Living and growing up in multiracial and multi-religious Singapore, it never comes as a surprise when your neighbours turn out to be of a different race as compared to yourself. In fact, it's something you welcome; something would feel amiss otherwise. Whether Indian, Muslim, Chinese, Eurasian, or whether you choose to display that fact in the form of decorations at your doorstep, living close to and interacting with people of other races is something that can never be removed from the life of a person living in Singapore.
