Racial harmony is important to me as it allows me to learn about the different cultures in Singapore and helps me bond with my peers. I can share my own culture with them, which helps strengthen our bonds.

Racial harmony brings people from different religions together. It is a time when we learn about one another's cultures and traditions, and appreciate our differences.
