Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong stressed that race politics is a clear no for the PAP government.
Responding to a question at a youth forum on the extent politics and race must be kept separate, DPM Wong said that the PAP government would do its best to keep such politics out of Singapore.
“…Anytime you bring race, money into politics, you change the tone of politics and I think it will bring us into a direction that I don't think will be good for the country at all.”
On the issue of policies relating to race, DPM Wong said that ignoring race and diversity in policymaking might make things worse. Racism does exist in Singapore, he noted, and we have to continually work at it to become a more perfect multiracial society.
