Analysis of proposed moves towards a more "open" Singaporean society must have as foundation detailed, qualitative explorations of ongoing socio-political practices and relations. This paper details such research undertaken with Singaporean environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to examine their actions, motives, and impacts on the political landscape. It argues that NGO volunteers' practices create distinct political spaces that embody desires to reconnect with, and imagine "another" Singapore into the future. At the same time, NGO interactions with the state and government are replete with doubleedged ambiguities - a state of affairs that could potentially undermine their contributions to effective Singapore governance if moves towards greater "openness" simply mean more of the same.
