1a) What are the 4 rules for religious harmony?
-Maintain the common space that all Singaporeans share
-Government must remain secular
-Keep religion separate from politics
-All groups have to exercise tolerance and restraint

b) In your opinion, how can we maintain a common space in schools?
We can share our religious to maintain common space ,different school are examples of common space where all races and religions interact. Even in mission schools run by religious groups, the Ministry of Education has set clear rules, so students of all faiths will feel comfortable. My school have been emphasising on creating a common space for students of different races.

2) Do you respect other religions? Why or why not? What do you think of children who stay away from their parents' funerals because they believe the traditional rites are against their new religion?
Yes, Sometimes, a person who wants respect is simply asking for tolerance. The minimal definition of tolerance is a state where one has the power to punish, restrict, or make something difficult but consciously chooses not to. Thus I may tolerate the barking of a dog even if I have the ability to stop it. When it comes to non-violent, consensual behavior, religious believers’ demand for tolerance is usually reasonable and should be granted. It’s rare, though, that this is all that is desired.

I detest kids who go againest or stay away from their parents' funerals as seen to some fresh religions. It is because if they were still around us, they will not accept it as we were disrespected and betrayed with both of our parents and religions. though they are dead and are not around anymore, we still have to be close with them by visiting their funerals, even though we have less right in believing the traditional rites which are against our new religion.
