[yperic]

Race and religion have always played a delicate role in Singapore’s politics. But have we been handling them the right way?

This podcast is friend of pap one la. And the question probably prepped and screened beforehand. As usual when shamm goes on tiktok or this type of "podcast" it's more of him pushing out his narrative and point rather than being interviewed.

Same like last time he hang the drug mule, suddenly go on podcast & tiktok frenzy to tell everyone he is right

Disclaimer: not that I'm saying he's wrong to do that, but it's more of the labelling of hard questions of the podcast rather than shamm giving a speech

I agree with what the late Mr LKY said. Chinese /Confucianist societies like China, HK and Taiwan, Japan, Jaren't rocked by the religious tensions we see in countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Yemen and in some parts of India.
