treated to songs and dances, they were also reminded
by their Member of Parliament not to take Singapore's situation for
granted.
Said Foreign Affairs Minister George Yeo, "It is a situation which
requires us everyday to show tolerance, to give and take, to help
one another and to be sensitive to each others feelings."
To foster further understanding, more such events will be held on
Sunday, including a walk-a-jog around Bedok Reservoir.
At Fengshan Community Club, students tested their knowledge of
various cultures and customs in Singapore to promote greater
understanding of each other.
The organisers, the People's Association, hope the students will
learn more about the different races in the country.
The Racial Harmony Day events are in their sixth year and are held
every July.
