    The Enduring Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew

    THE STRAITS TIMES By Invitation The enduring ideas of Lee Kuan Yew Kishore Mahbubani (mailto:[email protected]) PUBLISHED MAR 12, 2016, 5:00 AM SGT Integrity, institutions and independence - these are three ideas the writer hopes will endure for Singapore. March 23 will mark the first anniversary of the passing of Mr Lee Kuan Yew. On that day, the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy will be organising a forum, The Enduring Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew. The provost of NUS, Professor Tan Eng Chye, will open the forum. The four distinguished panellists will be Ambassador-at-Large Chan Heng Chee, Foreign Secretary of India S. Jaishankar, Dr Shashi Jayakumar and Mr Zainul Abidin Rasheed. This forum will undoubtedly produce a long list of enduring ideas, although only time will tell which ideas will really endure. History is unpredictable. It does not move in a straight line. Towards the end of their terms, leaders such as Mr Jawaharlal Nehru, Mr Ronald Reagan and Mrs Margaret Thatcher were heavily criticised. Yet, all three are acknowledged today to be among the great leaders of the 20th century. It is always difficult to anticipate the judgment of history. ST ILLUSTRATION : MIEL If I were to hazard a guess, I would suggest that three big ideas of Mr Lee that will stand the test of time are integrity, institutions and the independence of Singapore. I believe that these three ideas have been hardwired into the Singapore body politic and will last. INTEGRITY The culture of honesty and integrity that Mr Lee and his fellow founding fathers created is truly a major gift to Singapore.

    Singapore — the Biopolis of Asia

    www.asiabiotech.com Singapore — The Biopolis of Asia Singapore — The Biopolis of Asia by Dr. Swan Gin Beh Director, Biomedical Sciences Group, Singapore Economic Development Board, Singapore ingapore’s vision is to become a global hub for the biomedical sciences (BMS). Although Singapore’s involvement in BMS goes back to the 1970s when Beecham Pharmaceuticals established a semi-synthetic Spenicillin plant, the major push started in year 2000 as part of the government’s effort to diversify the country’s economic portfolio. The goal is to develop the BMS industry — comprising pharmaceuticals, medical technology, biotechnology and healthcare services — into a key pillar of our economy. With this in mind, Singapore has built up world-class capabilities across the entire value chain; from drug discovery, product development and clinical research to manufacturing and health care delivery. Three agencies have the primary responsibility for implementing Singapore’s BMS initiative. EDB’s BMS Group (BMSG) formulates the industry development plans and attracts international companies to set up operations in Singapore. EDB’s biomedical investment arm, Bio*One Capital, makes strategic investments in companies with the aim of generating economic spin-offs in Singapore, while A*STAR’s Biomedical Research Council (BMRC) takes the lead in coordinating and funding public sector and academic research, as well as supporting the training of scientists. The effort is spearheaded by Mr. Philip Yeo, Chairman of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and Co-chairman of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) with specifically responsibility for the BMS initiative. Mr. Yeo was previously Chairman of EDB for more than 15 years and played a key role in developing Singapore’s disk drive, semiconductor and chemical industries.

  • Transparency and Authoritarian Rule in Southeast Asia

    Transparency and Authoritarian Rule in Southeast Asia

    TRANSPARENCY AND AUTHORITARIAN RULE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA The 1997–98 Asian economic crisis raised serious questions for the remaining authoritarian regimes in Southeast Asia, not least the hitherto outstanding economic success stories of Singapore and Malaysia. Could leaders presiding over economies so heavily dependent on international capital investment ignore the new mantra among multilateral financial institutions about the virtues of ‘transparency’? Was it really a universal functional requirement for economic recovery and advancement? Wasn’t the free flow of ideas and information an anathema to authoritarian rule? In Transparency and Authoritarian Rule in Southeast Asia Garry Rodan rejects the notion that the economic crisis was further evidence that ulti- mately capitalism can only develop within liberal social and political insti- tutions, and that new technology necessarily undermines authoritarian control. Instead, he argues that in Singapore and Malaysia external pres- sures for transparency reform were, and are, in many respects, being met without serious compromise to authoritarian rule or the sanctioning of media freedom. This book analyses the different content, sources and significance of varying pressures for transparency reform, ranging from corporate dis- closures to media liberalisation. It will be of equal interest to media analysts and readers keen to understand the implications of good governance debates and reforms for democratisation. For Asianists this book offers sharp insights into the process of change – political, social and economic – since the Asian crisis.

    Integrating the Planning of Airports and the City: The Singapore Story As a former British colony, Singapore had flourished as a trading port-of-call due to its strategic location along the shipping route between Asia and Europe. However, neither its STUDIES URBAN SYSTEMS past colonial links nor geography could guarantee its continued success in the oncoming jet age. For the newly independent government formed in 1965, there were several fundamental national priorities, such as housing, job creation, education and infrastructure. However, a strategic decision was taken to build a new commercial international airport at Changi—a hefty mega-infrastructure that carried both substantial costs and risks for a land-strapped island which already had four airports. Such a decision bore far-reaching consequences in terms of land use, transport, Story The Singapore the Planning of Airports and City: Integrating industrial planning, defence, residential and social spaces. Integrating the In this Urban Systems Study, readers will learn about the comprehensive planning that went into the development of Planning of Changi Airport, and the integrated manner in which it was carried out. It additionally explores Singapore’s experience in Airports and navigating the unique urban-planning constraints and trade- offs brought about by both civilian and military airports, and examines the systematic approach taken to capitalise the City: on airport developments to catalyse urban and economic development. The Singapore Story “ Changi Airport is our major investment to exploit our geographic location. Singapore must be prepared and ready to seize every opportunity that comes its way. Whether we have been extravagant in investing in an airport of this size and level of sophistication is a question worthy of a rhetorical rejoinder.
