SINGAPORE - When the idea of having networks on the ground to help build inter-racial and religious ties was first mooted in 2002, Mr Abdullah Shafiie was asked to take charge of it.
It was a challenge, but a meaningful one, said Mr Shafiie, 63. He was then the leader of a Malay youth organisation and also heavily involved in grassroots efforts.
