So on the 21st July, our company celebrated Racial Harmony Day.
A brief history about Racial Harmony Day:
The event is to commemorate the 1964 Race Riots, which took place on 21 July 1964.
Racial Harmony Day also represents a day for schools to reflect on, and celebrate Singapore's success as a racially harmonious nation and society built on a rich diversity of culture and heritage. In schools all across the nation on that day, students are encouraged to be dressed in their traditional costumes such as the Cheongsam, the Baju Kurung and Punjabi suit. [extracted from Wikipedia]
Staff were required to wear traditional costumes and I'm we were all spontaneous enough!
And it was honestly pretty fun because I never had the chance to wear other races' costumes.
