A lack of emotional intelligence will cause disharmony within a country. Understanding each other by people is the foundation of a harmonious society. For countries like Singapore where many races live and work together, understanding and empathy are main factors for people of different races and religions to contribute to the country’s healthy growth. For example, the Indians usually add various kinds of spices into their food. Consequently, some special odor come out from their bodies. It is common that not every one like these kinds of odor. However, one should try their best to accept theirs eating habit, at least do not say anything negative about it. Because of different regions people originally came from, showing respect for others’ religions is a necessity. Giving Muslim pork is an insult. Moreover, religion has always been the one which causes debates, wars and civil strife. Thus, if people cannot give capacity for others, the country will get into trouble. As a result, emotional intelligence is so important for a country and society’s harmony and growth.

Thanks, Jenny, for this post. I understand what you want to say: With emotional intelligence, people have more understanding and empathy, and thus, become more tolerant of the differences between themselves and others. Your idea is good but there are some odd sentence structures. For example: "Because of different regions people originally came from, showing respect for others’ religions is a necessity." The two clauses in this example are a strange together. Can you see why?
In any case, thank you for your hard work!
Only one trivial point:
For countries like Singapore where many races live and work together,--> it's better to say "multiracial society" so as to avoid repetition with "people of different races and religions".
