Measures taken.
The Singapore government worked on the education system in Singapore through the Civics lessons (in primary) and Social Studies lessons (in secondary). Through Civics lesson, we learnt how can we take a step towards better racial harmony and through social studies, we learnt the importance of racial harmony is to Singapore and how difficult it is to gain such peace between different races in Singapore today. Also, there are significant days like NE Day, where students and even teachers, get to know more about different races, and how we can foster social cohesion.
Why it is important.
It is important because it not only will lead to riots which will cause deaths and injuries, it will also cause Singapore's economy to go down as less investors and tourist will invest on and visit our country.
Other ways to foster social cohesion.
We can learn more about other cultures and different races, gain more knowlegde so as to not offend people of other races unintentionally just because of our blindness to their culture and practices.
We can also work more in trying to understand people of other races by communicating with them, showing that we meant no harm, but just to be friends.
