Presidential Council for Minority Rights 

The Presidential Council for Minority Rights is a government body in Singapore.

If the Council feels any provision in the law is biased, it will report its findings to Parliament and the Bill will be referred back to Parliament for reconsideration. The council also reports to the Government on matters affecting any racial or religious community and investigates complaints.
