In managing inter-faith relations, Singapore adheres to the principle of public reason. Among other things, public reason requires citizens to frame social and political arguments in a way that others would understand, if not agree with, regardless of their private religious beliefs. Singapore does not banish religion from the public sphere but it does not allow faith to monopolise that sphere. Ambassador Mohammad Alami Musa of RSIS said that the “uniqueness of Singapore’s practice of secularism lies in its clever application of the principle of being equidistant in accommodating the special needs and interests of the various religious groups, as well as in giving some space to religion in the public square without causing disharmony”.
