Racial Harmony Day falls on the 21 July in Singapore, and chances are, your little one’s school will mark the event with a mini-celebration.
Perhaps junior is performing on traditional Malay dance, or maybe she’s singing an old Chinese folk song. The school is also inviting the kids to attend class in ethnic outfits and share a little about their own culture.
Instead of dashing around the malls at the last minute to sniff out a traditional costume, check out one of these online stores for an assortment of qi pao, saris and baju kurong for your mini-me.
