According to a survey on racial and religious harmony in Singapore, 8.2 percent of Indian respondents stated that they felt they were treated worse than other ethnicities in Singapore when at school or an educational institution. In general, Indian respondents felt more discriminated against than Chinese respondents, but less so than Malay 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.
