1. This Is What Inequality Looks Like
Essays on Singapore
This insightful book delves into the pervasive issue of inequality in Singapore, challenging the widely held perception of the nation as a meritocratic society. Through a series of essays, the author draws on personal interviews, sociological research, and firsthand observations to highlight the systemic barriers faced by marginalized communities. The narrative sheds light on the lived experiences of low-income families, revealing the stark realities of social stratification and the often invisible struggles that perpetuate poverty and hinder upward mobility. By advocating for empathy and systemic change, the book calls for a reevaluation of societal values and policies to foster a more equitable society.
