On Race & Privilege With Chinese Singaporeans | On The Red Dot | Who We Are, What We Eat - Part 3

Musician Linying, marathoner Soh Rui Yong and politician Nicole Seah join Haresh for lunch, to talk about how the ethnic majority view race relations in Singapore.

Fresh from writing and performing the National Day Anthem for 2021, singer-songwriter Linying talks to Haresh about representation in the music industry, over a meal of Hainanese Chicken Rice.

Next, Singapore’s top marathoner, Soh Rui Yong, takes Haresh for a run, before they chow down at a British-Hainanese café. They discuss Rui Yong’s 2.4km challenge, and how ethnicity and sports are intertwined.

Finally, Haresh visits a restaurant frequented by Nicole Seah’s family. Over some Peranakan staples, they talk about Nicole’s childhood memories and the existence of Chinese privilege in Singapore.
