Overall trust between racial groups in Singapore and appreciation for diversity have grown. That’s according to a recent study by the Institute of Policy Studies and racial harmony advocacy group OnePeople.sg, which also found a dip in reports of racial discrimination at work across the board compared with the previous study.
However, stereotyping went up and an area of concern highlighted was the decline in cross-racial friendships from 2018 to 2024.
On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr Mathew Mathews, Head of Social Lab & Principal Research Fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies shares more insights from the study.
