According to a survey on racial and religious harmony in Singapore, 5.1 percent of respondents who were categorized as of 'Other' ethnicities stated that they felt they were treated worse than other ethnicities in Singapore when at the court. In general, 'Other' respondents felt more discriminated against than Chinese respondents, but less so than Malay and 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.
