Recent racist incidents draw attention to the state of Singapore’s multiracialism and social cohesion. It is necessary to better understand how we can sustain dialogue on race beyond the trigger events; how we might enable constructive discussions about race across social segments; and whether we should arrive at a collective consensus on what is considered acceptable or unacceptable behaviour in relation to race.

The IPS-RSIS Forum on Race and Racism in Singapore aims to discuss issues of race and racism in Singapore from multiple angles.

The keynote speaker at the event will be Mr Lawrence Wong, Minister for Finance. Invited panellists will include academics and practitioners experienced in the public discourse on race and racism in Singapore.
