Why do people react sensitively to religious issues?

People react sensitively to religious issues because in a multi-ethnic country and also as a smallest country in south-east Asia, we, regardless of religion or race, should be united so that our country can prosper and develop as any other larger country out there .If religious issues are not handled carefully, hostility and distrust among the people might occur, thus affecting the relationships among different religious groups.

For a small country we cannot afford to fight among each other but work together to bring our country higher. By working together we must see ourselves as one. We must understand each other race and religion and respect the different cultures. We must also have trust in each other and be loyal to our country. Thus, if religion is an issue that leads to violence, all said cannot be done and Singapore would not be able to grow , our economic , tourism and investors will drop as many things would be damaged.
