Just wanna share something...
My sir was talking about terrorism to my squad and asked us why Singapore can't afford a terrorist attack (touch wood)...
My sqd gave many different answers like people is Singapore's most precious resource, our economy is important, we are a trading hub to SEA, our country is small so big impact, etc... my sir said all wrong... it took another 5 to 10 more minutes of thinking before someone said that it might disrupt Singapore's racial and religious harmony...
I interpret that moment as a very good thing... it seems that racial or religious profiling is way deep in the back of everybody's mind that it takes quite a while before someone realize its a possibility... and it seems that Singaporeans understand that muslim =/= terrorist
it saddens me how muslims are treated in western country
