According to a survey on racial and religious harmony in Singapore, 79.2 percent of Chinese respondents stated that they trusted Singaporean Chinese to help them if Singapore faced a national crisis. Most of the respondents trusted their own ethnicities most to help them in times of crisis. Distrust between ethnicities does not bode well for Singapore. Singapore is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society, with citizens categorized into four main ethnic groups, known as CMIO: Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Others. Those categorized under the "Others" include Eurasians, Caucasians, Arabs, and Filipinos, among others.
