The Xinjiang hapened during july 2009. it was between Muslim Uighurs and Han Chinese.600-800 people deadIt was because of ethnic tensions between the Uighurs and Han Chinese.The situation in Xinjiang is terrible and it leaves one feeling in pain and pity. Countries with different races should learn to live with each other and not fight among themselves. They should practice Racial Harmony like us in Singapore. this helps us to create a better bond eith each other.

If this ever happened in Singapore, the first thing that should be done is to for the government to take control of the situation. maybe even enforce new rules to control the riot.

-The Tamil minority originated from India, immigrating to Sri Lanka between the 3rd century B.C. and the 13th century A.D
-many Indian Tamil becoming stateless
-Tamils only work in tea plantations which contributed significantly to the economy of Sri Lanka
-sinhalese made sinhala the oficial languge of sri lanka in 1972 which resulted in a rage for the tamil people as many did not know sinhala.(this affected thier work too)

SINGLISH

No, i do not think that singlish should be the oficial language in singapore. If it were to be the oficial language of singapore then it would be a little difficult for us to communicate with other countries it will also affect our future international ties. When one is used to a certain language he/she will slowly forget of the right way it is like a habit. Once your used to something you will slowly feel awkward using normal english. For example, south korea they put hangul as thier offical language and put english as thier second language this affects the country it makes it harder for them to talk fluently with the other country. Even for artist when they go overseas they will have a language barrier with their fans. There we should let this be a problem for the future. Although there is no international language, however it is a fact that english is the most common language internationally.

H1N1 is one of the many dangerous medical cases we have dealt with in Singapore. We have made an effort as a country before in 2003 and therefore we can do it again. We as a milt racial country should stick together and work as one to get over this crisis. As we are part of the country we are responsible in doing our part by doing responsible acts such as not spitting on the ground or littering randomly as these little acts are the cause of our new little minor diseases that slowly turns into something big that then will cause trouble for us as the residents. We ourselves find it a hassle as the economic crisis it makes it harder for us to cope. Especially those in a family with kids in school they need to get the thermometers and masks which apparently is getting harder to get as it has come to an extend where it was sold out nationwide. There in order to not have this hassle on us we should do our apart. If we were to continue with the poor unhygienic attitude we will be appalled by the results which definitely are not good. Therefore this shows that the condition of our world lies on our shoulders.
