Abstract: This paper examines the trends in income inequality in Singapore during 1974–1999 using Labour Force Survey data of Government of Singapore. It is found that income inequality in Singapore is quite high. This paper investigates the Singapore government’s efforts in bringing about equality in educational opportunity. This paper also examines the relationship between inequality and poverty in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. Governments’ efforts in these three countries in bringing social justice through enhancing educational opportunities are examined at a comparative basis.
