Louis Ng on racial harmony and constitutional amendment bills

05:57 Min

Race and religion are distinct matters for which context, considerations and nuances differ. Representatives from major racial communities may not be best placed to opine on religious matters and vice versa. Making these points in Parliament on Tuesday (Feb 4), MP Louis Ng asked why a combined Presidential Council for Racial and Religious Harmony is being set up rather than two separate councils. He also wanted to know what programmes are available to rehabilitate offenders in egregious racial crimes, who will not be eligible for community-based remediation.
