Singapore's demographic diversity was the driving force for the
country's founding leaders as they forged a nation. They sought to
navigate the many differences in the country's ancestral, social
and cultural affiliations even as they embarked on the urgent task
of nation-building. A decade into the new century, many of the
country's traditional understandings of differences are being
challenged, even as new differences, spawned by immigration, new
media and globalisation, emerge.The Singapore Perspectives 2014
conference considered the consequences of both historical and
emergent differences, based on the understanding that race,
language, religion, economic status, age and countries of origin
will continue to shape Singapore's society and economy. The
conference proceedings contain contributions from prominent
speakers such as Singapore Minister of State for Education Sim Ann,
Associate Professor Kwok Kian Woon, Dr Leslie Teo, Professor David
Chan and the points of debate on the question whether consensus or
contest will underpin Singapore's future from Professors Kishore
Mahbubani and Chua Beng Huat.
