"I treasure my non-chinese friends though I do not have alot . Without Racial Harmony we will have lots of riots ... my father said during one riot ( I forgot which one ), his parents were very worried and told him and his sibilings to hide and the room and lock the door for safety . I do not want to experience that , not going to school to see my teachers and friends . And without Racial Harmony we would not have any chance to have friends from different races and the opportunity to wear and try out the different races traditional costumes :D" - Zheng Xuan

I feel that i am lucky to leave in singapore as there is very little racism here, all thanks to Racial Harmony!
I treasure the respect towards other races about Racial Harmony.If we do not have respect,we will have riots almost every day.I am very glad that I am born in Singapore which do not have any races riots.
The reminder to not forget to value harmony
I treasured the peace that Singaporeans maintained throughout these years. I hope it will still maintained for the years after. But one thing that we are not sure is the insultation. Maybe we were in the same lift with a Indian and after we came out of lift. One may said," Eww, that man was so smelly!" This kind of things happen and may cause the misunderstanding between each races. I do treasure the relationship with my neighbour although I don't see them often. I wish everyone will make an effort to maintain this peace. Nowaday, beacause of the terrorism, all of us are becoming more and more cautious, but hope it does not make the misunderstanding as what Mr Lee Hsien Long and Mr Lee Kuan Yew have said.
I treasure the moments I share with my multi-racial friends usually during soccer games.
I treasure the friendship between different races.
I treasure my neighbors and love living in Singapore.
I treasure it as it provide peace.Why attack?It only cause riots,wars and unhappieness!And what do they lead to?DEATH!
I treasure the peace and respect between the different races.
I treasure... my non-chinese friends and the peacefulness we have in Singapore! Why? We were once 'enemies' from the past , riots and killings were common in our streets, but, we finally set aside our differences! And we had racial harmony and peace in city. Until today, racial harmony still remains-though some of us might be a little insulting to the other non-chinese... Let us hope that our future generations tresure racial harmony and peace in Singapore, as some other countries do not have what we have today.
I repect and treasure my non-chinese neighbors,i felt lucky to lived in singapore.
I am happy that I live in a country without riots.(although it has quite a few in the past.)But I truly wish that Singapore can maintained its peace if not there will be lots of arguments or riots among the races.(if without racial harmony, of course.)
HAPPY RACIAL HARMONY!!!!!!!XD
I think that in the last time there were alot of riots. Now, we have alot more peace as we have Racial Harmony in Singapore and every Singaporeans tresure this day. All poeple from all races in Singapore will get together and celebrate this speacial day which only Singapore has.
I treasure my non-chinese friends, teachers and neighbours. Without Racial Harmony, the riots in the history will become reality once again.d^_^b
I treasure all the non-chinese friends I have,especially my American and South-American friends, and that Singapore is a country that many tourists and business people come that come and settles here.
I trasure all my friends even though they are other racials.I hope there is no riots in the future and what is the point of fighting, it will end u losing their love ones and more hatred.
I treasure the good food and the racial harmony here. If there are no racial harmony in Singapore, riots and killings happening on the streets will be common. I do not wish that history repeats, innocent will be killed. If we all do not live in harmony together, the other races would not want to sell their food to us and we cannot enjoy a great variety of food. I think Singapore is a 'Food Paradise' because of this. But we should not take everything for granted, we still have to do our part in protecting the harmony between races in Singapore. All of us have a part. Let us not let our ancestors efforts go down the drain.
I teasure the value of racial harmony as it is very important.In other countries riots are rather common and many are killed i feel so lucky to live in Singapore.We should also respect the people of other races and stop insulting them and calling them names as it is extremely rude.
I treasure the fact that people from other races and myself can get along together very well.All this due to Racial Harmony.
What I treasure about Racial Harmony in Singapore is that I am free to make new friends from other races. I can about also learn more about their culture.
Most inportantly, riots will not appear and cause more problems for us.
I treasure friends from other races, I treasure the peace we have and I treasure that we have racial harmony. According to the internet, some countries still have riots or bombing and I would not like to experience that.. I feel lucky to live in Singapore. =D
With racial harmony,there are less riots in Singapore.People in all races celebrate this special day with friends from other countries.
I will treasure the friendship between all my non-chinese friends around me.

Racial Harmony taught me that keeping good relationship with other races
I treasure the friendship and respect between my non-chinese friends, teachers. Singapore is very lucky because there is very little racism here. i can learn more about the culture of other races through racial harmony. Singapore does not have any races riots and war (except in the past) because Singapore treasure racial harmony. Racial harmony is important because without it, Singapore will have riots and wars that kills people. =[
