Our Singlish is more than just slang — it's a beautiful mix of English, Mandarin, Malay, Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Tamil and many other languages, reflecting generations of living, learning and growing together.
We celebrate different races, religions, languages and traditions, yet we laugh at the same jokes, queue for the same hawker food, complain about the same weather, and somehow end every conversation with "lah", "lor", "leh" or "meh".
So this Racial Harmony Day, let's continue to:
- Respect one another
- Celebrate our differences
- Learn from every culture
- Build friendships across every community
