This is what a postnational multicultural state looks like. And while the Liberal Party can try to back away from Wang’s message, her appeal to identity politics is straight out of the Liberal playbook and echoes the politics and policies promoted by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In late 2015, Trudeau was interviewed by The New York Times magazine about his vision for Canada. And forget about our constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy — arguable the most successful form of government in human history — or our commitment to Western liberal ideals. Instead, Trudeau said “there is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada… those are the qualities that make us the first postnational state.” The race-based message from the Liberal candidate mirrors this type of thinking. For instance, in her WeChat message, Wang does not call herself “Canadian” or even “Chinese-Canadian.” Instead, she identifies as “Chinese” and calls Singh “Indian.” Just like Trudeau said, there’s no mainstream, no core identity in Canada. It’s no surprise, then, to see politicians pandering in different languages to various ethnic communities. Trudeau’s fixation on identity politics led him to appointing cabinet positions based solely on gender. The next logical step is to expand this thinking to other identities, like ethnic background and language groups. Instead, our nationalism is defined by patriotism — a love of country and commitment to our heritage and shared values.

An application by historian Thum Ping Tjin and freelance journalist Kirsten Han to register a company has been rejected on the grounds that the registration would be contrary to Singapore's national interests. Acra noted that OSEA was to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of a British-registered company called Observatory Southeast Asia (OSEA UK). FOSI is closely associated with Open Society Foundations (OSF), founded and led by Mr Soros, it added. Nor should we allow any group of Singaporeans to lend themselves to being used by foreigners to pursue a political activity in Singapore. "OSF and FOSI, and other foreign philanthropies and groups, can fund whatever causes they like elsewhere," it said. Nor should we allow any group of Singaporeans to lend themselves to being used by foreigners to pursue a political activity in Singapore." Dr Thum - a research fellow and coordinator of Project Southeast Asia at the University of Oxford - was cited as its director and Ms Han its editor-in-chief. Currently, OSEA UK owns and manages the New Naratif website, said the authority. In response to queries, Acra said that the information on grant funding to OSEA UK was provided by the applicant. Dr Thum is also one of the three founders of the New Naratif website, which was founded last year and publishes articles on South-east Asia.
