It deals with the relationship between the Singaporean state and local agencies and how the latter negotiated with the state to establish an acceptable framework for social cultural engineering to proceed. The book also highlights the tensions and conflicts that occurred during this process. The various chapters examine how the Singaporean state used polices and regulatory control to conserve and maintain ethno-cultural and ethno-religious landscapes, develop a moral education system and how the treatment of women and its morality came into alignment with the values that the state espoused upon from the 1980s through the 1990s. 001359019 650_0 $$aSocial sciences. 001359019 650_0 $$aEthnology. 001359019 650_0 $$aPolitical planning. 001359019 650_0 $$aReligion and culture. 001359019 650_0 $$aEconomic development. 001359019 650_0 $$aSocial change. 001359019 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001359019 7730_ $$tSpringer eBooks 001359019 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9789811069703 001359019 852__ $$bebk 001359019 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-10-6971-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001359019 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1359019$$pGLOBAL_SET 001359019 980__ $$aBIB 001359019 980__ $$aEBOOK 001359019 982__ $$aEbook 001359019 983__ $$aOnline 001359019 994__ $$a92$$bISE
