Onward, Singapore) Was Intended by the Nation’S Founding Fathers As a Positive Affirmation, It Must Be Working ARTICLE FOR THE EDGE ONWARD SINGAPORE! If the anthem Majulah Singapura (Onward, Singapore) was intended by the nation’s founding fathers as a positive affirmation, it must be working. Singapore celebrates its 53rd birthday today as a vibrant and flourishing city-state. In his National Day address, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said Singaporeans enjoy a good quality of life, better than many others in the world. “Our economy continues to grow steadily, around three to 3.5 percent in recent years, productivity is improving and incomes are rising,” he said. In 2017, Singapore was ranked as the world’s top maritime capital by Menon Economics, beating Hamburg and Oslo. It is still Southeast Asia’s top port of call despite competition from Malaysia’s Port Klang and Tanjung Pelepas. Singapore is also the top air transport hub. Its Changi Airport processed a record 62.2 million passengers in 2017 and airfreight grew 7.9 percent to 2.13 million tonnes, beating back growing competition from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport and Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur International Airport. As a financial centre, Singapore is fourth-placed behind London, New York and Hong Kong with total assets under management worth SGD2.7 trillion (US$1.9 trillion) in 2016. Its 2017 gross domestic product (GDP) was SGD447,283 million (US$328,088 million). The economy grew 4.3 percent year-on-year in 1Q18 and 3.8 percent in 2Q18. 1 In June, Singapore gained international prestige when it hosted a summit meeting between United States (US) President Donald Trump and North Korea’s Chairman, Kim Jong-un. Taking over the Chair of ASEAN this year, Singapore’s global stature has been further burnished. 2 Nonetheless, the Prime Minister warned of clouds on the horizon. “The summit eased Korean tensions but there are many challenges still to be overcome before denuclearisation and peace are achieved on the Korean peninsula,” he said. The latest challenge is the trade war between the US and China which affects international trade, investment and business confidence. “Singapore’s own growth and prosperity will be affected, too. “Trade conflicts also erode trust between major powers and hinder their cooperation on other important issues. Hence, regional and international security are at risk,” he added. Manu Bhaskaran, an economist and partner at Centennial Asia Advisors Pte Ltd, noted that Singapore’s GDP growth rate has been gradually declining since independence. “To remain an attractive and vibrant economic hub, Singapore’s economy needs to grow around two to three percent a year. The challenge is finding where this growth will come from,” he wrote in an article published by the Lowy Institute. Singapore faces slower growth as its population ages, the workforce stagnates and productivity weakens. Fertility rates have also been falling, from 5.76 in 1960 to 1.20 in 2017. To compound this slowdown in workforce growth, Singapore’s labour productivity growth has also fallen sharply in recent years, Bhaskaran added. Prime Minister Lee said the Singapore government has been reviewing major education, healthcare and housing policies in recent years to improve Singaporeans’ lives, strengthen social safety nets and build a cohesive nation. He highlighted Kampung Admiralty as an example of an integrated housing estate designed for senior citizens. The flats have features like grab bars and non-slip tiles. Amenities such as a supermarket, medical centre, community garden, childcare centre and hawker centre are co-located here to create a family-based community. “Kampung Admiralty is a model for future public housing and meets a need as our society ages,” he said. New concerns Recent events, such as Malaysia’s general elections and a major data breach, are giving Singapore new concerns. The continuous 61-year rule of Malaysia’s National Front (Barisan Nasional) coalition ended with victory for the opposition Alliance of Hope (Pakatan Harapan) in the country’s recent general election. It swept Mahathir Mohamad back to power as Malaysia’s seventh Prime Minister. Mahathir formerly led the National Front and was the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia for 22 years. During this time, he occasionally sparred with Singapore over issues such as the price of raw water Malaysia sells to Singapore and the ownership of railway land in Singapore. When Singapore left Malaysia in 1965, the latter’s national railway company, Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM), retained ownership of the railway line from Woodlands in Singapore’s northern tip to Tanjong Pagar railway station in the south. This bisected the island state and hampered Singapore’s infrastructure development. 3 Malaysia’s previous Prime Minister Najib Razak returned the land to Singapore on 30 June 2011. The Tanjong Pagar station was closed and the terminal relocated to Woodlands. Najib’s government fostered close ties with Singapore and inked a deal to construct a high-speed rail (HSR) line connecting both countries’ capitals. Shortly after coming into power, Mahathir announced the cancellation of the HSR and hinted at the possibility of raising raw water prices which immediately sparked off concerns among Singapore’s leaders. The Alliance of Hope’s victory has inspired Singapore’s opposition. Seven parties – the Singapore Democratic Party, National Solidarity Party, People’s Power Party, Democratic Progressive Party, Reform Party, Singaporeans First and to-be-registered People’s Voice – announced plans to form a coalition this month. However, the two most successful opposition parties, the Workers’ Party and the Singapore People’s Party are not involved. Singapore’s recent data breach incident, where 1.5 million patients’ records – including the Prime Minister’s – were exfiltrated from SingHealth, the country’s largest healthcare group, tarnished its image a little. On the bright side, the breach will make Singapore even more diligent with cybersecurity as it moves onward to becoming a “Smart Nation.” Prepared by Manu Bhaskaran CEO, Centennial Asia Advisors 4.

