The Monocle Singapore Survey 2009 The Monocle Singapore Survey 2009 Finance, logistics, culture, tourism: a national survey of the forces shaping Singapore SINGAPORE HOST CITY Welcome Monocle’s National Survey: Singapore There are few countries that can be seen in their entirety from just a few thousand feet above sea level but it’s the compact, city-state profile that makes Singapore such a curious player on the international stage and attractive hub for businesses from a host of sectors. As other nations have spent billions attracting investment and talent to create similar groupings of logistics companies, banks, hotel groups, respected academic institutions and technology brands, virtually all have to follow a model that Singapore’s been honing for decades. Having established itself as not only the most important commerce centre in Southeast Asia but also a benchmark for everything from civil aviation management to public housing development, the nation state is now staring out across the horizon and charting its next act to stay relevant and, more importantly, competitive. In a world that’s increasingly going point to point when it comes to travel (longer range, more fuel-e4cient aircraft threaten major transit hubs such as Singapore’s Changi) and is also interested in one-stop solutions (will Shanghai eventually emerge as Asia’s singular global financial hub?), Singapore has its share of challenges in both the short and long term but it’s also been moving swiftly to develop new areas of expertise to diversify its o3er. For the past three months 9;:;687 editors and writers have been shuttling in and out of Singapore to interview 67;s, sample exhibitions, visit refineries and simply scope out the streets.While the scale and pace of development for the new integrated resorts beyond the financial district is breathtaking and the growth in medical tourism should be of concern to Bangkok up the road, the most impressive development in the country’s economy is the rise of a new class of young, globally minded entrepreneurs who are adding a new layer to the retail, restaurant, media and hotel scene. Clever duos such as Karen Wai and Kenny Leck and their bookstore and publishing business, and Jane Hia and her burgeoning cafés are a fresh force that are inspiring others to take risks and challenge convention in a society that has long had a top down approach to steering and stimulating economic development.With the government placing an emphasis (and significant funds) on attracting more creative industries while nurturing talent at home, Singapore is rewriting the mission for what it means to be a hub in the 21st century and hoping it will Serving up in continue to lead and force others to follow. — <5 August 2010 Singapore 003 National Survey www.singapore2010.sg 014/015 Transport: Singapore Airlines, Changi Airport and the International Cruise Terminal.

  • Singapore 'A Land Imagined': Rising Seas, Land Reclamation and the Tropical Film-Noir City
    eTropic: electronic journal of studies in the tropics Singapore ‘A Land Imagined’: Rising Seas, Land Reclamation and the Tropical Film-Noir City Anita Lundberg http://orcid.org/0000-0002-0271-4715 James Cook University, Australia Jasmin Thamima Peer James Cook University, Australia Abstract Sea level rise due to climate change is predicted to be higher in the Tropics. As a low-lying, highly urbanised island near the equator, Singapore is taking an active response to this problem, including through large land reclamation projects. Incorporating both environmental and aesthetic elements, these projects also serve to bolster Singapore’s reputation as a shining example of a global city, a leading arts centre in Southeast Asia, and an economic hub to the world. This paper draws attention to urban development through an ethnographic reading of Yeo Siew Hua’s film A Land Imagined. A Singaporean tropical-noir mystery thriller, the film follows the rhizomatic path of a police investigator and his partner as they attempt to solve the disappearance of two foreign labourers. Interwoven within the film is a critique of Singapore’s treatment of migrant workers as it constructs the imaginary of the ‘Singapore Dream’. Keywords: Singapore city, film ethnography, land reclamation, migrant labour, rising seas, climate change, tropical imaginary, rhizomatics eTropic: electronic journal of studies in the tropics publishes new research from arts, humanities, social sciences and allied fields on the variety and interrelatedness of nature, culture, and society in the tropics.
