The IRCC @ Heartlands is a series of roadshows that aim to promote public awareness of IRCC and to promote inter-racial and religious understanding in the community. Working on the theme of “Different Races, Many Beliefs, One Nation”, the roadshows, which are rotated at different locations throughout the year, promote racial and religious harmony via exhibitions, booths and games showcasing the diverse religions in Singapore. 

You will have a chance to find out about the origins, beliefs, practices and customs of the displayed religions through hands-on participation and explanations from the representatives from the religious booths. 

The IRCC@Heartlands at Albert Mall will be the fourth roadshow in the series. Spearheaded by Kampong Glam, Radin Mas and Tanglin Cairnhill IRCCs, the participating religious organisations are: 

• Al-Falah Mosque, 
• Baha’i Centre, 
• Central Sikh Temple, 
• Kampong Kapor Methodist Church, 
• The Singapore Buddhist Lodge, 
• Sri Krishnan Temple
