Singapura Secara Keseluruhan Mempunyai Lebih 70 Pulau Di Perairannya Balik ke Pulau Ramai anak kota mungkin tidak sedar bahawa Singapura secara keseluruhan mempunyai lebih 70 pulau di perairannya. Puluhan tahun lalu, pulau-pulau itu didiami penduduk yang terpaksa berpindah ke tanah besar bagi memberi laluan kepada pembangunan dan perindustrian. Beberapa pulau kini hanya tinggal nama selepas ditambak dan digabungkan namun kisah dan sejarah mereka tidak harus dilupakan. Sempena pesta warisan ‘Singapore HeritageFest’ tahun ini, Lembaga Warisan Negara (NHB) menganjurkan pameran berjudul Balik Pulau: Kisah-kisah dari Kepulauan Singapura di Muzium Negara Singapura. Pameran itu memaparkan sejarah beberapa pulau di perairan Singapura dan pengalaman bekas penduduknya.

    Planning for a Secure City Undergirding the perceptible dimensions of a liveable city—a bustling economy, dazzling skyline, state-of-the-art public infrastructure and amenities—is its ability to provide its inhabitants and visitors alike the confidence that their personal STUDIES URBAN SYSTEMS safety is ensured and safeguarded. Yet, at times, balancing security and urban design needs presents unique, though not insurmountable, challenges. This Urban Systems Study charts the critical role that security planning and urban design have together played in Singapore’s transformation from being the crime-ridden city that it was some 50 years ago to one of the safest places in the world today. It discusses the country’s use of innovative ideas and technology, its pragmatic approach to security enforcement and urban planning, and its willingness to challenge traditional Planning for A Secure City norms of security provision where necessary. It also examines how neither liveability nor security was compromised in Planning for Singapore’s plans to better prepare itself for emerging security and societal threats. a Secure City This book additionally highlights how the co-opting or active involvement of the public in various security-related initiatives, and the resulting trust built between the government and people, have complemented and enhanced the efforts of Singapore’s security and planning agencies in creating a secure city. “ A good city, first you must feel safe in it.

    green matters Annual Report 2015/16 2 GREEN MATTERS NPARKS ANNUAL REPORT 2015/16 3 green matters Access to greenery is integral to Singapore’s efforts to improve the quality of life for her residents. Singapore’s green infrastructure has grown with more parks, green spaces and Nature Ways. Ecological resilience has been strengthened through sustained conservation efforts and the establishment of Nature Parks and reserves. Significant efforts have also been made to ensure that all residents can gain access to our parks and gardens. The greening of Singapore is important in creating a quality living environment, but it is not a task that NParks can undertake alone. It is a constant work in progress that involves people from all walks of life, coming together with a shared vision – and conviction that green matters – to continue shaping Singapore into a City in a Garden. 04 GREEN MATTERS NPARKS ANNUAL REPORT 2015/16 05 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE “We have taken to heart the role of greenery as a social equaliser, moving beyond convenience and proximity of our green spaces to ensure accessibility for all. ” As a nation, our challenge for Beyond SG50 is to improve as a social equaliser, moving beyond convenience and liveability for all Singaporeans. At the National Parks proximity of our green spaces to ensure accessibility for Board (NParks), our role in this mission is clear – to all. We opened an inclusive playground at Bishan-Ang develop our City in a Garden in a sustainable and Mo Kio Park last year, enabling children with special inclusive manner.

  • “S.S. KUALA” Researched Passenger List Sunk at Pom Pong Island 14 February 1942 [Version 6.8.0; April 2017]
    “S.S. KUALA” Researched Passenger List Sunk at Pom Pong Island 14 February 1942 [Version 6.8.0; April 2017] Preface: This list and document have been compiled as a memorial and out of empathy and respect to the women, children and men who lost their lives in that cruel attack by Japanese bombers on the small coastal ship, converted into an auxiliary vessel, “SS. Kuala” on 14 February 1942, twelve hours after it escaped from Singapore. This was the day before Singapore surrendered to the Japanese. Many of the women and children were killed on the ship itself, but even more by continued direct bombing and machine gunning of the sea by Japanese bombers whilst they were desperately trying to swim the few hundred yards to safety on the shores of Pom Pong Island. Many others were swept away by the strong currents which are a feature around Pom Pong Island and, despite surviving for several days, only a handful made it to safety. The Captain of the “Kuala”, Lieutenant Caithness, recorded of the moment “…thirty men and women floated past on rafts and drifted east and then south – west, however only three survivors were picked up off a raft on the Indragiri River, a man and his wife and an army officer…”. The bombing continued even onto the Island itself as the survivors scrambled across slippery rocks and up the steep slopes of the jungle tangled hills of this small uninhabited island in the Indonesian Archipelago – once again, Caithness, recorded “…but when the struggling women were between the ships and the rocks the Jap had turned and deliberately bombed the women in the sea and those struggling on the rocks…”.

  • 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.
