You’ve heard it again and again: we are a multi-racial country. But in this special edition of WHAT’S UP, the newspaper for students, you will see multi-racial Singapore like you’ve never seen it before. You’ll meet a bunch of cool Singaporeans who don’t even need Racial Harmony Day to remind them about racial harmony because they already love it and live it. They know that Singapore’s diversity makes us stronger and a whole lot more interesting. They enjoy discovering other cultures, while cherishing their own. And they don’t let race, language or religion get in the way of putting together a winning team*
A copy of this special edition of WHAT'S UP can also be found in our Publications section.
