Good that Racial and Social Identities are Discussed Openly
In a letter to The Straits Times forum, reader Mabel Low referred to the article titled “Racial, social identities will continue to pose a challenge, observers say,” published on Jan 14. Two quotes in the article could have been given more context and clarified, she said. The first is a quote by Non-Resident Ambassador Mohammad Alami Musa, who heads the Studies in Inter-Religious Relations in Plural Societies Programme at the RSIS. The quote was on how the “people of no religion… are going to (want to) have a seat at the table, because they believe that even without religion… (they) have the wisdom and this moral sensibility to contribute to public reason and morality” and that this might be contested by religious groups.
