Minister for Home Affairs, Mr. K. Shanmugam, has said that racial and religious harmony in Singapore should not be taken for granted. He was speaking at the 85th anniversary celebration of the Parish of Christ Church in Little India.
“The law will maintain peace; social and religious leaders should unite people,” said Mr. Shanmugam. He added that the church’s good works help maintain unity among Singaporeans.
The event was held at Coastal Gardens last night. Minister Shanmugam and Mr. Alvin Tan, Minister of State for National Development and Minister of State for Trade and Industry, were in attendance. The CEOs of SINDA and Sree Narayana Mission were also present.

Christ Church, located on Dorset Road, has a long history, as described by Pastor Steven Ashirvathama. It was founded on October 18, 1940, and was the first Anglican church established for Tamils in Singapore.
