Isn't Singapore already one of the most diverse countries from South East Asia?
In your experience, do all the minorities happily coexist, or is there some unspoken ranking between them?

I think the different races get along with one another, but compared to our grandparents’ or parents’ generation, we (Gen X and younger) do not mix with people of other races as much. So, social mixing is a problem. And being Singapore, we have initiatives to socially engineer greater frequency of interactions among different races haha.
I have to admit that there is some sort of Chinese privilege here. Our then-Deputy Prime Minister said in 2019 that Singapore was not ready for a non-Chinese Prime Ninister, to the consternation of many Singaporeans.
