The topic of nationhood is taken up through the lens of rootedness, in \u201cSingaporean Rootedness: Taking Stock and Moving Forward\u201d, a chapter in <em>Singapore Perspectives 2009: The Heart of the Matter <\/em>(World Scientific, 2009). A\/P Tan Ern Ser (NUS Department of Sociology) examines the concept of rootedness in the context of the nation, especially where national survival and well-being is concerned. He associates rootedness with identity, a sense of belonging, and an emotional attachment. A strong rootedness to a place is thus characterised by a sense of community, of feeling like we are among friends and people who care for us, and a citizenship that sees a willingness to help and engage in building a better future.<\/p>\n<p>A\/P Tan believes that rootedness comes about when people can have a decent quality of life and well-being for themselves and their children. He suggests that when a sense of security and comfort is achieved, people will move from a self-interested position to one which prompts care and concern of the larger good of the community. He adds that a stronger sense of rootedness can also be built with a more affirming and encouraging culture.<\/p>\n<p>The essay lays out several hypotheses on some possible barriers and facilitators to the development of rootedness in Singapore. Firstly, the over-emphasis on meritocracy and self-reliance has created an environment where Singaporeans feel like they are on their own. Secondly, the emphasis on market relations conveys a message that appears to value Singaporeans more through their economic contributions than as citizens. Thirdly, Singapore lacks a culture of affirmation, which is often dismissive of small successes; this calls for a broader definition of success and contribution. Fourthly, A\/P Tan urges Singapore to think of itself less as an economy, and more as a nation and a community. Finally, the chapter addresses Singapore\u2019s ostensibly low tolerance of differences, advocating for the acceptance of people with different viewpoints and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>If anything, the chapter recognises that the global mobility of Singaporeans brings to light questions of home and rootedness, and of where acceptance and security can be found. A\/P Tan concludes by commenting on the issue of foreign talent in Singapore, asserting that Singaporeans will demonstrate a generosity towards new citizens, PRs, and foreigners if and when they feel a sense of rootedness in their own country.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldscientific.com\/worldscibooks\/10.1142\/7394\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Day, which marks Singapore\u2019s 1965 independence from Malaysia, is celebrated in Singapore every 9 August.
