Abstract | This paper examines the argument of a previous article (vol. 41 (1) ( 1997), pp. 59-76 of the AJE) . . . [ The author] made some comparisons between the language policies of Australia's and Singapore's education systems. The author claimed that Australia's language policies are more egalitarian and promote multiculturalism, whereas Singapore's policies produce only superficial harmony and are, in fact, discriminatory. The present article questions these claims on the ground that they are either untrue, contradictory or lacking in evidence to substantiate such serious allegations about the educational and social policies of one of Australia's clostes neighbours in Asia.
