About this event

With youth civic engagement in Singapore, a divide appears to be growing between government and ground efforts. The government sees some ground efforts as too radical, and in turn co-opts individuals and groups who complement rather than challenge its agenda. Conversely, those on the ground are critical of a government perceived as too slow, too conservative, and perhaps even immutable.

Tension has intensified following the COVID-19 pandemic and GE2020, culminating in contrasting visions of a post-pandemic Singapore. Leading up to both events, youth civic engagement was already accelerated by: First, social media and the Internet; second, issue-based advocacy and community building; third, increased awareness of socio-economic and racial inequalities; as well as fourth, the long-term influence of compulsory volunteerism.

Drawing from past research and podcast interviews recorded during the lockdown and the general elections, this session will explore arguments for the growing divide - ideological and fundamental, political, substantive, and representation - and consider implications for social and public policies in the future
