It’s hard to believe that only about future generation in appreciation of the giants that have come before us. 50 years ago, many Singaporeans were illiterate and it would have been very difficult to convince them of the value of letting their children go to school and the library. Nowadays, with the variety of media clamouring Gene Tan for our attention, we take the written word for granted. Director, National Library 6 HANDS 7 INTRODUCTION Hands: Gift of a Generation is a book born from the multi-sensory exhibition of the same name by the Singapore Memory Project (SMP), held between August and October 2013 at the National Library Building, Singapore. * By elegantly depicting first-hand accounts from Singaporeans of all walks of life, this book seeks to document their lives and present the stories of Singapore as told by Singaporeans in a personal and evocative way. Comprising 45 individual profiles, mostly verbatim accounts and each accompanied by a striking photograph, this book is a valuable collection of stories that reflects the transformation of Singapore through the years. The memories are rich in their diversity, describing struggles, sacrifice, triumphs and joy. They pay tribute to the struggles of Singapore’s early pioneers and the hard work of many who helped shape the Singapore of today – from people as diverse as Konfrontasi and Japanese Occupation survivors to proponents of women’s rights, a dancer, tailor, charcoal seller, trishaw rider and more. The stories encapsulate a diverse cross section of everyday Singaporeans, each connected through their unique experiences and perspectives of Singapore. Reflecting this diversity, the book contains 10 translated profiles in each of Singapore’s mother-tongue languages of Chinese, Malay and Tamil. It is our hope that the poignant stories told in Hands: Gift of a Generation not only act as an insightful window into Singapore’s past, but also remind you of your own memories and help you piece together an intimately personal slice of the Singapore story. * For those who missed the original “Hands: Gift of a Generation” exhibition, an abridged version has been set up at the Woodlands Regional Library since March 2014.

  • One Party Dominance Survival: the Case of Singapore and Taiwan
    One Party Dominance Survival: The Case of Singapore and Taiwan DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lan Hu Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Professor R. William Liddle Professor Jeremy Wallace Professor Marcus Kurtz Copyrighted by Lan Hu 2011 Abstract Can a one-party-dominant authoritarian regime survive in a modernized society? Why is it that some survive while others fail? Singapore and Taiwan provide comparable cases to partially explain this puzzle. Both countries share many similar cultural and developmental backgrounds. One-party dominance in Taiwan failed in the 1980s when Taiwan became modern. But in Singapore, the one-party regime survived the opposition’s challenges in the 1960s and has remained stable since then. There are few comparative studies of these two countries. Through empirical studies of the two cases, I conclude that regime structure, i.e., clientelistic versus professional structure, affects the chances of authoritarian survival after the society becomes modern. This conclusion is derived from a two-country comparative study. Further research is necessary to test if the same conclusion can be applied to other cases. This research contributes to the understanding of one-party-dominant regimes in modernizing societies. ii Dedication Dedicated to the Lord, Jesus Christ. “Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power.

  • Industrial Infrastructure: Growing in Tandem with the Economy – Industrialisation Has Driven the Singapore Urban Systems Studi
    Industrial Infrastructure: Growing in Tandem with the Economy – Industrialisation has driven the engine of Singapore’s remarkable economic transformation since it gained internal self-government. This economic growth has developed in tandem with the industrial infrastructure landscape – its foundations were laid first in standard factories, and as the economy moved up the value chain towards a knowledge- driven phase, with ever more specialised industrial parks and innovative solutions. Singapore has had to deal with the constant challenge of staying relevant and competitive, while addressing the inherent constraints of land and labour. It is a story of visionary leadership, strong institutions, planning over a long-term horizon but adjusting flexibly in the short term, using crises as opportunities for learning and change, working with markets, and constant innovation. This study presents the progression of Singapore’s economic policies over the various phases of growth, and the corresponding developments in the industrial infrastructure. It also delves into how this integrated approach has occurred through the dynamics of the institutional structures and Singapore’s strategic industry choices over the years. The Singapore Urban Systems Studies Booklet Series draws on original Urban Systems Studies research by the Centre for Liveable Cities, Singapore (CLC) into Singapore’s development over the last half-century. The series is organised around domains such as water, transport, housing, planning, industry and the environment. Developed in close collaboration with relevant government agencies and drawing on exclusive interviews with pioneer leaders, these practitioner-centric booklets present a succinct overview and key principles of Singapore’s development model. Important events, policies, institutions, and laws are also summarised in concise annexes.

  • “Location” - South Asia’S Seaport Hub
    “Location” - South Asia’s Seaport Hub By Geoff Walker For certain, one of the ports that most mariners have visited at one time or another. Right at the tip of the Malaysian Peninsula, the Island State of Singapore. Location, Location, Location! Known as one of the “Jewels of Asia”, Singapore has always taken full advantage of its superb geographical location to become one of the most important “Hub Ports” of the Asian region. Situated on the Singapore Straits, at the most strategic point on one of the world’s major trade routes, with the South Chine Sea to the east, and Malacca Straits and Indian Ocean to the west, it was only a matter of time before it became the major transshipment hub, of south Asia. Singapore’s, maritime trading activities on the northern banks of the Singapore River had existed from the late 13th century, when a port settlement was established by a sultan from Palembang, known as Seri Teri Buana. During those times, Singapore was known as Temasek and was one of many port cities that had sprung up along the Strait of Malacca. Changes and liberalization to China’s maritime trade policy saw many Chinese ships calling at Southeast Asian countries, to source goods and cargoes for their growing home markets. Besides acquiring and exporting products from nearby regions such as South Johor and the Riau Archipelago, Singapore also dispensed goods landed by ships from China, Southeast Asia, and India, to the neighboring regions. Upon the arrival of Stamford Raffles in Singapore in 1819, his main aim was to establish a trading post for the British East India Company.
