It is clear that public trust plays a critical role in developing a
vibrant economy and a strong society. A reasonably high level of
public trust will enable the public, the Government, and the
various organisations and groups in the different sectors in
Singapore to work together to build a cohesive and adaptive
community. This means a community characterised by constructive
relationships embedded in positive economic, human, social,
political and psychological capital.Public trust is important
because it affects how people think, feel and behave. Trust takes
time to build, is easy to lose, and once lost is difficult to
restore. Trust is multi-dimensional, having to do with distinct
aspects relating to competence, integrity and benevolence. Trust is
also dynamic - it changes over time and the direction of change is
not pre-determined.Given how critical and complex the concept of
trust is, we need to have a valid and honest understanding of
trust, if we want to shed light on how and why public trust
changes, and how we can repair public trust violation and develop
public trust in Singapore.The book is organised into four parts.
Part 1 provides an overview of issues involved in thinking about
public trust. Part 2 examines public trust in the context of
upholding public accountability and discusses specific issues of
public transport in Singapore. Part 3 analyses the relationships
linking trust to social media analytics as well as healthcare. Part
4 addresses specific questions on public trust in Singapore in
terms of social harmony, race and religion, education, civil
society, social inequalities, dealing with differences and
disagreements, political leadership, and relationships between
people and government.This book will provide the reader new
perspectives and possibilities related to questions that have
become more salient in recent years as Singapore society underwent
significant changes that likely impact on the nature and level of
public trust.
