Entry 7: Festivals in Singapore

I celebrate Chinese New Year once a year.I celebrate Chinese New Year because I am a chinese and every race should have their own celebrations.i celebrate Chinese New Year by giving mandrin oranges and reciving Red packets called ang Baos.The other festivals are Hari Raya Puasa and. national day.Hari Raya Puasa is a very important occasion that is celebrated by Muslims all over the world. It is also known as the festival that marks the end of one month of fasting. The words ‘Hari Raya’ mean 'day of celebration.' Many mistake Hari Raya Puasa for the Muslim New Year but it is not. National Day is celebrate by every single Singporean.We celebrate National Day once a year is to tell uorselfs that Singpore has grown 1 year older.I think the celebration of the various festivals help in strengthening racial harmony among the various race in Singapore as different races can tell one another how they celebrate their own festivals.We can develop stronger bonds among the various races in Singapore by getting to know each other races.
