Ep 718#713 ft. Janadas Devan - The Absurdity of a Singaporean Identity and the Fragility of Cohesion
Janadas Devan, Chairman of the Singapore International Foundation’s (SIF) Board of Governors, reflects on Singapore’s 60-year journey from unexpected independence to forging a national identity. He recalls how leaders like Lee Kuan Yew and S. Rajaratnam once doubted Singapore’s survival, and we discuss the impact of policies, lived experiences, and institutions have had on social cohesion in Singapore. We also talk about current strains on social capital - from inequality to immigration and social media, and why he still believes in the future of Singapore.
