The Government acknowledged this growing demand to be heard by initiating Our Singapore Conversation in August last year. It is, however, equally important for citizens who care about the kind of society they live in to start their own dialogues with each other and have the space to hold those conversations as a starting point for education and change. But what happens when the Speakers’ Corner is no longer able to physically accommodate the number of people who want to peacefully assemble and take a stand on a particular cause? More space needs to be created for citizens and civil society to engage peacefully and positively over the issues we believe in. Not just physical space, but also online space and artistic space.
