This picture, taken on Orchard Road, represents a true picture of the streets of Singapore. Singapore has become a melting pot for every race, color and creed. It is predominantly Chinese but there are multitudes of many Asian races, Europeans, and Africans. I was sitting on the MRT (subway) and watching people communicate in at least four different languages. Thank God for me that English is the first language. Most people here speak two to four languages. The Singapore government promotes racial and religious harmony, in fact they legislate it with a religious harmony code. All religions are embraced but are discouraged to openly proselytize. It has forced the Christian church to build through relationships which is how it should be. Our communities have become "global" and it is quite evident as you observe all the people on the streets of Singapore.

Hi Mr. Timothy, I would like to use your picture in this blog for educational purpose. I'm just wondering if you could give me a permission to use the picture. Thank you.
