Singapore is also essentially, a benevolent dictatorship. It has really harsh punishment and fines (which often disproportionately effect one group). It has harsh restrictions on assemblies, free speech and other human rights. It was extremely authoritarian when covid hit, sharing track and trace data with the police. It is not an example IMO to follow.
it’s been criticised for its treatment of “migrant workers” and white British/European expats have been known to get preferential treatment. For example some 300K migrant workers were essentially locked into dorms because of covid. They are poorer and more vulnerable. The PAP control the media in Singapore so of course internationally it enjoys a decent reputation. It helps that it’s a small, wealthy country.
The jury is out for me if Singapore can be deemed successful on that front…! To me it’s basically the Dubai of South Asia. I suppose it depends what successful multiculturalism looks like to the individual!
we moved out of area for my eldest last year of school, so had to drive, but I hated it. Much prefer to walk. It’s the only exercise I get 
if my 20 something year old self saw this 
. Saying that I know the parents of these children's probably aren't first generation immagrant but somewhere along the way, someone made a decision to move to a country where they didn't agree with the culture. I think children are the perfect examples of who should be first to start mixing, adults are so set in their ways and varied opinions tend to divide rather than become adopted.
