According to a survey on racial and religious harmony in Singapore, 2.8 percent of Chinese respondents stated that they felt they were treated worse than other ethnicities in Singapore when at a social service agency. In general, Chinese respondents felt less discriminated against than Malay or Indian respondents.
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. Those from an ethnic Chinese background make up the majority of the population in Singapore.
