Singapore proposes new bill to protect racial harmony, including powers to issue restraining orders.

Singapore has introduced a new bill to protect racial harmony, including powers to issue restraining orders against those who spread content that could harm racial unity. The Maintenance of Racial Harmony Bill also requires race-based groups to disclose foreign ties and sets up a program for offenders to repair community relations. If passed, the bill would consolidate existing laws and signal the government's commitment to maintaining racial harmony, alongside religious harmony.
