- What are the 4 rules for religious harmony?
- All religion groups must exercise tolerance and restraint, and should not be related to politics but separated. The government must be fair to all religion groups, in other words, they must be secular. Lastly, maintaining common spaces Singaporeans share so as to allow the feeling of at home in Singapore at ease.
- In your opinion, how can we maintain a common space in schools?
- The Catholic and Chinese schools should allow the students of other religion and/or races to mix along with the catholics and chinese. Other than that, students of different religion and/or races have to be independent and do something common together amongst themselves.
- Do you respect other religions? Why or why not? What do you think of the children who stay away from their parent's funerals because they believe the traditional rites are against their new religion?
- Yes, I do. I respect them because I also want them to respect me, as well as my religion, and to gain their respect, I have to respect them too. Other than that, I would not want any racial riots to occur. In my opinion, I think that those children are very disrespectful to their parents. To me, nothing is more important than family. It sis true though that religion is important but, by abandoning parent's funeral is not only disrespectful to their parents, but also quite sinful. Their parents have taken great care of them from young till what they are now, and visiting their funerals is only a small price to pay. But, it is a shame that they could not just do this little thing for their parents.
