Racism

Racism is discrimination of people due to their race. Racism can be very serious, and can result in fights, quarrels and disputes. In Singapore, several actions have been taken by the Government to combat racism. An example is the introduction of Racial Harmony Day, celebrated on 21st July every year. This promotes racial harmony in Singapore and prevents conflicts that arise from racism.

Another method Singapore has done is to ensure an equal proportion of different races living in a HDB estate. This ensures that not too many residents of one race stay in a block. This also allows different races to bond together, and also promotes harmony between different races. In my opinion, racial harmony and can be extended to other aspects. For example, football teams in Singapore can have a limit of a certain race. There should be a fair number of Chinese, Malays, and Indians. In conclusion, I feel that Singapore has done enough to combat racism but more can be done to curb racism even more.
