In multicultural Singapore, it is crucial to respect different cultures and beliefs.

And according to a Facebook post on April 6, one Muslim man earned praise for doing just that.

Mutual respect

In his post, Zahid Zin said that his wife's aunt married a man, Adi, who converted to Islam.

Adi's mother had recently passed away, and so, Zahid's family went to pay their respects at what appears to be a Taoist or Buddhist funeral.

There were also photos of Zahid at the funeral:

In his post, Zahid said that other peoples' "cultures and beliefs must be respected" as we live in a multicultural society.

He added that this was a good "teachable moment".

Praised for gesture

In response to the Facebook post, many commenters praised him for the gesture, emphasising the importance of religious harmony in Singapore.

Nice.