  • Singapore 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    SINGAPORE 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution, laws, and policies provide for religious freedom, subject to restrictions relating to public order, public health, and morality. The government continued to ban Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (Unification Church). It restricted speech or actions it perceived as detrimental to “religious harmony.” The government held 12 Jehovah’s Witnesses in the armed forces’ detention facility for refusing on religious grounds to complete mandatory national service. In December, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) detained a 16-year-old Christian male for planning to attack two mosques using a machete on the anniversary of the 2019 Christchurch, New Zealand mosque shootings. According to the ministry, the individual had been self- radicalized through online material, including the Christchurch attacker’s manifesto and ISIS videos of violence against Christians. The government stated the individual acted alone and did not try to influence or involve others in his attack plans. In February, the MHA launched an investigation into a local, unregistered chapter of the South Korean Shincheonji Church of Jesus the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shincheonji Church), which resulted in the deportation of five South Koreans and the dissolution of affiliated organizations. In November, authorities arrested 21 individuals for resuming activities of the church “covertly.” In June, police detained a permanent resident for posting comments to Instagram about wanting to kill Muslims. In September, police issued a warning to Workers’ Party Member of Parliament Raeesah Khan for social media posts she made in 2018 and May 2020, before she was a candidate for parliament, accusing the government of discrimination against religious and racial minorities.

We are honoured to have Her Majesty the Queen represented by Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra. We are also happy to have with us the Hon. Angus Ogilvy, the Hon.

But in no period of human history have the changes been as spectacular as those in the last 30 years since the Second World War. And it has been going at a geometrically increasing speed, until two men have set foot on the moon. There are few events in life which are inevitable. However the declared policies of Britain to withdraw from East of Suez, the painful American experience in Vietnam, and their President's pronouncement that there will be no further Vietnam's, these make it likely that there will be momentous changes in Southeast Asia.

  • Zubir Said: a Man Made of Music by Perera, Loretta Marie, Written in August 2010 National Library Board, Singapore
    ARTICLE Zubir Said: A Man Made of Music by Perera, Loretta Marie, written in August 2010 National Library Board, Singapore Driven by his love for music, Zubir Said’s work, headlined by Singapore’s national anthem Majulah Singapura, has become an important part of the nation’s history and culture. Despite rapid social change and development, his traditional yet modern works, underscored by a timeless sensibility, remain as relevant and evocative as they have always been. Born in Bukittinggi, Minangkabau in West Sumatra, Indonesia, on July 22, 1907, Zubir Said grew up under the care of his uncle, a musician, after the death of his mother when he was seven years old. He never had an interest in studies until a teacher introduced him to Solfa music, the teaching of notes sung to a syllable ( do, re, mi). This served as the starting point of what would become a lifelong love affair with music. Once regarded as “the most respected maestro in both practical and theoretical aspects of Malay music”, Zubir showed a strong inclination towards music from an early age, learning the flute in primary school, followed by the guitar and drums in middle school. Despite strong objections from his father, who wanted his eldest child to succeed him as village chieftain, he became a member of a keroncong group instead. While travelling through Sumatra with his group, a sailor friend told him of the “glittering lights, kopi susu (coffee with milk) and butter” of Singapore. He then made his way to Singapore in the hope of developing a career in music.

