Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | National University of Singapore | Citation: | Teo Kay Key (2019). Singapore National Identities 2015 – Chinese Texts : 1-18. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | The dominant discourse in 2015 is “A Strong Nation”. Both masses and elites agree that Singapore has come very far as a small nation. Its achievement of progressing from third world to first as an independent country is attributed to a united population, the strategic usage of diplomacy, and being a strong survivor. However, there is no consensus in terms of the path forward, as shown in the other three discourses of “Responsive Government”, “Political Conservatism”, and “Diverse Society”. Even though masses and elites agree on the objectives that society should strive towards, they disagree on the efficacy of current efforts as well as the approaches taken to meet societal objectives. | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/236071 |
