Singapore Chronicles: Multiracialism

Straits Times Press

Regular price $14.95 SGD

This book discusses the significance of multiracialism as one of the central
components of nationhood in Singapore. It traces the manner in which race
relations have been understood, developed, and managed from the colonial
period to the present. Singapore’s national security strategy remains primarily
driven by the two conventional security concerns of protecting the country’s
sovereignty as well as maintaining public order. As such, a well-managed
policy of multiracialism with its normative goal of maintaining social harmony
is held to be key to the preservation of public order. In addition, multiracialism
is key to nation-building in Singapore.
