As of 2010, only 67% of Singaporeans say they have close friends of a different race, religion or nationality. I feel that this is really a pity though Singapore is mostly made up if Chinese (74.2% of Singapore's population is Chinese - 2009 figures). In that case, a non-Chinese would have to have at least 3 Chinese friends to reach a 100% figure. That is, of course, possible. I feel that we still need to understand other races even though we are the majority as it would be easy to misunderstand someone if you did not understand their culture and religion. Moreover, to understand someone else's religion would be taking the 1st step to forming good life-long relationships with that person
