There is potential for conflict and occasional misunderstanding
among Singaporeans but these can be resolved if people exercise
tolerance and respect different viewpoints.
This was Health Minister Gan Kim Yong's message in his speech at
the first GRC-organised Inter Racial and Religious Confidence
Circle (IRCC) carnival held on Sunday.
The event named [email protected] was piloted last year by the
Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports to promote
racial and religious harmony among residents. This year, the event
at West Coast Park was organised by the IRCCs in Chua Chua Kang GRC
and Hong Kah North, in order to engage residents better.
It drew about 1,500 participants.
