    Singapore 2020 International Religious Freedom Report

    SINGAPORE 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution, laws, and policies provide for religious freedom, subject to restrictions relating to public order, public health, and morality. The government continued to ban Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (Unification Church). It restricted speech or actions it perceived as detrimental to “religious harmony.” The government held 12 Jehovah’s Witnesses in the armed forces’ detention facility for refusing on religious grounds to complete mandatory national service. In December, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) detained a 16-year-old Christian male for planning to attack two mosques using a machete on the anniversary of the 2019 Christchurch, New Zealand mosque shootings. According to the ministry, the individual had been self- radicalized through online material, including the Christchurch attacker’s manifesto and ISIS videos of violence against Christians. The government stated the individual acted alone and did not try to influence or involve others in his attack plans. In February, the MHA launched an investigation into a local, unregistered chapter of the South Korean Shincheonji Church of Jesus the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shincheonji Church), which resulted in the deportation of five South Koreans and the dissolution of affiliated organizations. In November, authorities arrested 21 individuals for resuming activities of the church “covertly.” In June, police detained a permanent resident for posting comments to Instagram about wanting to kill Muslims. In September, police issued a warning to Workers’ Party Member of Parliament Raeesah Khan for social media posts she made in 2018 and May 2020, before she was a candidate for parliament, accusing the government of discrimination against religious and racial minorities.

    First Singapore Together Emerging Stronger Conversations for the Malay/Muslim Community Conducted Under Ciptasama@M³

    Issued on 7 Jan 2021 [UPDATED] MEDIA FACT SHEET FIRST SINGAPORE TOGETHER EMERGING STRONGER CONVERSATIONS FOR THE MALAY/MUSLIM COMMUNITY CONDUCTED UNDER CIPTASAMA@M³ The Singapore Together Emerging Stronger Conversations (ESCs) conducts its first session for the Malay/Muslim (MM) community through CiptaSama@M³. The SGT ESC x CiptaSama@M³ serves as a platform for the community to reflect on their COVID-19 experiences and issues they faced. Two sessions will be conducted in January to seek out ideas and suggestions to co-create solutions for a more cohesive, resilient and caring Singapore society. 2 Since the Singapore Together Emerging Stronger Conversations (ESC) commenced in June 2020, over 2,850 Singaporeans and community partners have participated in more than 45 ESCs organised by the Government. These conversations have yielded fruitful insights on the challenges and opportunities facing Singapore in a post-COVID-19 world, and on how we can emerge stronger from this crisis. As we work towards recovering from this pandemic, this spirit of participation and co-solutioning will help Singaporeans to chart a new path and emerge stronger. (i) Singapore Together Emerging Stronger Conversations (ESCs) 3 We have undergone a shared experience which will shape the attitudes and worldview of an entire generation. Through the ESCs, we want to draw this out and use these reflections as core elements on which to build an even stronger society. 4 At least 20 ESCs will be held between June 2020 and February 2021. In the spirit of Singapore Together, these ESCs are inclusive and accessible to all, including Singaporeans who may be more comfortable in Mother Tongue.

Meetings of the Sikh Advisory Board (SAB or Board) The Board, which has been appointed to serve a three-year term from November 2017 to October 2020, met for its second year of quarterly meetings as scheduled in 2019 on 13 February, 22 May, 14 August and 6 November. 2. Major Items discussed or addressed by the Board 2.1. Proposed Amendments to the SAB Rules Proposed amendments regarding a more equitable representation of the structure of the community and sustainability and diversity of the Board were submitted to the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) for consideration and final approval. The proposed amendments to increase the representation for the Central Sikh Gurdwara Board (CSGB) and the Gurdwara Sahib Yishun – from one to two members each - to ensure parity with other Gurdwaras, will remain. The MCCY asked the SAB to reword sections of the amendments with specific reference to diversity and gender. The MCCY advised the SAB to consider such amendments to be a part of any best practices guidelines rather than to be incorporated into the rules and regulations of the SAB as that will give the SAB more flexibility to review its diversity needs as and when needed. The revised document is now pending the Minister’s approval. If approved, the SAB will have 17 members on the Board when the new term begins in November 2020 instead of the current 15.

    As Delivered Ministerial Statement by Dr Tan See

    AS DELIVERED MINISTERIAL STATEMENT BY DR TAN SEE LENG, MINISTER FOR MANPOWER FOR THE PARLIAMENT SITTING ON 6 JULY 2021 Real Challenges, Real Solutions Mr Speaker 1 In his statement, Minister Ong Ye Kung has explained why FTAs are critical to Singapore, as well as how they have helped us to reap significant benefits for Singaporeans. The same goes for our openness to foreign workers. We take the same approach when we decide on foreign workers coming to work in Singapore: how does it help Singaporeans? 2 At the start of the 1970s, our GDP was $20 billion. Now, the economy has grown to $454 billion. Foreign workers account for around a third of our workforce. More than 2.3 million locals are employed, and our resident unemployment rate is 4.1%, half of what it was in 1970. 3 We need to understand the real challenges we face in order to have a constructive debate on the way forward. And that is why we are having these two Ministerial Statements. 4 I will explain with data and details exactly how our foreign workforce policies are implemented, in order to benefit Singaporeans. 5 I will also give our perspective on the real challenges we face, and the real solutions they demand. 1 AS DELIVERED FTAs and ICTs are a Red Herring 6 Assoc Prof Jamus Lim and Mr Leong Mun Wai asked for the number of intra- corporate transferees, professionals and dependants that come in through CECA. 7 Let me reiterate a point Minister Ong has made, which is that none of our FTAs, including CECA, gives intra-corporate transferees, or ICTs, unfettered access to our labour market.
