1a) What are the 4 rules for religious harmony?Those 4 rules are
- All groups have to exercise tolerance and restraint
- Keep religion seperate from politics
- Goverment must remain secular
- Maintain the common space that all Singaporeans share
b) In your opinion, how can we maintain a common space in schools?
We should maintain the common space in most of the things we do. One of them is when sharing meal in school. As people have different dietery needs ex. Muslims can't eat pork, Hindus can't eat beef, some Buddhists are vegeterians and other stuff like this also. So therefore as our PM said, there should be a balance in common space- where people of diffrerent religion get together. The same thing applies in other common space also like treating all the different religious student as the same and not being racist. This is how we can maintain a common space.
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?
Yes, ofcourse i do respect other religions becasue they are also religions. We shouldn't look down on one's religion as we are all staying in the same country. We can only stay united when each of us respect and treat each and everyone and their religion equally.
I tink it's very bad of those children to stay away from their parent's funeral just because of their traditional rites against their new religion. This is beacuse, however both parent and child are from diffrerent religion, they should respect and be thankful to their parents for bringing them up and not giving up on them when they have converted their religion. Those children are not humans of good soul to me as they are not grateful towards them =X
