Permission required for reproduction Creative thinking and exploration: Art university breeds talent in the era of innovation As digital technology becomes of greater importance in the post-COVID era, more attention must be given to arts and humanities education. Thought leaders, creative professionals and scholars have pointed out that an education in the arts trains students to develop innovation and creativity, which are more and more sought after in the new economy. In early March 2021 during the Ministry of Education’s Committee of Supply Debate, Minister of Education Mr Lawrence Wong announced that Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) and LASALLE College of the Arts will form an alliance to establish Singapore’s first university of the arts. This university will leverage on the strengths of the two institutions, enabling each to award its own university degrees. A 17-member pro-tem committee, headed by Professor Chan Heng Chee, Ambassador-at-Large at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will work with both institutions to develop the structure and operating model of the new university, which is expected to be up and ready in early 2023. According to the Presidents of both institutions, innovation and adaptability are skills which Singapore needs in the new digital era and these are best cultivated through an education in the arts. “Art, science and technology have long moved past the need for silos.

  • Reading Newspapers with the Elderly 陪你看报纸
    Reading Newspapers with the Elderly 陪你看报纸 A community initiative by Lianhe Wanbao & Lianhe Zaobao Singapore Engage • Enrich • Empower Since August 2014, Singapore’s Chinese dailies Lianhe Wanbao and Lianhe Zaobao have been promoting engagement with its matured readers with the Reading Newspapers with the Elderly initiative. For three times a week, our newsroom volunteers visit elderly Singaporeans and discuss the week’s hottest news with them. Through this simple but unique initiative, we hope to enrich the seniors’ lives and empower them to stay active, mentally and physically, and enjoy a fulfilling retirement. Why did we launch this initiative? Singapore’s population is ageing at an unprecedented rate. As the post-war Baby Boomers retire from workforce and enter their silver years, elderly population will grow rapidly in the next few decades. Many of our senior citizens are neither literate nor familiar with the English language, and the language barrier has made it difficult for the Chinese- speaking elderly to keep up with the fast-evolving society. Lianhe Zaobao and Lianhe Wanbao value the spiritual needs of our senior citizens and would like to do our part to help them lead a fulfilling retirement. As editors and journalists, we report on news of public interests every day. News is what we do best, so we believe that reading newspapers with the elderly is one way we can contribute to this cause. Why is this important? Many seniors in Singapore face the “empty nest syndrome”. Their children are often away and they only have the television and other seniors as company.

  • Audible Pasts: History, Sound and Human Experience in Southeast Asia1

Audible pasts: History, sound and human experience in Southeast Asia. KEMANUSIAAN the Asian Journal of Humanities 25(Supp. 1): 1–19, https://doi.org/10.21315/kajh2018.25.s1.1 To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/kajh2018.25.s1.1 Abstract. Although historians of traditional Southeast Asian cultures rely primarily on written sources, the societies they study were intensely oral and aural. Research on sound in Southeast Asia has focused on music and musicology, but historians are now considering the wide variety of noises to which people were exposed, and how the interpretations and understanding of these sounds shaped human experience. This article uses an 1899 court case in Singapore concerning a noisy neighbour as a departure point to consider some of the ways in which “noise” was heard in traditional Southeast Asian societies. Focusing on Singapore, it shows that European attitudes influenced the attitudes of the colonial administration towards loud noise, especially in the streets. By the late 19th century, the view that sleep was necessary for good health, and that noise interfered with sleep, was well established. The changing soundscape of Singapore in the early 20th century led to increasing middle class demands for government action to limit urban noise, although these were largely ineffective.

    6th International Conference on Electronics, Mechanics, Culture and Medicine (EMCM 2015) The Singapore English Press in The 1970s Lingyi Huang College of Foreign Languages and Cultures Xiamen University Xiamen, China [email protected] Keywords: English Press; Singapore; Media; newspaper; 1970s Abstract. The English Press in Singapore has unique features in a country that functions under Authoritarian System. In the 1970s, the whole press (both English and Chinese) faced challenges and pressure from the control of the government. Tightening measures and laws were implemented, therefore the English press had to readjust the orientation and tried to cater to the need of nation- building and fostering of the spirit of being Singaporeans. The period in the 1970s was the time that both sides had the fiercest conflicts and the key stage the government began to lay down the complete and effective supervision system. A careful and thorough analysis into the English press at that time helps to reveal a more profound picture of that special phrase and paves the way to a deeper understanding between power and media. Introduction In a multicultural and multi-lingual society, Singapore English press has its unique features in the development in a post-colonial age. In 1965, Singapore gain independence and founded the republic, proclaiming the opening of a new age, with the People‟s Action Party dominating the government. The new government faced challenges not only in national economy after a long colonial age, but a defiant press circle that pursued the “Fourth Estate” concept which is popular in western press. How to effectively control the press, especially the English press and how English press reacted to a series of tightening measure from the government? The English press had presumed what kind of role after several rounds of fight and concession? These are all the important questions I would like to find out in the following analysis.
