Racism & Racial Equality in Singapore

Title: Majority Minority.

After reading articles and doing research on topics about racism in Singapore and racial equality, I created a typographic poster playing with components like shape, size, space, and colour. I wish to emphasize on the importance of having racial equality in Singapore and how people need to put words into action and always remember being a majority or minority, we need to have mutual respect and carry onwards a harmonious society, just like what we recite in our pledge.

By creating this, I wish to create awareness. Awareness for us to have social conscious and mutual respect for one another, and that Singaporeans will continue to prosper together as one people and nation, striving towards a better tomorrow.

“We, the citizens of Singapore,
pledge ourselves as one united people,
regardless of race, language or religion,
to build a democratic society
based on justice and equality
so as to achieve happiness, prosperity
and progress for our nation.”

 

"In our case, the racial maths is quite stark. Seventy-four percent of our population is Chinese," he reiterated. "Our system of elections means majoritarianism can easily take hold. Remember, many aspects of our society are not normal."
