    Speech by Mr Lee Yi Shyan, Minister of State for Trade & Industry and Manpower at the Customer-Centric Initiative Learning Journey at VivoCity on Monday, 25 April 2011, 10.00am Mr Chang Yeng Cheong, General Manager, MapleTree Investments Pte Ltd, Tenants and Partners of VivoCity, Distinguished guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning. It is my pleasure to join you today for the Customer-Centric Initiative (CCI) Learning Journey at VivoCity. 2 Indeed, the retail sector is an important component of the Singapore economy. According to the Department of Statistics’ latest Economic Survey, Singapore’s retail sector employs 114,900 workers and has a total operating sales of $38.2 billion in 2009. It contributed approximately 2% to the GDP in 2009. 1 Many economists also use retail sales number as a barometer of the economy. More purchases generally reflect confidence. 3 Socially, the retail sector also plays an important role. It affects nearly every one of us who makes purchases regularly from one or more of the 20,300 shopping outlets throughout the urban Singapore. How sales persons interact with shoppers can either add to or subtract from the quality of human interactions. In Japan, for instance, shoppers and sales staff interactions are always very pleasant. It is perhaps their social norms there. But one could look at it as the retail sector building and reinforcing the positive social norms on a daily basis. 4 Service excellence in the retail sector is therefore significant and desirable in more than one way. We promote service excellence for its many benefits: economically and socially.

  • Staging 'Peranakan-Ness': a Cultural History of the Gunong Sayang
    Staging ‘Peranakan-ness’: A Cultural History of the Gunong Sayang Association’s wayang Peranakan, 1985-95 Brandon Albert Lim B.A. Hons (NUS) A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts Department of History National University of Singapore Academic Year 2010/2011 Gharry and palanquin are silent, the narrow street describes decades of ash and earth. Here in the good old days the Babas paved a legend on the landscape, and sang their part – God save the King – in trembling voices. Till the Great Wars came and the glory went, and the memories grave as a museum. Ah, if only our children on the prestige of their pedigree would emulate their fathers, blaze another myth across the teasing wilderness of this Golden Peninsula. Ee Tiang Hong, Tranquerah (1985) ! i! Preface and Acknowledgements ! This is a story that weaves together many narratives. First, it is a story of how members of a specific Peranakan organisation gathered annually to stage a theatrical production showcasing aspects of their culture. It is also a story of an endeavour to resuscitate the Peranakan community’s flagging fortunes and combat an increasing apathy among its young – which by the 1980s had become leitmotifs defining the state of the community; Ee Tiang Hong’s poem on the previous page is hence an appropriate epigraph. This thesis further tells a story about an iconic performance art situated, and intertwined, within a larger narrative of 1980s Singapore socio-political realities; how did it depict the Peranakan cultural heritage while at the same time adapting its presentation to fit the context? Who was involved in the production, what were the challenges its scriptwriters and directors faced and how did its audience respond to the performance? These are but some questions we will address as the story unfolds.
