Social Defence
ReplyDelete- The riots were caused when the High Court decided that Maria who had been raised by Muslims during the war should be returned to her biological Catholic parents. This outraged the Muslims which eventually escalated to a riot.
- It is important for Singaporeans to practice social defence as Singapore is a mulch-ethnic and multi-religious society. If there has tensions between the different races, it would pose a serious problem in Singapore. Having strong social defense is to ensure that such racial riots or internal conflicts do not tear the country apart.
