Racial unity is often one of the highlights of ministerial speeches here in Singapore. Singapore is after all a manufactured society of different races.No one racial or religious community can claim to be the natives of this land because every race and religion has contributed to the country’s success.

Therefore, the government would find it an uphill struggle if it tries to influence people’s thinking about lifestyle, having babies or device ways to gather different races to have weekend gatherings.

The reality is: There will always be likes and dislikes amongst humans.

In an ideal world, all humans will be able to accept differences.  In the real world, this is not always achievable.  History tells us so.Therefore, people need to know that it is absolutely normal to be unable to accept or agree with each other’s views – as long as they can tolerate it, respect it and remain friends.

-Common Living Space Provided by Public Housing.
In 1980s,it was observed that there were too many people from the same racial group living in the same housing estate.This situation could hinder the social bonding among people from the different races.
In 1989,the ethnic integration policy was introduced.It puts a  limit on the the proportion of races in every neighbourhood and block.This ensures that there is an even distribution of the different races in all the housing estates.
Living together in the same neighbourhood provides opportunities for people from different ethnic groups to interact.Now neighbours getting together to celebrate occasions such as birthday!:D
