Pupils' Response 2 - Our Festivals in Singapore

Our Festivals in Singapore

Hello to all 3.2 pupils,

We have just celebrated Chinese New Year and Thaipusam. Both are some of the many festivals celebrated by the Chinese and Hindus. The Malays, Indians and other races also celebrate their own festivals.

I would like you to reflect on the meaning of these festivals and how we can preserve racial harmony in Singapore.

To help you with your reflection, I have listed some questions/pointers below:
1. Tell us about the festival you celebrate.
2. Why do you celebrate this festival?
3. How do you celebrate the festival?
4. Do you know what are the festivals celebrated by the other races? If so, could you name a few? Also tell us who celebrate them and why they celebrate them.
5. Do you think the celebration of the various festivals help in strengthening racial harmony among the various race in Singapore? If so, how?
6. In your opinion, how can we develop stronger bonds among the various races in Singapore?

I am looking forward to reading the response you will be posting in your blog soon.
Mr Roseman
