PM's 4 BASIC RULES FOR RELIGIOUS HARMONY



1a) What are the 4 rules for religious harmony?
Answer : The 4 rules for religious harmony are all groups have to exercise tolerance and restraints, keep religion separate from politics, Government must remain secular and maintain the common spacethat all Singaporean share.

b) In your opinion, how can we maintain a common space in schools?
Answer: In my opinion , we can maintain a common space in schools by sharing about our own culture to our friends . By doing this we get to know different cultures that practices by different races . By sharing food , can let us taste their different food but the malays must know that the stalls have Halal Certificate.

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?

Answer: I respect other religions because we are living in country that have different religions. All religions have to respect each other. If we do not respect , there will be fight and riot against each other. If we say bad things about other religions, we are going to be in troubles . Not only us , but our religion will be in big trouble too . The children who stay away from their parents's funeral are acting rudely toward their parent's funeral. Because of rites , they should not stay away because they cannot just stay away from the traditional rites , they must be fair towards the traditional rites and their new religion.
