17 Aug 2009 - Home Section [ pg b3 ] - PM's 4 Basic Rules for Racial Harmony



[a] What are the 4 rules for religious Harmony ?



The first is that we have to exercise tolerance and restraint from other races . The second rule is that we have to seprate religion from polictics . The third rule is that , we must remain secular and the last rule is that we must all have a common room for Singaporeans to share about their opinions for areas of improvement .



[b] In your opinion , how can we maintain a common space in schools ?



In my view , Religious activities must be optional and not complusory in mission schools so that all races can go into that particular school and we too can also maintain a common room space in school .



2. Do you respect other religions ? Why or Why not ?

What do you think of children who stary away from their parents's funerals because they believe the traditional rites against the new religion ?



I respect other religions becuase I feel that each religion have their own believe and thus , we must all respect that . Singapore is also a place that is multi - religious and thus we CANNOT create conflicts between oursleves because we learn to respect other religions and thus if we have the time , we can also learn about other religion.

I think it is the children's choice if they choose to believe their own way but after all it's their parents who raise thewm up and made sure they grew well
