This policies helped USA in many ways.
But how about Singapore? How can we learn from USA ?

Well, i think that Singapore can improve by promote Racial Harmony in a special way, so citizens of Singapore
can remember it well. Also we can have a day in Singapore that different people eats different food, also let
Singaporeans experience different cultures to let them understand different cultures and also prevent
Racism too.
