Multiculturalism and Harmony
By applying strict norms of conduct, Singaporeans have achieved a prosperous society where very different communities have learned to live in peace and harmony. As a matter of fact, they have made of this peaceful coexistence the main feature of their national identity. Of all the communities living in Singapore, the Chinese is the largest and most influencial. The presence of the Chinese in the peninsula of Malasia dates back to the British colonial times. However, the Singapore of today is a very westernised society.
