HSS was quoted in Lianhe Zaobao, the Chinese daily newspaper (last 2 paragraphs). The article covered an interfaith seminar, Building Bridges Seminar organised by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS). Lawrence Wong, Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth, was invited as guest-of-honour. HSS members attended the event in their personal capacities and our President was interviewed by several members of the press.
Rough translation:
HSS President Mark Kwan (34, teacher) attended the inter- faith dialogue despite being non-religious. He said, “According to the 2010 population census, 17.1% of Singaporeans do not belong to any religion but this does not stop us from participating in inter-faith events as most of our values are similar to what religions promote, therefore we support inter-faith dialogue too.”
