A recent survey found that some 15 per cent of Singaporeans found Muslims threatening, and that those who live in private housing were more likely to think this way (15% of respondents find Muslims threatening, March 29).
This points to one striking, positive inference: The Government's policy of racial integration in public housing has been remarkably successful. The Housing Board's racial quota on housing seems to have worked wonders in promoting interracial integration. https://www.nana1004.com Singaporeans of all races, religions and denominations are now interacting with one another daily, and this has led to the weaving of a cohesive national identity. People living in private properties may not have as much a chance of living alongside people of different races and gaining first-hand knowledge about others. They may also be relying on third-party information through foreign news streams and social media to form opinions about other races. As it is not practical to implement racial quotas on private properties, the solution lies in creating more opportunities and spaces for people of all walks of life to interact through schools, hospitals and community spaces. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/PIKFSAGSQSPKVCLPTAYP6K5O5O77GIJF/
