Singapore's multiracial ideals remain a work in progress, minister says

Singapore's multiracial ideals are a work in progress, and the nation's stability is not guaranteed, according to Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam. He stated that while Singapore has strived for unity in diversity for over 60 years, minorities still report experiencing racism and discrimination, and future leaders must avoid identity politics to prevent societal ruin. Singapore's founding fathers deliberately chose a different path than most nations, establishing policies to preserve cultural heritage while fostering intergroup understanding and a common identity.
