  • Mr S Iswaran, Minister of State for Trade and Industry, at The
    Mr S Iswaran, Minister of State for Trade and Industry, at the Committee of Supply Debate (Ministry of Trade and Industry) on Monday, 3 March 2008, 1.00pm, in reply to cuts (k) to (o) under Head V INTRODUCTION 1. Mr Chairman, my Minister has elaborated on our overall strategy for growing the Singapore economy. While we have done well in recent years, we must continue to pursue new growth areas and opportunities. As several members have pointed out, we must ascend the value chain into higher value- added activities in all sectors including the energy, tourism, and R&D. Indeed, this is the most robust strategy to ensure sustained growth, create good quality jobs for Singaporeans, and help us face the many challenges that lie ahead for our economy and country. ENERGY FOR GROWTH 2. Energy is a critical resource for any economy including ours. Our aim is to ensure that we have secure energy supplies at competitive prices while we stay true and sensitive to our environment. The simple truth is that we may have now entered an era of higher global energy prices, a structural shift, as Mr Liang Eng Hwa has pointed out. The global demand for energy will increase and the supply constraints are self-evident. 3. At last year’s COS, I spoke of the formation of an inter-agency Energy Policy Group chaired by the Ministry of Trade and Industry. Since then, we have launched our first National Energy Policy Report. The title of this report - “Energy For Growth” - succinctly articulates the Government’s thinking and highlights the triangle of tensions that we face between Economic Competitiveness, Environmental Sustainability and Energy Security.

  • 4 Comparative Law and Constitutional Interpretation in Singapore: Insights from Constitutional Theory 114 ARUN K THIRUVENGADAM
    Evolution of a Revolution Between 1965 and 2005, changes to Singapore’s Constitution were so tremendous as to amount to a revolution. These developments are comprehensively discussed and critically examined for the first time in this edited volume. With its momentous secession from the Federation of Malaysia in 1965, Singapore had the perfect opportunity to craft a popularly-endorsed constitution. Instead, it retained the 1958 State Constitution and augmented it with provisions from the Malaysian Federal Constitution. The decision in favour of stability and gradual change belied the revolutionary changes to Singapore’s Constitution over the next 40 years, transforming its erstwhile Westminster-style constitution into something quite unique. The Government’s overriding concern with ensuring stability, public order, Asian values and communitarian politics, are not without their setbacks or critics. This collection strives to enrich our understanding of the historical antecedents of the current Constitution and offers a timely retrospective assessment of how history, politics and economics have shaped the Constitution. It is the first collaborative effort by a group of Singapore constitutional law scholars and will be of interest to students and academics from a range of disciplines, including comparative constitutional law, political science, government and Asian studies. Dr Li-ann Thio is Professor of Law at the National University of Singapore where she teaches public international law, constitutional law and human rights law. She is a Nominated Member of Parliament (11th Session). Dr Kevin YL Tan is Director of Equilibrium Consulting Pte Ltd and Adjunct Professor at the Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore where he teaches public law and media law.

  • PRIME MINISTER's TRIBUTE to the LATE PRESIDENT, DR BENJAMIN HENRY SHEARES, in PARLIAMENT on 12 JUNE 1981 Mr Deputy Speaker
    1 PRIME MINISTER’S TRIBUTE TO THE LATE PRESIDENT, DR BENJAMIN HENRY SHEARES, IN PARLIAMENT ON 12 JUNE 1981 Mr Deputy Speaker, I rise to speak in memory of the late President Dr Benjamin Henry Sheares. He was born on 12 August 1907 in Singapore, the son of a former Public Works Department technical supervisor. He was educated at the Methodist Girls’ School, Raffles Institution and the King Edward VII College of Medicine. I first knew him 41 years ago in 1940 when he moved into a house diagonally opposite where I was living in Norfolk Road. He was a rising gynaecologist at Kandang Kerbau Hospital. He had won a Queen’s Fellowship for two years post-graduate study in Britain. He could not go because of the outbreak of World War II. During the Japanese occupation, he was to become Head of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Kandang Kerbau Hospital and Medical Superintendent of a hospital for the local patients section, in other words in charge of all other than Japanese patients. lky/1981/lky0612.doc 2 I moved from Norfolk Road in 1944. In those 3 ½ years we lived opposite each other, we were not close friends. I was 15 years his junior; but we knew each other. At the end of 1970, when our first President, Yusof Ishak, died, the Cabinet considered several persons for a successor. Dr Benjamin Sheares was the most eminent. He was so obviously a suitable choice. The Cabinet agreed that I approached him. He was surprised, delighted, and, at the same time, apprehensive.

Beginning in 1942 under difficult conditions he pioneered many improvements in the management of obstetrical and gynaecological patients, and also improved the services and facilities at Kandang Kerbau Hospital so that maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity were markedly reduced. In January 1951 he became the first Singaporean to be appointed Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in the university, and achieved reknown in his service to patients, the teaching of undergraduates and postgraduates, and in clinical research. His surgical treatment of vaginal agenesis was acknowledged interna- tionally. He was elected President of the Republic of Singapore on 30th December 1970 by Parliament and during his three terms spanning one decade he discharged his duties with thoroughness, distinction, tolerance and a quiet dignity. When he died on 12th May 1981 85,000 people, identifying with his humble origins and his achievements through self-reliance and meritocracy, paid their last respects to him. He had set an example on how to live and depart this life.

  • FOREIGN INVESTORS IMPROVING the URBAN QUALITY the Relation Between Urban Planning and the Establishment of Multinational Companies in Singapore 1965 - 2010
    FOREIGN INVESTORS IMPROVING THE URBAN QUALITY The relation between urban planning and the establishment of multinational companies in Singapore 1965 - 2010 Abstract Singapore is a city-state that experienced very rapid urban and economic growth during the second half of the 20th century. This is the result of the establishment of multinational companies (MNCs) within Singapore, due to the right policymaking by the Singapore government. Various studies have been done on Singapore’s economic growth and urban development. However, the literature that looks at the relation between these topics is limited. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to find out how urban design and the establishment of MNC’s are interconnected. The research is conducted through existing literature reviews on interest factors that are important for MNC’s decision-making. These factors are linked to urban design aspects that are integrated within Singapore’s city structure. Aspects that will be taken into consideration are infrastructure and green spaces. Next, the impact of MNC establishment on the urban design aspects of Singapore’s CBD will be analysed through the use of primary sources. The main findings are that the quality of urban design is of insignificant importance for the establishment of MNCs in the early development stages. Urban design influence for future investment decisions remains unclear. However, the investments from MNCs were a major factor that shaped the CBD’s urban design into what it is today. Introduction Today Singapore is referred to as the “Garden city” or “City in a Garden” and is seen as one of the most futuristic cities on earth (Culture Trip, 2020).
