The terms “Harmony” and “Social Cohesiveness” are often used interchangeably, but they mean differently. Join The Sessions as it invites Mr Viswa Sadasivan, CEO of Strategic Moves, for a lively debate with USP students on the correlation between these two ideas. Whilst harmony has benefitted society in terms of stability and economic growth, continued stress on this can and will erode the trust between Singaporean communities. Faults could appear along racial and socio-economic lines amongst others. We would need to find appropriate ways to deepen public trust and acceptance (beyond tolerance), without necessarily eroding the harmony we have achieved over the years.
