The Harmony in Diversity Gallery (HDG) was developed by the Ministry of Home Affairs in collaboration with community partners and organisations and it was officially launched by President Tony Tan on 2 September 2016.

Singapore is a multiracial and multicultural country consisting of Chinese, Malays, Indians and Eurasians. It is important that we learn and understand one another culture, beliefs and way of living to promote peace and harmony. We must also learn to respect one another, appreciate and to foster stronger and deeper relationships. As with our own experiences, we have good friends who are Malays, Indians and Eurasians. 

It is a good initiative by the Ministry of Home Affairs to set up a new centre for Harmony in Diversity Gallery to enable us to know more about our friends from other races, their lifestyles and religions.

Our Parenting World visited Harmony in Diversity Gallery (HDG) recently to find out more! The HDG comprises four galleries of exhibits, artefacts and interactive features.

Gallery 1: Journey of Faith features an interesting and interactive quiz to spark an interest in visitors with a series of questions and to find out their opinions on the country’s religious diversity and harmony.

Visitors can have fun engaging in a friendly competition with the interactive quiz and in the process also enhance their learning and understanding on Singapore’s multiracial and the diversity of religious belief systems co-existing in society. Find out how much you know about Singapore’s faith communities and you will be able to discover more about your thoughts on religious harmony and diversity at this interactive quiz station.

Singapore was not spared from religious tension and the “The Maria Hertogh Riots” is featured at the gallery to enable the younger generations to find out more about what happened in the 1950s. The riot happened on 11 December 1950 when the court decided that a child who had been raised by Muslims should be returned to her Catholic biological parents. A protest broke out as the Muslims were outraged and the riot lasted till noon on 13 December 1950 resulting in 18 people were killed and 173 injured and many properties were damaged. Through this incident, it is crucial to understand why it is important to build close relationship and to live in harmony among different races. 

This is a multimedia exhibit on the Maria Hertogh Riots showcasing newspapers features, video re-enactments and interviews on the riots.

Besides the Buddhism/Taoism, Islam, Hinduism and Christianity as its principal religions. It also has Sikhism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Baha’I, Jainism and the non-religious form the minority cluster.
