New programme aims to strengthen social resilience

Laws to curb misinformation can never be completely fail-safe and young people must learn to scrutinise information carefully, says Law Minister and Second Minister for Home Affairs Edwin Tong. Speaking at the launch of a new programme promoting racial and religious cohesion, he warned against being swayed by outrage or emotion, and called for society to move beyond tolerance to embracement. The initiative aims to engage youths on extremism and the risks of the digital space, as Singapore works to strengthen social resilience. Nadirah Zaidi reports.
