On this day in 1964, Singapore saw racial riots. Racial Harmony Day serves to remind our pupils that social division costs us dearly and that race and religion are potential fault-lines in Singapore society.
It is a day for schools to reflect on, and celebrate our success as a harmonious nation and society built on a rich diversity of cultures and heritages.
This is J's 1st Racial Harmony Day. I had initially wanted to buy a Malay costume for him but due to our proximity to Little India, it was much easier to get a costume from there.We finally settled on this brown color Indian costume which cost abt $20. We bought a bigger size hoping that we can recycle it next year.
