Abstract
The year 2018 saw Singapore courts grappling with constitutional interpretation, particularly in determining the proper balance of powers among the different branches of government. There were several legislative initiatives with implications for constitutional rights. There was also continued reliance on public consultation as part of the government’s law-making process.
