You do realize that one of the core reasons the country EXISTS as a separate entity (kicked out of Malaysia) was because of race riots, don't you?

I don't even know of any other countries where race riots have played a greater role in the country's history.
Unique indeed.
>it's important to note, happened after someone was run over by a bus, was predominantly not involving singaporeans (mostly foreign workers), and involved a lot of alcohol.
It's important to note that the itinerant foreign workers are treated like shit and the reason they rioted was because the ambulance took forever and the guy who was ran over was dead by the time it came.
Alcohol was simply the fuel for the anger created by that.
But yea, racial harmony and all that.
