Today, Temasek Junior College celebrated Racial Harmony Day.A myriad of coloured-traditional costumes greeted my sight as I entered the school...
Kebayas,Baju Kurungs,Cheongsams,Saris,"WE EVEN HAD PEOPLE DRESSED UP IN KOPITIAM OUTFITS :D"
Name it and we had it..
"So there are still people who care..."
Needless to say,it was heartening to know that students from various beliefs and culture didn't mind dressing up in a foreign costume.It further cements the fact that even in today's modernizing world,Singaporeans still live out our pledge.That,even with increased racial and religious tensions around the world,we Singaporeans remain rooted to the aspirations of our forefathers.
Will the aspiration live out in the coming future?Who knows..
The sad reality is that not every Singaporean is living out their rich heritage....
But still,knowing that somewhere out there,
there are still people who care,
who aren't ashamed of their culture,
who will carry the torch for future generations...
gives me hope.
"..as one united people,regardless of race,language or religion"
