    SPEECH BY DR LEE BOON YANG, CHAIRMAN, SPH AND SPH FOUNDATION AT THE SPH AND SPH FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS CEREMONY 2018 HELD ON MONDAY, 16 JULY 2018 AT 3.00 PM AT THE SPH NEWS CENTRE AUDITORIUM Ladies and Gentlemen A very good afternoon to all. Welcome to the annual SPH and SPH Foundation Scholarship Awards Ceremony 2018. Let me begin by congratulating all scholarship recipients. This year, we have 4 journalism scholars. We will also be presenting 14 scholarships to the children of SPH staff and newspaper vendors, as well as 11 Lim Kim San Memorial Scholarships. I would like to congratulate the proud parents, family members and loved ones who are here today. Quality journalism and transformation are key The global media industry continues to face volatility and disruption. Today, platforms such as Facebook and Google are changing the way people access the news. The emergence of new technologies driven by powerful algorithms, artificial intelligence and data analytics are shaping the types of content that gets wider circulation. 1 We have also experienced the emergence of fake news. This is in part owing to deceptive advertising, deliberate falsehoods or lack of fact-checking arising from unprofessional journalism. Faced with such volatility and challenges, journalists have a more important role to restore trust and confidence in media companies. Journalists should always ensure accurate and objective presentation and delivery of news that readers would want to turn to, and can rely on. SPH will always uphold the highest standard of quality journalism. At the same time, we will also continue to innovate and transform our business operations.

  • Kodrah Kristang: the Initiative to Revitalize the Kristang Language in Singapore
    Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 19 Documentation and Maintenance of Contact Languages from South Asia to East Asia ed. by Mário Pinharanda-Nunes & Hugo C. Cardoso, pp.35–121 http:/nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/sp19 2 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24906 Kodrah Kristang: The initiative to revitalize the Kristang language in Singapore Kevin Martens Wong National University of Singapore Abstract Kristang is the critically endangered heritage language of the Portuguese-Eurasian community in Singapore and the wider Malayan region, and is spoken by an estimated less than 100 fluent speakers in Singapore. In Singapore, especially, up to 2015, there was almost no known documentation of Kristang, and a declining awareness of its existence, even among the Portuguese-Eurasian community. However, efforts to revitalize Kristang in Singapore under the auspices of the community-based non-profit, multiracial and intergenerational Kodrah Kristang (‘Awaken, Kristang’) initiative since March 2016 appear to have successfully reinvigorated community and public interest in the language; more than 400 individuals, including heritage speakers, children and many people outside the Portuguese-Eurasian community, have joined ongoing free Kodrah Kristang classes, while another 1,400 participated in the inaugural Kristang Language Festival in May 2017, including Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister and the Portuguese Ambassador to Singapore. Unique features of the initiative include the initiative and its associated Portuguese-Eurasian community being situated in the highly urbanized setting of Singapore, a relatively low reliance on financial support, visible, if cautious positive interest from the Singapore state, a multiracial orientation and set of aims that embrace and move beyond the language’s original community of mainly Portuguese-Eurasian speakers, and, by design, a multiracial youth-led core team.

    Opening Speech by Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen at the Defence Technology Community's 50th Anniversary Dinner 07 Nov 2016 President Tony Tan, Emeritus Senior Minister, Former Minister and Second Minister for Defence, Permanent Secretaries and Chief of Defence Force, Former Permanent Secretaries, Distinguished guests, colleagues and friends, Welcome to the DTC50 Dinner First, a very good evening and welcome to tonight's dinner where we celebrate together the jubilee year of the Defence Technology Community, or DTC. I know all of you feel honoured as I do, because we have with us tonight President Tony Tan, Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, Dr Lee Boon Yang, Mr Lui Tuck Yew, previous Ministers for Defence; as well as previous Permanent Secretaries, among them Mr Lim Siong Guan and Mr Chiang Chie Foo, who oversaw the development of this community, the DTC. I look forward to President Tony Tan's speech wherein the achievements of the DTC will be recounted. We are all very proud of the achievements of the DTC, which give us an assurance of a secure future. These achievements were only possible because of the collective efforts of the entire MINDEF and the SAF family. Individually each of you played a role in your unit, whether it was in the Army, Navy, or Airforce, Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) or DSO, whether it was in technical vocations as well as combat, to make that extra effort to push our defence capabilities forward. Tonight, it is both somewhat formal, somewhat informal - it is a meeting of old friends.

  • Demographic Trends : Impact on Schools 人口統計趨勢對學校的影響
    New Horizons in Education, Vol.58, No.1 , May 2010 Demographic Trends : Impact on Schools Sylvia N.Y. CHONG and CHEAH Horn Mun National Institute of Education, Singapore Abstract Background: Singapore is experiencing great demographic change. These demographic trends show fewer young people and declining birth rates, greater longevity for ageing generations and an increase in the number of non-Singaporean residents. Statistics also show that more than half of the total population increase in the last decades was contributed by non-resident (non- Singaporeans). These demographic trends have far-reaching implications for schools and educators. Aims: The paper looks at how key demographic trends will reshape Singapore’s schools. The paper focuses on three key factors-mortality, fertility and migration-and their impact on schools. Method: The analyses are based on existing demographic data and trends. The data is taken from Singapore Department of Statistics, 2008. Results: The first two factors, namely ageing population and declining birth rates, lead to the need to develop lifelong learning skills. The third factor of immigration leads towards multiculturalism in education for hybrid identities to work, think, and play across cultural boundaries. Conclusion: It is necessary to ensure that the school structures are responsive to changing needs, so that it can evolve in a timely manner to prepare the learners meaningfully. Schools in Singapore have to incorporate a wider range of activities that can help to develop 21st century skills without compromising the rigor and quality of the original school and curriculum structure which has served the needs of the students in Singapore well.

  • Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's National Day Rally 2004 Speech, Sunday 22 August 2004, at the University Cultural Centre
    PRIME MINISTER LEE HSIEN LOONG’S NATIONAL DAY RALLY 2004 SPEECH, SUNDAY 22 AUGUST 2004, AT THE UNIVERSITY CULTURAL CENTRE, NUS OUR FUTURE OF OPPORTUNITY AND PROMISE I Tribute to Goh Chok Tong 1 Friends and fellow Singaporeans, I've known Mr Goh Chok Tong for a very long time, more than 25 years. We first met in 1978. It was not long after he entered politics. We met socially and I remember he was explaining to me how he was consciously staying away from making speeches on shipping matters because he was from NOL (Neptune Orient Lines) and he wanted to broaden out and talk about other subjects. Soon after I met him, I went away to the US to study. When I was away, I needed to make a presentation on Singapore – Know Your World – and wanted something to show the Americans what Singapore was like. So, I asked Mr Goh and he sent me some slides of activities in Marine Parade, a kite-flying competition, something you won't find in America and it added something to letting the Americans know us. I came back from America after two years in the SAF (Singapore Armed Forces). He was my minister. I would brief him regularly. Then I entered Cabinet and he was a colleague and then, he was the Prime Minister. 2 When Mr Goh took over from Mr Lee Kuan Yew as PM, many people wondered how he would work out because Singapore had had only one PM ever since it was independent, in fact, ever since before it was independent.
