Buddhism is the main religion in Singapore, closely followed by Christianity. Islam is also an important religion and is practised by a significant proportion of the population.
In sacred places, it is important to follow certain rules and appropriate behaviour out of respect for the religious beliefs and practices of the faithful. In particular, it is expected to dress decently, covering shoulders and knees. Shorts, short skirts and low-cut tops are not appropriate. It is often customary to take off one's shoes. Silence and discretion are also essential. Finally, be sure to follow any instructions/rules posted in these areas.
The main festivals are Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Pusa (Muslim festival marking the end of Ramadan), Deepavali (Hindu festival celebrating lights), Hari Raya Haji (Muslim festival marking the end of the pilgrimage to Mecca) and Christmas.
