Issues of migration, citizenship, multiculturalism, and nationalism have featured prominently in both our politics and elections. Across two episodes with Dr. Rebecca Tan of the National University of Singapore, we take a deep dive into these issues. Fundamentally, she asks, what is fair and what is right? And how do we treat individuals more equitably?

In this second episode, we zoom into five key events in Singapore’s past decade: First, GE2011; second, the 2013 Population White Paper; third, the 2013 Little India Riot; fourth, the focus on the 10-million population figure during and after GE2020; and fifth, COVID-19 and the plight of migrant workers. After analysing these events, Dr. Tan highlights data challenges and how all the issues – cumulatively – could feature in the next general election.
