GP DISCUSSIONS.

There are many culture in singapore because of the different religion and races of the people. More than 40% of Singaporeans practice Buddhism. About 15% practice Christianity (mostly Chinese and Indians), and 15% profess no religion. Muslims (mostly Malays) account for 14%. Smaller minorities practice Taoism, Sikhism, Hinduism, the Baha'i faith, and others.

Singapore is a mixture of an indigenous Malay population with a third generation Chinese majority, as well as Indian and Arab immigrants with some intermarriages. There also exist significant Eurasian and Peranakan (known also as 'Straits Chinese') communities. Singapore has also achieved a significant degree of cultural diffusion. One example is in Singaporean cuisine.Since the 1990s, the government has been striving to promote Singapore as a centre for arts and culture, and to transform the country into a cosmopolitan 'gateway between the East and West'. The highlight of these efforts was the construction of Esplanade.

Thus i can conculde that singapore is actually a very open country to have so many culture to come up as one. Singaporeans are very fornuate as we can actually learn alot more other culture other than our own.
