KEEPING POLICIES ON RACE & RELIGION UP TO DATE
We need to keep our policies on race and religion up to date, because racial and religious harmony is not just delicate, but also dynamic.
Our values and beliefs as a society shift over time, and each new generation has its own perspective on racial issues.
Meanwhile, the world around us is changing. Singapore is highly exposed to external political developments, and we are influenced by external religious trends too.
Therefore, from time to time, we must adjust our policies on race and religion. But we should adjust based on our own needs, and we should do so with caution. We have to take the time to discuss respectfully, make sure everybody understands, and build a consensus before we make any move.
