Against this backdrop, this paper draws on the 2024 IPS Survey on\u00a0Race, Religion and Language (RRL), a nationally representative study of 4,000\u00a0residents. Where relevant, these responses are compared with results from the\u00a02013 and 2018 RRL waves. Our aim is to chart how Singaporeans evaluate\u00a0everyday moral questions (from gambling and fidelity to cohabitation, premarital\u00a0sex, divorce and same-sex issues); how these views differ by age and religious\u00a0tradition and how they have shifted over the past decade within Singapore\u2019s\u00a0distinctive multicultural framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
