We celebrate by

1. Education and Awareness: Schools can incorporate multicultural education into the curriculum to teach students about different cultures, histories, and traditions. This helps promote understanding, respect, and appreciation for diversity. Celebrating cultural heritage months or organizing cultural festivals can also create opportunities for students to learn about and celebrate different racial and ethnic backgrounds.

2. Inclusive Environment: Schools should strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where all students feel valued and respected. This can be achieved by promoting inclusive policies, fostering positive relationships among students, and actively addressing any incidents of discrimination or prejudice.

3. Dialogue and Discussion: Encourage open and honest dialogue about race and diversity. Schools can facilitate discussions, workshops, or forums where students can share their experiences, perspectives, and concerns regarding racial issues. Engaging in respectful conversations about race helps promote understanding and empathy among students.

4. Collaboration and Cooperation: Encourage students from different racial backgrounds to collaborate on projects, group activities, or community service initiatives. This promotes teamwork, breaks down barriers, and encourages students to appreciate each other's strengths and contributions.

5. Cultural Exchange Programs: Organize cultural exchange programs where students can learn about each other's cultures, traditions, and customs. This can involve inviting guest speakers, organizing field trips to cultural events or museums, or establishing partnerships with schools from different racial or ethnic backgrounds.

6. Anti-Racism Initiatives: Implement anti-racism initiatives within the school community. This can include workshops on implicit bias, diversity training for staff, and promoting zero-tolerance policies against racism and discrimination.

Singapore is a multi-racial and multi-religious society. Therefore, racial and religious harmony is vital for Singapore's social cohesion. This harmony does not come naturally – we need to take the effort to build trust, and acceptance between different races and religions, and protect the common space that we have.

The Important Message signal is one of three public warning signals and is sounded to alert the population to an important broadcast.The minute-long exercise will take place at 6.20pm on Wednesday, to "remind us that we need to stand resilient and do our part to protect Singapore and our future", said SCDF. 

The signal will be sounded through a network of public warning system sirens placed throughout Singapore.

It will also sound for smartphones that have the SGSecure mobile app downloaded and are not on silent or vibration mode. The signal will automatically stop after 20 seconds. 

When members of the public hear the Important Message signal, they should tune in immediately to any local radio station or free-to-air TV channel for a brief message on the public warning system, said SCDF in a news release on Monday. 

A message will also appear on smartphones via the SGSecure mobile app. Those who miss the message can visit go.gov.sg/pws to know more about the signals. 

Feb 15 is Total Defence Day, the day Singapore fell to the Japanese in 1942.

Each year, the Important Message signal of the public warning system is sounded to commemorate the day.

The sounding and broadcast message are part of SCDF’s efforts to familiarise the public with public warning system signals, and to raise awareness on how the public should react upon hearing them.

The purpose of the public warning system is to alert the public to imminent threats to lives and property, whether originating from air, land, sea or natural or man-made disasters.
