Straits Times Reflection
Term 3 Week 8
2E/NA


1a) What are the 4 rules for religious harmony?
All groups have to exercise tolerance and restraint, Keep religion separate from politics,Government must remain secular,Maintain the common space that all Singaporeans share.

b) In your opinion, how can we maintain a common space in schools?
First of all, the government must ensure that all teachers are of different races and religious. As teachers form the core of the school community, it is crucial that they practice racial and religious harmony in order to inculcate these values in their students. The school must also make sure that there is an even distribution of students of different races and religions in each class. This measures will ensure that people of different racial and religious groups will interact and bond. Common practices such as saying the pledge and singing the national anthem ensures that eveyone sees themselves as equal and one, united people.

2) Do you respect other religions? Why or why not? What do you think of children who stay away from their parents' funerals because they believe the traditional rites are against their new religion?
