Abstract On 9 November 1990 the Singapore Parliament promulgated a Bill of the Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act. The ultimate overwhelming political support for this legislation veils the very many complex arguments and disagreements that characterized the fairly long period between the initiation of a set of ideas about the need for legislation to ensure religious harmony and their eventual culmination in an act of Parliament. It is precisely this history of the Act and the complex and convoluted series of discussion that define the pre-Act and post-Act moments that the a. wants to address in this paper. He uses this Act as a starting point for entering a series of intersected and substantive fields of discussion, centering on the themes of religion and secular state politics, multireligiosity and its management and religious conflict in Singapore.
