But more importantly, he changed the lives of many who worked alongside him and in his public career initiated policies that have fundamentally shaped the destiny of Singapore. Our primary memories of Dr Goh will be through an awareness and understanding of the post-World War II anti-colonialist and nationalist struggle for independence in which Dr Goh played a key, if backstage, role until 1959. Thereafter, Dr Goh is remembered as the country’s economic and social architect as well as its defence strategist and one of Lee Kuan Yew’s ablest and most trusted lieutenants in our narrating of what has come to be recognised as “The Singapore Story”.

My name is Annah Bachman and I have the honor of serving as your Crisis Director. I am a third year Political Science and Philosophy double major here at UNC-Chapel Hill and have been involved with MUNCH since my freshman year. I’ve previously served as a staffer for the Democratic National Committee and as the Crisis Director for the Security Council for past MUNCH conferences. This past fall semester I studied at the National University of Singapore where my idea of the Malaysian Parliament in 1965 was formed. Through my experience of living in Singapore for a semester and studying its foreign policy, it has been fascinating to see how the “traumatic” separation of Singapore has influenced its current policies and relations with its surrounding countries. Our committee is going back in time to just before Singapore’s separation from the Malaysian peninsula to see how ethnic and racial tensions, trade policies, and good old fashioned diplomacy will unfold. Delegates should keep in mind that there is a difference between Southeast Asian diplomacy and traditional Western diplomacy (hint: think “ASEAN way”).

  • 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. By Me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just; by Me princes govern, and nobles—all who rule on earth.” Proverbs 8:14-16 iii Acknowledgments I thank my committee members Professor R.

  • Event to Honor Professor Dr. Puey Ungphakorn As One of the Worlds Great Personalities (18/3/2016)
    Event to Honor Professor Dr. Puey Ungphakorn as One of the Worlds Great Personalities (18/3/2016) Deputy Education Minister Thirakiat Charoensethasilp has presided over the opening of an event to honor Professor Dr. Puey Ungphakorn, who has been named among the worlds great personalities by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The event took place at the Sriburapha Auditorium, Thammasat University, in Bangkok. UNESCO honors Dr. Puey on the occasion of the centenary of his birth in 2016. Thailands nomination of Dr. Puey was approved at the 38th session of the UNESCO\'s General Conference, held in Paris between 3 and 18 November 2015. His name is listed in UNESCOs Calendar of Anniversaries of Great Personalities and Historic Events, 2016-2017. Dr. Puey Ungphakorn, educator and economist (1916-1999), was former Governor of the Bank of Thailand and Rector of Thammasat University. He is widely recognized as one of the fathers of Thailands post-World War II economic development, as well as a prominent educator and civil servant of impeccable ethics, who has had a major impact on national development. Dr. Puey played a central role in the shaping of Thailands economic development and in the strengthening of its system of higher education. His capacity to strike a compromise between what was objectively possible and morally desirable was an extraordinary accomplishment. It had a particular impact on younger people, almost all of whose models have traditionally been either successful rogues, who manipulate their social environment for their own advantage, or martyrs who succumb to it.

  • A Cultural History of the Singapore Arts Festival, 1959 to 2012
    Designing Culture, Policies and Festivals: A Cultural History of the Singapore Arts Festival, 1959 to 2012 VENKATESWARA PURUSHOTHAMAN ORCID ID: 0000-0003-0861-3824 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY July 2017 Screen & Cultural Studies School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Abstract This thesis studies the culture and cultural policies of postcolonial Singapore to chart the cultural history of the Singapore Arts Festival from 1959 to 2012. The study undertakes a detailed examination of the production of culture and contextualises the morphing cultural landscape that informs the Singapore Arts Festival. This thesis is in two parts. Part One sets out the historical contexts and conditions that inform the nature and direction of the Singapore Arts Festival. It studies the design of culture built around multiculturalism, Asian Values and Shared Values and shows how dynamic and pragmatic cultural policies weave these ideas into economic and cultural development in Singapore. The thesis sketches the role of arts in nation-building in the late 20th century and how the role metamorphoses to support economic imperatives of the 21st century. This sets the backdrop for the study of the Singapore Arts Festival. Part Two maps the cultural history of the Singapore Arts Festival through the study of all documented arts festivals from 1959 to 2012. The thesis shows how the Singapore Arts Festival harnessed artistic communities, inspired audiences, developed new platforms for the arts and became an artistic creator and arbiter of cutting-edge performances and productions for a global arts market.
