Singaporeans of all races and religions living together in harmony is critical to maintaining peace and stability in Singapore. When Singaporeans understand and are sensitive to different cultures and traditions, and build strong bonds across ethnic groups, it helps strengthen social cohesion. As citizens, we have a duty to contribute to the community by helping the less fortunate regardless of their race, religion, age or nationality, which can further strengthen social cohesion and build a gracious, compassionate society.
