With a burgeoning migrant community, the advent of integrated resorts with casinos and an arguably increasingly effervescent non-profit, civil society sector, Singapore looks to be a society that is rapidly opening up.

She shares with Social Space, her thoughts on the indispensable ingredients for openness and political engagement in a society that wants to be truly global. |
