Singapore commonly known as "Food Paradise" is a multiracial society with people from different cultures living together in harmony.Chinese local dishes such as Char Kway Teow, Hainanese Chicken Rice and Fish Ball Noodles are some of the many mouth-watering dishes available here. Malay food such as nasi lemak and delicacies like Nyonya or Malay cakes can also be found. Furthermore, Indian foods such as the local 'roti prata' and curry puffs are also available in the mornings at the hawker centers. In addition to the local foods, Western foods are also widely available for the many Eurasians living in Singapore. Delicious steaks and fries available at a reasonable price are therefore greatly welcomed.

Reflections:
Although there are different race in Singapore, we, Singaporeans can try each types of the differnt races food.Though, we do not share the same language, we share our foods.To remain the good relationship between us, we must respect each of our culture but not saying bad words about the culture.With all this sharing and respect, i believe that we, Singaporeans can stay together as one united country.

This riot happened on 11 December 1950 in Singapore as the Muslims, who treated Maria as their own, were angry of the courts decision to give custody of Maria to her biological parents. Thus, most lent their support, financial and moral, to organizations that fought to keep Maria in Malaya while some seized opportunity to further weaken the colonial government's position in the region.

A video of the national day rally speech made by our prime minister , Mr Lee Hsien Loong on the 16th of August 2009 . The speech focus mainly on four key issues of Singapore which are HEALTHCARE , ECONOMONY , SOCIAL HARMONY AND THE SHAPING OF SINGAPORE .
Reflections :
The speech made by Mr Lee Hsien Loong is trying to tell the people of Singapore that Singapore is still stable despite the economic crisis. Mr Lee Hsien Loong chose to enphasize on the four key issues as these are the issues that the citizens of Singapore are concern about.

1964 race riots in Singapore
The 1964 Race Riots were a series of riots that took place in Singapore during two separate periods in July and September between Chinese and Malay groups.The first incident occurred on 21 July during a Malay procession that marked Muhammad's birthday. In total, the violence killed 36 people and injured another 556. About 3,000 people were arrested. The riots are also known as the Prophet Muhammad Birthday Riots, 1964 Racial Riots, and 1964 Sino-Malay Riots. At that time, Singapore was a state in the Federation of Malaysia.

Reflections:
The Prophet Muhammad Birthday Riots was happened at Padang, Singapore where about 25,000 Malays gathered there to celebrate the Muslim prophet Muhammad's Birthday on 21st July 1964. The Malays went on to Geylang after the speeches, eventually the group dispersed and there was a policeman whom asked the group that dispersed to rejoin the main crowd. Everything started because the policeman who was chinese asked the malays to rejoin their main. I think the riot was merely misunderstanding between the Chinese and Malays. Many people were sacrificed during the racial riots, lifes were lost innocently.
Lucky Singapore now is in the state of racial harmony. In order to prevent this riots between parties to occur, everyone must not be bias against anyone and also never criticise anyone.
