I found this article irritating. Singaporean small country insecurity and exceptionalism is still deeply Western-centric. It’s all look at us, we are better / different
LinkedIn types are celebrating it and saying ‘Singapore is better because we don’t have culture wars/ identity politics’
Well that’s different from ‘not being allowed to have identity politics’, or ‘identities’, but I find it nauseating that dominant group people think this is great
