Panel Discussion: Multiculturalism

• Participants
• Preamble'There seems to be a strong feeling among the non-Chinese community that there is more emphasis on Chinese and Chineseness, so much so that minorities are feeling that they are being marginalized. This panel on multicultural issues has been formed to examine the state of multiculturalism in Singapore.'
• Proceedings: We emphasize that the participants represent only their personal views and opinions in their individual capacity. Nothing on this site should be construed as official views of their respective affiliated institutions unless explicitly stated as being so.
• Reader's comments: There is no contradiction between wanting to maintain each culture's heritage while at the same time promoting unity. Singapore is a success story. 30 years of nation building have brought Singaporeans better living standards, high employment, low illiteracy, adequate representation from all ethnic groups and modern technology despite differences in culture that some countries are battling to achieve!
