Children were given an insightful information on how this occasion is celebrated through understanding what racial harmony is about and visiting different booths that include fun-filled cultural activities.
Children had the opportunity to visit the Indian, Chinese, Malay, Eurasian and Filipino cultural booths, and were eager to find out more about the uniqueness of these cultures. They had an enriching cultural experience through hands-on activities such as exploring different Indian spices, performing Tai-chi, participating in Malay traditional games as well as moving to the rhythm of Eurasian and Filipino music.
