Q5
After combining all the resources, I have found that riots mostly start because of racial tension. For example, the Maria Hertogh riots started after her Malay adoptive mother and the Malay community did not accept the ruling that Maria must return to her biological parents. There are usually disputes between members of different races and some of them turned deadly, like the Maria Hertogh riots. That is why there is a need for racial harmony so that people of different races can live together harmoniously and reduces the chances of racial riots