  • Singapore 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    SINGAPORE 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution, laws, and policies provide for religious freedom, subject to restrictions relating to public order, public health, and morality. The government continued to ban Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (Unification Church). The government restricted speech or actions it perceived as detrimental to “religious harmony.” In October parliament passed legislation (not yet in effect at year’s end) that will allow the minister of home affairs to take immediate action against individuals deemed to have insulted a religion or to have incited violence or feelings of enmity against a religious group. The same bill will limit foreign funding to, leadership of, and influence over, local religious organizations. There is no legal provision for conscientious objection to military service, including on religious grounds. Jehovah’s Witnesses reported 11 conscientious objectors remained detained at year’s end. The government continued to ban all religious processions on foot, except for those of three Hindu festivals, including Thaipusam, and it reduced restrictions on the use of live music during Thaipusam. Authorities cancelled a concert by Swedish band Watain after public complaints that the group was offensive towards Christians and Jews. Authorities banned a foreign clergyman from preaching in Singapore after he refused to return to the country for a police investigation into anti-Muslim comments he had reportedly made at a Christian evangelical conference in 2018. The government made multiple high-level affirmations of the importance of religious harmony and respect for religious differences, including in June during a 1,000-person international conference it had organized to discuss religious diversity and cohesion in diverse societies.

Brunson, D.B.A. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Nancy J. Kippenhan, M.B.A. Committee Member ______________________________ JJ Cole, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date INTRODUCING TARGET INTO SINGAPORE 3 Abstract The global business trends point to international expansions with corporations increasingly turning to emerging markets for new opportunities to grow and create new sources of revenues. While the BRIC countries including Brazil, Russia, India, and China remain at the center of attention from global industries, the surrounding countries in Asia including Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore emerge as potential markets because although smaller in size, the surrounding countries with fast growing economy and consumer demand for foreign goods suggest large profit potentials. Considering the increasing trend of going abroad in the retail industry (S&P, 2013), the paper is an analysis of the potential of Singapore as a desirable market for U.S. retail industry by conducting a feasibility analysis of implementing the Target store brand into Singapore. The analysis includes cultural analysis, economic analysis, and market audit as well as competitive market analysis which will, in turn, provide deeper understanding of the existing markets in Singapore; therefore, provided basis for potential market expansion of other domestic business into Singapore.

  • Adapting the MGA for Negotiating with Malaysian & Singaporean
    Adapting the MGA for Negotiating with Malaysian & Singaporean Counterparts Background1 Although they are currently neighboring countries, Malaysia and Singapore briefly existed as the same country from 1963–1965. Singapore became one of the 14 states of Malaysia after Malaysia’s independence from the British in 1957. However, ideological and cultural differences between the leaders of the state of Singapore and the federal government in Malaysia culminated in Singapore splitting from Malaysia in 1965 to become its own nation. From then on, Malaysia and Singapore both made different economic and nation-building choices that led to the divergence in the economic success of both countries today. As a result, these two countries share some cultural similarities, but also have some striking differences in their negotiation cultures. Since independence, Malaysia has transformed its economy over time and positioned itself for growth. From 1971 through the late 1990s, Malaysia shifted away from its primary reliance on the production and export of raw materials, and became one of the world’s leading exporters of electronics and information technology. In recent years, Malaysia has risen steadily in the World Bank’s global Doing Business report, from 18th in 2011 to 6th in 2014.2 In 2015, Malaysia had a population of 30 million people and a GNI (Gross National Income) per capita estimated at USD$10,660.003. Malaysia was Australia’s 9th largest trading partner in 2012, with AUD$17.7 billion in trade, and entered a Free Trade Agreement with Australia in January 2013.4 Singapore, on the other hand, is Southeast Asia’s most dynamic economy.
