  • Issue:2014 No.3
    ISSUE:2014 NO.3 Institute of Southeast Asian Studies 30 Heng Mui Keng Terrace, Singapore 119614 [email protected] | www.iseas.edu.sg ISEAS MONITOR is a socio-political survey of Southeast Asia which examines current events to identify trends in specific countries and in the wider region. The Region: Geopolitical Overview The geopolitics of Eastern Europe has captured the world’s attention far more than that of Asia—let alone Southeast Asia—in recent weeks. But events in Kiev, the cities of the eastern Ukraine and the Crimea and the sputtering efforts of outside actors to influence them have clear relevance to the region. They underline the importance of Southeast Asia’s longstanding determination to build a system of cooperation that allows the region’s states to remain the masters of their own fates. This project takes into account outside powers’ legitimate interests in Southeast Asia, and the months ahead will bring pressure on Southeast Asian states to manage those interests. With both Russo-Ukrainian and Sino- Japanese tensions in mind, the region’s largest country, Indonesia, can be expected to articulate a more coherent and focused policy toward Chinese claims in the South China Sea. The late April visits of Barack Obama to Malaysia and the Philippines should give new energy to the slow-motion US pivot to the region. And Japan’s search for “de facto alliances” in Southeast Asia will continue. Observers of the region will thus need to weigh the ascendancy of regional institutions over the patch- work of bilateral agreements that have been the effective basis for the regional architecture in Southeast Asia.

KONFRONTASI: Why Singapore was in Forefront of Indonesian Attacks By Mushahid Ali Synopsis Indonesia’s confrontation of Malaysia in the 1960s saw a campaign of bomb attacks against civilian targets in Singapore including MacDonald House. Several Indonesians were captured, tried and hanged. What was the objective of Konfrontasi? Commentary ON 10 MARCH 2015 a memorial to Konfrontasi (Confrontation) was inaugurated on Orchard Road, opposite MacDonald House, which was bombed by Indonesian marines 50 years earlier, on 10 March 1965. The assault, in which three civilians were killed and 33 others injured, was the most serious bomb attack, but not the only successful one, in Singapore, as reported by Daniel Wei Boon Chua in his RSIS commentary of 16 March 2015 (KONFRONTASI: Why It Still Matters to Singapore). There were several bombs that were set off and people killed and injured during the three year-long campaign by Indonesian saboteurs, aimed at demoralising the people and damaging Singapore’s economy. The low-intensity conflict was launched by Indonesia’s president Sukarno to “crush Malaysia”, of which Singapore was a part from 1963 to 1965.

  • 268KB***The Law on Treasonable Offences in Singapore
    Published on e-First 14 April 2021 THE LAW ON TREASONABLE OFFENCES IN SINGAPORE This article aims to provide an extensive and detailed analysis of the law on treasonable offences in Singapore. It traces the historical development of the treason law in Singapore from the colonial period under British rule up until the present day, before proceeding to lay down the applicable legal principles that ought to govern these treasonable offences, drawing on authorities in the UK, India as well as other Commonwealth jurisdictions. With a more long-term view towards the reform and consolidation of the treason law in mind, this article also proposes several tentative suggestions for reform, complete with a draft bill devised by the author setting out these proposed changes. Benjamin LOW1 LLB (Hons) (National University of Singapore). “Treason doth never prosper: what’s the reason? Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.”2 I. Introduction 1 The law on treasonable offences, more commonly referred to as treason,3 in Singapore remains shrouded in a great deal of uncertainty and ambiguity despite having existed as part of the legal fabric of Singapore since its early days as a British colony. A student who picks up any major textbook on Singapore criminal law will find copious references to various other kinds of substantive offences, general principles of criminal liability as well as discussion of law reform even, but very little mention is made of the relevant law on treason.4 Academic commentary on this 1 The author is grateful to Julia Emma D’Cruz, the staff of the C J Koh Law Library, the Lee Kong Chian Reference Library and the ISEAS Library for their able assistance in the author’s research for this article.

