SINGAPORE: Efforts to realise a future cohesive society are entrenched in four guiding principles - rebuilding trust, prioritising equity, embracing pluralism and bold imaginations, says Deputy Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah.
In his keynote address at the International Conference on Cohesive Societies (ICCS) 2025, Sultan Nazrin, who is also the Perak Ruler, said these guiding principles are important in navigating uncharted challenges in the world today, which is described by a 2022 United Nations Human Development Report as an "uncertainty complex" or "confluence of destabilising global pressures, sweeping social transformations and deepening political polarisation."
