Introduction


There are three objectives to this Wiki site:

  • First, to keep the discourse on inequality in Singapore going;
  • Second, to focus on events and writings about the (perceived) problem, with the broader and longer-term goal of organising these events and writings; as well as
  • Third, to moot and debate policy recommendations and to promote community resources.

This Wiki site has been populated with some predetermined sections - Events, Articles and Readings, Policy Ideas, and Community Projects - but users are encouraged to not only add content and updates, but to also amend the structure wherever applicable. In the even longer-term, the continuation of a community, ground-up initiative would ideally allow for engagement with the government too. For now, should you have questions or contributions, email us at clarencekh[a]gmail.com and jinyao.guan.yin.miao[a]gmail.com.

Articles and Readings


There are two sub-sections. For a start, when including articles and readings from different sources, include the headline, a link, the source (i.e. name of the newspaper, online site, or journal), and a synopsis of 50 words or fewer (if possible). The initial aim is to populate this section with as many articles and readings as possible, before organising them into a directory, thematically.

Articles and Readings in the Mainstream and Online Media

  • Format: Headline (link), source. A synopsis of 50 words or fewer.

Academic Articles, Research Articles, and Books

  • Format: Headline (link), source. A synopsis of 50 words or fewer.

Community Projects


The focus is on community projects which Singaporeans could be involved in. Share the name of the organisation, a synopsis of the organisation's work (with an emphasis on inequality and the class divide) in 100 words of fewer, and a link to find out more or to get involved.
