Singapore's racial and religious diversity can be an advantage and source of strength for the Republic on the world stage at a time when polarisation is on the rise, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat said yesterday.

Mr Heng was at a dialogue with over 60 South East District residents at the launch of the Faithful Footprints interfaith heritage trail.
