It was interesting to see how Singaporeans responded when a crazy man decided to go sending pork around to different mosques – very rationally, as it turns out.
You can watch my coverage here:
I think this is interesting because it showcases how far Singapore has evolved as a civil society – a place where this kind of thing, inflammatory as it is, doesn’t result in street protests or people casually and spontaneously fighting, but rather in solidarity across races and religions and a time of increased resilience rather than of tension.
Of course, that’s just what we see on the surface and we have no idea what’s happening within the souls of people, but I can safely say that that’s the energy.
Comparing that to what we see in Malaysia is like comparing night to day, darkness to light.
Well, as people do say…
On certain occasions, you must create your own light.
I will try.
