Racial Harmony Day 2010
Upon reaching school, there were lots of our schoolmates wearing traditional costumes. Racial Harmony Day is what made us come together as one after Singapore had gone through the Racial Riots in 1964 due to misunderstandings. Different races had come together and speak a common language, which is English, to converse with each other without causing misunderstandings and inflicting pain to each other through what we speak. I was curious to know what our schoolmates think about Racial Harmony Day and decided to ask one of the students, Siti Najiha from 2E2.
What do you think about Racial Harmony Day this year?
It is meaningful and helps to teach different races to get along with each other.
What do you think about the Racial Harmony Day carnival that was held at the atrium?
It was entertaining as there were a lot of people dancing and there was nice music.
What do you think about the performance?
There were nice performances that were organized to humor us on this Racial Harmony Day and there were a lot of different students of different races performing together and having loads of fun.
What do you think about the costumes that our schoolmates wore today?
The costumes were very eye-catching and I realized there were different kinds of costumes that other races wear.
Did you wear any costumes today?
No I did not.
Why?
I could not find any costumes to wear and nobody's costumes were my size.
What costume do you want to wear if you had a chance?
I want to wear a Chinese costume as it is has very nice designs on it.
What do you not like about the performance?
I noticed that there were not enough space for dancers to move around and it was also very crammed as there were many students surrounding the area to view the performance.
What do you think can be improved about the performance?
I would like the space to be wider or the venue of the performance to be somewhere more spacious and the duration of our break to be longer just for that day to see all the performance that was done by our schoolmates.
What do you think about this morning's PPE?
The girl from 1E4 said meaningful things and the ways to maintain peace was useful for us.
Lastly, what do you wish to see for next year's Racial Harmony Day?
I want more fun and games to be held for us to enjoy.
