This is my first visit to Singapore and I am completely impressed with the Icountry’s beauty, cleanliness and the round-the-clock energy. What captivated my attention, as soon as I landed here, was the absolute cleanliness reflected across the country. Right from Changi Airport, which is a tourist attraction in itself, for its spectacular architecture, to the small lanes; this cleanliness can be seen everywhere. It is inspiring to see how the authorities maintain this orderliness and neatness. I have observed how the system has ingrained this habit of cleanliness in the people of Singapore.

  • Singapore in Global History Singaporederek Heng Is Assistant Professor at the History in Singapore in Department, Ohio State University
    Publications Series Edited Volumes 14 Singapore in Global History SingaporeDerek Heng is Assistant Professor at the History in Singapore in Department, Ohio State University. He specialises in pre-modern Sino-Southeast Asian economic interaction and early Southeast Asian state formation. Syed Muhd Khairudin Aljunied is Assistant Professor Singapore in at the Malay Studies Department, National University Globalof Singapore. His research History encompasses colonial Global History history, the history of ideas and social identities. Global History Heng | Aljunied (eds.) Singapore in Global History brings together scholars working in the fields of political science, international relations, history, sociology, literature, art history and architecture to explore ways in which Singapore’s history could be looked upon from a global perspective. The volume’s papers make a collective attempt at Edited by arguing, often in radically novel fashion, that Singapore Derek Heng and Syed Muhd Khairudin Aljunied can be conceived both as core and periphery, and that the logic of the post-colonial nation-narrative, which attributes Singapore’s success primarily to the roles of big men and strong government, are inadequate. This volume locates Singapore as a central space between the major termini of maritime Asia and the world, and articulates the island as a strategic location where the global processes find their nesting place, where its society is fundamentally affected by these processes, and where the roots of global transformative processes eventually emanate to far reaching parts of a globalising world. This path-breaking and multidisciplinary collection of essays broadens the horizons of, and suggests new ways of approaching, Singapore history, from the fourteenth century to the present, by placing the island and its people in a larger comparative and global framework.
