About this episode
What exactly makes someone Singaporean? It’s a question that has resurfaced in recent years, but came sharply into focus after news broke of Singaporeans missing in the Nepal-Tibet floods. While many expressed concern, some were quick to question whether the victims were “really Singaporean”, particularly those with Indian-sounding names. Against a backdrop of several viral incidents and online debates surrounding CECA and the Indian community in Singapore, the hostility has raised questions about how nationality itself becomes something people feel entitled to question. So, what can actually be done? We might have a solution, but it could be controversial.
