What were the causes of the race riots?
What were the causes of the race riots?Different kinds of reasons have been cited for causing the riots .. but to me , i feel that it was all due to lack of understanding among the racial groups that create the suspicion and unhappiness among the people . With all the misunderstandings among them ... leading to the riots contributed to the flight of the middle class out of the city into the suburbs. The lack of a strong middle-class and the high concentration of poverty in the city continues to plague it economically and socially. The area is plagued with drugs and prostitution, with a high homicide incident rateriots . In my point of view ,differences in religious beliefs and practices are also issues that can be used to create tension among the people in Singapore . Besides , misunderstanding occurs in the sitation too ... Also, the irresponsible media reporting and a trigger like the issue of race can cause suspicion , distrust , and even hostility among Singaporeans too.
