Blog-Writing Prompt #2

In your opinion, has enough been doen to combat racism? How do you think racism can be dealt with in Singapore

In my opinion, I feel that enough has been done to combat racism in Singapre. The Singapore government had clamped down hard on people who post racist comments on the net or make racist comments in public. Hefty fines and jail terms were the severe punishments for racists. I also think that racism in Singapore can be further dealt with by imposing even severe punishments such as caning for the offenders. Also educating the young citizens from young is also very essential.

Whereas, in other parts of the world, I feel that efforts to combat racism in not enough. In a certain neighbouring country, there are many people who go on the net and post racist comments and get away with it, as long as the comments did not offend the majority race of the country, because most of the government officials are of the same race and religion.
