If Singapore was a big rug, what would you find if you peered underneath?
We looked, and we found people. People with stories. Stories filled with complexities.
- An ex-offender re-entering employment who finds that society has decided what jobs he should do.
- A child protection officer who works a 17-hour day and still asks of himself: Have I done my best? Could I have done more?
- A community doctor who has to stretch limited resources to meet unlimited needs. Who does he serve? Who does he turn away?
- A policymaker who reflects that government policies must be prudent and rigorous, yet adaptable and collaborative. How can you help?
Beneath the Rug brings together 30 illuminating stories from people in Singapore’s unseen social service sector. From social workers to counsellors, special education teachers, persons with disability, social entrepreneurs, policymakers – these are people with real lived experience of the other face of sunny Singapore.
The stories are by turns inspiring, discomfiting and thought-provoking. Taken together, they nudge us towards greater understanding, deeper reflection, and more meaningful engagement with our communities.
