Straits Time
St Reflection 15

Question 1)
a) What are the 4 rules for religious harmony?

1. All groups have to exercise tolerance and restraint.
2. Keep religion separate from politics.
3. Government must remain secular.
4. Maintain the common space that all Singaporeans share.

b) In your opinion, how can we maintain a common space in schools?
For food problems, school principles can hire different people from different religions to operate different stalls. They can cook differnt foods for pupils who require differnet dietary needs.

Question 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?

I respect other religions. I need to accept the ways of other religions, even if they are irritating or bother me in any way. If I were to get irritated by a religious practice, I would still be in no place to complain about it.
Children who stay away from their parents' funerals just because of traditional rites really do not appreciate their parents enough. Parents brought their children up, and yet, because of a traditional rite, they do not even want to send their parents off properly. They are just too much.
