Cameron Sumpter and Jennifer Yang Hui, respectively a Research Fellow and an Associate Research Fellow from RSIS said that blame games and misinformation during the pandemic are both highlighting and deepening divisions. They added that while subversive groups appeal to frustrations and exploit gaps in state-led responses, civil society organisations are stepping in to provide where the state falls short.
