In Other Countries...
Even other countries see the the importance of racial harmony, for example Malaysia.
The Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry released a schedule of concerts, film festivals, publication launches, ceremonies and exhibits ahead of National Day on August 31 to show the country's success in cultivating racial harmony. Also, celebrations will show how far society has evolved, with musicians and dancers from different ethnic groups performing to "reflect the lives of the various races in Malaysia that are always united.''
Also, on 20 Feb 2002, the first World Harmony Day was held at the Suntec City's fountain.
This shows that Racial Harmony Day is a major event that should be taken seriously. Not only is racial harmony important within Singapore but also with other countries. Peace and bonding between the different ethnic groups has brought Singapore to where it is today - a peaceful, stable and a successful nation.
