"Singapore must guarantee equality to minorities: Shanmugam
Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam says the country must ensure the safety, security and freedom of religion to all, including the Muslim community."
There is no doubt in my mind that the peace n harmony we hv over the last few decades were carefully guarded, worked at n with lots of deliberate interventions by the government. N the communities responded positively to them.
The principle of no criticism n negative comments abt other races, languages n religions is non-negotiable n always present!
Mixed schools r the standard without exception. The 4 official languages must also be present n inviolable.
Any attacks on any race, language n religion must be punished with heavy penalties.
The USA n the West must not be the example for us as their press n people had overemphasised 'freedom of speech without responsibilities' while team better approach has to ensure "responsible free speech". Attacking someone or some religion is a big NO NO.
Unfortunately, the recent mandating the next PE must be for the Malay candidates had signalled the equity is still fragile after 50 yrs of social engineering.
Maybe we need to promote intermingling between races n religious groups!!
Migrants must adopt the local practice n immersed in them instead of expecting the locals to adapt to them.
May racial n religious harmony be with us forever and ever!!
