Being a Singaporean

To me, being a Singaporean is to not to be racist as Singapore is a multi-ethnic country of various races. The races found in Singapore are Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian. That is why there is Racial Harmony Day. It is to know and learn what the other races are doing. Whatever that race is doing, the others must respect it. Without Racial Harmony Day, peace will not be found in Singapore. Racial riots had occured in the late 90s and the government do not want it to happen again. Second point of becoming a Singaporean is to serve the country. Singapore is practicing deterence so that Singapore will be and independent country and not be a colony of other country. That is why, male Singaporeans have to go to National Service at age of 18 to 21. Singapore is such a small country, but with money, arms and defence, Singapore will be and independent country. Singaporeans should be friendly with other countries too as we need the support of other countries for our basic needs such as water. Malaysia have been selling us their water,imported rice from Indonesia and many more. Singapore is a beautiful country and we should maintain the peace.
