    US Chief of Naval Operations Receives Prestigious Military Award 13 May 2013 The US Chief of Naval Operations, ADM Jonathan William Greenert inspecting the Guard of Honour at MINDEF. The Chief of Naval Operations of the United States Navy (USN), Admiral (ADM) Jonathan William Greenert, was conferred Singapore's prestigious military award, the Pingat Jasa Gemilang (Tentera) [or the Meritorious Service Medal (Military)] by Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen at an investiture held at the Ministry of Defence this afternoon. The Meritorious Service Medal (Military) was awarded to ADM Greenert in recognition of his invaluable contributions in enhancing and expanding the excellent ties between the USN and the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). Under ADM Greenert's leadership, professional interactions between the two navies have grown significantly in both scope and depth. For example, through the bilateral Co-operation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) exercises and the multilateral Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise, the USN and RSN continue to engage each other in high-end warfare training and missile firings. Both navies also interact regularly through other exercises, ship visits, technology collaboration and cross-attendance of courses, and at multilateral fora such as the Western Pacific Naval Symposium and the ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting (ADMM)-Plus. Such interactions provide mutual professional benefits and strengthen interoperability and understanding between the two navies. Following the award ceremony, ADM Greenert said, "It is truly an honour to receive this award from the Singapore Ministry of Defence. We have a strong and growing defence relationship with Singapore, as well as an excellent relationship with the Republic of Singapore Navy.

ADMINISTRATIVE AND CONSTITUTIONAL LAW THIO Li-ann BA (Oxon) (Hons), LLM (Harvard), PhD (Cantab); Barrister (Gray’s Inn, UK); Provost Chair Professor, Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore. Introduction 1.1 In terms of administrative law, the decided cases showed some insight into the role of courts in relation to: handing over town council management to another political party after a general election, the susceptibility of professional bodies which are vested with statutory powers like the Law Society review committee to judicial review; as well as important observations on substantive legitimate expectations and developments in exceptions to the rule against bias on the basis of necessity, and how this may apply to private as opposed to statutory bodies. Many of the other cases affirmed existing principles of administrative legality and the need for an evidential basis to sustain an argument. For example, a bare allegation of bias without evidence cannot be sustained; allegations of bias cannot arise when a litigant is simply made to follow well-established court procedures.1 1.2 Most constitutional law cases revolved around Art 9 issues. Judicial observations on the nature or scope of specific constitutional powers were made in cases not dealing directly with constitutional arguments. See Kee Oon JC in Karthigeyan M Kailasam v Public Prosecutor2 noted the operation of a presumption of legality and good faith in relation to acts of public officials; the Prosecution, in particular, is presumed “to act in the public interest at all times”, in relation to all prosecuted cases from the first instance to appellate level.

  • Caring for Our People: 50 Years of Healthcare in Singapore
    Caring for our People Prime Minister’s Message Good health is important for individuals, for families, and for our society. It is the foundation for our people’s vitality and optimism, and a reflection of our nation’s prosperity and success. A healthy community is also a happy one. Singapore has developed our own system for providing quality healthcare to all. Learning from other countries and taking advantage of a young population, we invested in preventive health, new healthcare facilities and developing our healthcare workforce. We designed a unique financing system, where individuals receive state subsidies for public healthcare but at the same time can draw upon the 3Ms – Medisave, MediShield and Medifund – to pay for their healthcare needs. As responsible members of society, each of us has to save for our own healthcare needs, pay our share of the cost, and make good and sensible decisions about using healthcare services. Our healthcare outcomes are among the best in the world. Average life expectancy is now 83 years, compared with 65 years in 1965. The infant mortality rate is 2 per 1,000 live births, down from 26 per 1,000 live births 50 years ago. This book is dedicated to all those in the Government policies have adapted to the times. We started by focusing on sanitation and public health and went on healthcare sector who laid the foundations to develop primary, secondary and tertiary health services. In recent years, we have enhanced government subsidies of a healthy nation in the years gone by, substantially to ensure that healthcare remains affordable.

By Kelvin Wong Synopsis Defence Minister Dr Ng Eng Hen expressed the desire to replace a number of ageing air force fighter aircraft during the latest parliamentary budget debate. The Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) seems to be in the leading position to be Singapore’s next-generation fighter. Commentary SINGAPORE IS poised to make a decision on acquiring new fighter aircraft to replace an ageing segment of its fleet. At the 2013 Committee of Supply (COS) debate for the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF), Defence Minister Dr Ng Eng Hen expressed Singapore’s desire to acquire new military platforms for the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), particularly for the air force and navy. Noting that two of the Republic of Singapore Air Force's (RSAF's) main air combat platforms are either approaching the mid-life or end of their operational life cycles, Dr Ng revealed that the defence ministry is close to completing its evaluation of the JSF as a potential replacement for its ageing fighters.