  • Introduction Political Security of Singapore
    Political Security study guide SMC 2018: Singapore’s role as a small state POLITICAL SECURITY COUNCIL Learning Outcomes Students should understand Singapore’s limitations as a small state and be aware of how it safeguards its position on the international stage by capitalising on its strengths. [Topic 1: Singapore’s role in ASEAN] Introduction Political security of Singapore The island state of Singapore is dwarfed by geographically larger countries on the international stage, yet our nation’s numerous diplomatic ties with other countries grant us considerable influence. This has helped cement our place in the global community. Increasingly, though, Singapore’s political security is not as certain as before, given the unpredictability of relations between China and the USA, and Singapore’s close ties with both countries. At the same time, Singapore has added responsibilities as the current ASEAN Chair, with aims to strengthen and sustain ASEAN’s relations internationally. There is also a need to balance our role as a leader in the region with protecting national interests. Hence, maintaining our political security and deciding how this should be undertaken are issues that continue to be of great concern. Singapore’s foreign policy As outlined by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan, there are two main guiding principles governing Singapore’s foreign policy:1 firstly, protecting our nation’s 1 Cheong, Danson. “Vivian Balakrishnan outlines core principles guiding Singapore's foreign policy.” The Straits Times, 17 July 2017, www.straitstimes.com/singapore/vivian-outlines-core- principles-guiding-spores-foreign-policy. 1 Political Security study guide SMC 2018: Singapore’s role as a small state sovereignty and independence, and, secondly, transcending geographical borders to maximise Singapore’s opportunities.

  • Konfrontasi Memorial Ceremony on 10 March 2016, 1825Hrs
    SPEECH BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE SAF VETERANS’ LEAGUE, BRIGADIER-GENERAL (NS) WINSTON TOH, AT THE KONFRONTASI MEMORIAL CEREMONY ON 10 MARCH 2016, 1825HRS Dr Mohamad Maliki, Senior Minister of State for Defence, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, 1. Thank you for accepting our invitation to this memorial ceremony, to remember the innocent lives lost, and honour those who fought valiantly for the survival of our nation during Konfrontasi. 2. In 1963, President Sukarno of Indonesia launched an armed campaign of Konfrontasi to destroy the Federation of Malaysia of which Singapore was then a part of. For the next three years, Singapore plunged into a period of fear and uncertainty, as saboteurs carried out a series of terror attacks on civilians. Our pioneers not only had to worry about their next meal, but whether they and their loved ones would make it home safely at the end of the day. 3. Despite the risks, Singaporeans stood together to defend all that we held dear. Some of our veterans from the First and Second Singapore Infantry Regiment (SIR) are present here today. LTC (Ret) Daljeet Singh, LTC (Ret) Syed Ibrahim and MAJ (Ret) Abdul Samad were young soldiers when they were deployed to the frontlines in Johor and Sabah to conduct operations against Indonesian incursions. There were casualties, but our forces persevered and emerged stronger and more determined from the fight. Our defenders also included ordinary Singaporeans who served with the Singapore Volunteer Corps, the Singapore Naval 1 Volunteer Force, and the Vigilante Corps, safeguarding Singapore with the Police during Konfrontasi.

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background Singapore is well-known by its small but busy city, which is positioned at 9 over 10 countries in the world. There are over 5 million people live in Singapore and over 8 million visitors who come to Singapore to enjoy this urban country (Rawat, 2014). Besides keeping the interaction with the visitors by its excursions and dazzled cultures, Singapore also keeps innovating the development of their human resources while increasing the infrastructure sector at the same time, in which by this way makes Singapore keeps moving forward. The rapid growth of infrastructure facilities encourages investors to put investment in Singapore. Singapore is famous by its hospitality for businessman to invest their company in Singapore of which country has no additional tax for the assets. Foreign ownership is recognized by the government. There is no inheritance tax and foreign citizens are able to get a bank loan of up to 70 percent, bank lending rates under two percent, and transparant regulation of property sales (Diela, 2014). These conditions becomes the reason why Google, Microsoft, and Kellogg’s build their offices in Singapore which underlies Singapore to be dubbed as one of the busiest ports and airlines. Behind its purpose to give a huge profits to the investors and a pleasure excursions to the visitors to increase the economic sector, Singapore’s commitment overall is to make the country a safe place for all where people could live, work and play safely in the country (Ministry of Home Affairs, 2002).

