It is clear the younger generation takes a different approach to race relations and that deserves more attention, said Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam on Saturday (July 11).

Considering how this generation will be the country’s future leaders, he said: “We need to come to a framework that works for Singapore, that takes into account how people feel that there’s a different way of discussing these things beyond the traditional.

“We need to work out what the trade-offs are and see what’s the approach.”

Mr Shanmugam was speaking to reporters the day after the July 10 election during a walkabout to thank residents for the PAP’s win in Nee Soon GRC.

His remarks come in the wake of a closely fought campaign in the new Sengkang GRC, where the Workers’ Party (WP) secured 52.13 per cent of the votes against a People’s Action Party team led by labour chief Ng Chee Meng.
