| Summary: | In a commentary, SMU Associate Professor of Law Eugene Tan shared his views on the crucial role of civil society in Singapore’s fight against terrorism. He believed that “confidence-building and trust are needed to ensure Singapore and Singaporeans build its stock of adequate social capital and resilience to withstand threats to its social fabric.” Associate Prof Tan noted that it is important that top-down and bottom-up approaches be taken to ensure continuous dialogue and engagement in order to promote such trust. “The role of civil society is crucial. Civil society can be meaningfully inducted to enhance a society's capacity to deal with the harm, and infuse legitimacy and secure confidence in the measures taken,” added Associate Prof Tan. |
