Singapore does not really have a religion or community of its own. It is made up of small fragments of Indians, Chinese, Malays and a few other European communities. Belonging to Hinduism, Islamism, Christianity, Buddhism and other religions, these people celebrate their fairs and festivals with great pomp and show.
