social cohesion

Singapore: New Poor & Social Cohesion(Society)
Challenges that Singapore faces :
A generation of materialistic orientated policies of the incumbent People's Action Party government has resulted in certain social costs which Singaporeans now have to bear. This is the phenomenon of relative poverty identified as the 'new poor' in Singapore which has lead to an absence of bonds between people and a loss of ownership over the policy making process. It suggests initiating wide public consultation to find out what Singaporeans want and how they would like to rectify the problem.