  • Students' Judgments of Historical Significance in Singapore Schools
    Students’ Judgments of Historical Significance in Singapore Schools: Positionalities and Narratives Angeline Jude Enk Sung Yeo A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Dr. Walter C. Parker, Chair Dr. Manka M.Varghese Dr. Ana M. Elfers Program Authorized to Offer Degree: College of Education © Copyright 2015 Angeline Jude Enk Sung Yeo University of Washington Abstract Students’ Judgments of Historical Significance in Singapore Schools: Positionalities and Narratives Angeline Jude Enk Sung Yeo Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Walter C. Parker College of Education Research has established that students’ ethnic, community, and national identities can influence their judgments on historical significance. Furthermore, it has demonstrated that students’ identities may incline them towards appropriating or resisting particular historical narratives when considering historical significance. In Singapore, little is known about how students think about and make judgments of historical significance as well as which aspects of their identity they draw upon to make these judgments. Using a qualitative case study approach that relies mainly on individual and focus group interviews, this study investigates how 15 secondary school students define their identities in Singapore and examines how these identities influence their judgments of the historical significance of persons and events in Singapore’s past. The key findings indicate that students in Singapore tend to position and locate themselves as multiracial i Singaporeans and draw upon a narrative template that complies with the official Singapore narrative to make judgments of significance. The study also reveals that the use of this narrative template has resulted in the development of reductionist views of the past among students.

  • Challenges Faced by Singapore Economy in the Future
    I M Sreehari, Tharman Akanksha, International Journal of Advance Research and Development.

  • Why There Is No NATO in Southeast Asia
    Let’s forget about NATO in Southeast Asia: A practical analysis of the ASEAN Way of security cooperation Chau Bao Nguyen1 PhD Candidate, Associate Tutor University of East Anglia, UK Abstract Moving from material-based to ideational and practice-based perspectives, this paper suggests a new angle in the research on regional integration and security multilateralism in East Asia. It addresses tensions within the constructivist approach that tend to leave the theory of practice, culture and micro process of socialization under-explained. I argue that, 25 years after the Cold War, Southeast Asia is still lacking common interests, trust, and more importantly a shared identity: the basic foundations for a collective security framework. This fact renders the establishment of a NATO-type security structure extremely unlikely. Alternatively, this constructivist view emphasizes the establishment of a uniquely security culture; one which informal discourse of problem-solving and consensus seeking. The paper’s theoretical focus will be supplemented the case study of the components of the ASEAN Way and how they are practised in everyday politics. This research makes three wider contributions. First, it enriches the existing understanding of security cooperation and regional dynamics. Second, the paper contributes to the "practice turn" in constructivist International Relations (IR) to incorporate the international practice of everyday politics into analytical focus. Finally, it ties into the emerging debate about the role of culture in IR and whether scholars have misinterpreted East Asia through over-reliance on the Occidental lens and its implicit Eurocentrism. Key words: ASEAN Way, Southeast Asia, Constructivism, practice, security culture. 1 Chau B.

Singapore strives to be ‘a friend to all and enemy to none’ and this principle is the core of Singapore’s bilateral relationships, especially with geographically larger countries surrounding Singapore. However, with the advancement of Singapore as a prominent player in ASEAN and in the world, a new diplomatic approach has to be adopted, © Hwa Chong Institution (High School) one that maintains positive bilateral relations in our region and internationally without compromising sovereignty and natural interest. The approach of realpolitik, a realistic approach of situational diplomacy is employed to provide Singapore with a form of economic and political breathing space.
