SINGAPORE - The Indian Business-leaders’ Rountable (IBR) on March 22 presented the Singapore Indian Development Association (SINDA) with $307,000 to assist in SINDA’s e-learning initiatives.

Senior Minister of State for Law and Education and SINDA president Indranee Rajah said: “I am thankful to the members of the IBR for adopting SINDA’s e- learning cause and organising this fundraiser. The contributions will enable SINDA to acquire and implement technology-based pedagogy to enhance the educational experience of our students.” Ride Ons & Scooter Skates Get 50% Cashback on Kids' Toys, Outdoor Games, Prams, Strollers & Much More.

There are currently 89 members from the consulting, banking and nance, investment, manufacturing and communications industries. The money raised from this event will go towards underwriting the cost of SINDA’s subscription to the HeyMath! portal for a period of three years. HeyMath!, an interactive digital online math-teaching tool that has shown positive results in over 50 countries, is also being used in several Singapore schools. It aims to dispel the fear of mathematics, with bite-sized animated and interactive explanations that provide concept clarication visually. http://news.asiaone.com/news/edvantage/gift­learning 2/6 1/13/2017 The gift of learning, AsiaOne Edvantage News Thanking their two gold sponsors, HSBC Singapore and 2a technologies, IBR chairman and executive chairman of Apex Avalon Consulting Girija Pande said: “To date, IBR has raised about $500,000. Today’s event is our rst dedicated fundraiser to help SINDA acquire a modern, versatile learning tool for children to use in its tuition cente rs. “What better ‘vidya daan’ or the gift of knowledge from IBR than to support the best in class digitised e-learning platform which would provide underprivileged children a very interesting way to learn maths. We aim to do this by making the e-learning platform HeyMath! available for the SINDA children.” Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Finance and chairman of the SINDA board of trustees Tharman Shanmugaratnam, who was also the guest of honour for the event, said: “Thank you to all the council members who took time and ‘opened your wallets and opened your hearts’. When we think about integration, it involves many dimensions. (http://www.asiaone.com/) “It is good for those who are well-off to contribute back some. It’s even better when you take an interest in individuals in the society you are in and understand that society as well as possible. And we do it because we create a better society. But we also do it because we nd that it is so much more enriching for ourselves as citizens, as members of that society, because at the end of the day, we are what we are because of what we are together. “All these little initiatives that you take is what motivates us. I look forward to your continuing commitment, engagement, little ways of helping individuals or families who can do with support and that extra push. It all makes life so much more worth living.” Gayathri Ramesh (http://www.tabla.sg) Get a copy of tabla! (http://www.tabla.sg/) for more stories. Sign up for our e-newsletter now!

  • Transparency and Authoritarian Rule in Southeast Asia
    TRANSPARENCY AND AUTHORITARIAN RULE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA The 1997–98 Asian economic crisis raised serious questions for the remaining authoritarian regimes in Southeast Asia, not least the hitherto outstanding economic success stories of Singapore and Malaysia. Could leaders presiding over economies so heavily dependent on international capital investment ignore the new mantra among multilateral financial institutions about the virtues of ‘transparency’? Was it really a universal functional requirement for economic recovery and advancement? Wasn’t the free flow of ideas and information an anathema to authoritarian rule? In Transparency and Authoritarian Rule in Southeast Asia Garry Rodan rejects the notion that the economic crisis was further evidence that ulti- mately capitalism can only develop within liberal social and political insti- tutions, and that new technology necessarily undermines authoritarian control. Instead, he argues that in Singapore and Malaysia external pres- sures for transparency reform were, and are, in many respects, being met without serious compromise to authoritarian rule or the sanctioning of media freedom. This book analyses the different content, sources and significance of varying pressures for transparency reform, ranging from corporate dis- closures to media liberalisation. It will be of equal interest to media analysts and readers keen to understand the implications of good governance debates and reforms for democratisation. For Asianists this book offers sharp insights into the process of change – political, social and economic – since the Asian crisis.
