What Defines Our National Identity: How Class & Race Shapes Belonging | Being Singaporean - Part 1/2

Описание: Through humour and heartfelt conversations, Singaporean comedian Rishi Budhrani explores what defines the Singaporean identity today.

Meeting pioneers who recall the nascent days of the nation and teenagers receiving their identity cards, Rishi traces how belonging first took root. Social experiments expose how class and opportunity affect one’s sense of belonging, while candid roundtables reveal that minorities often feel their race conflicts with national identity, even as they feel most deeply rooted here.
Interwoven with expert insights and real stories, this episode asks: in a changing world, what keeps us calling this little island home?
