Joan Pereira on racial harmony and constitutional amendment bills

The Maintenance of Racial Harmony Bill provides important and crucial updates to Singapore’s legislation to uphold racial harmony in an increasingly polarised global environment, said MP Joan Pereira. Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday (Feb 4), she said it will support law enforcement and enhance clarity for the public, as well as set the safety parameters for respectful interactions and greater understanding. She stressed the need to remain vigilant and guard against attempts to weaken or harm Singapore’s hard-earned unity among the different racial groups.
