Possibility Annual Report 2004 / 2005 KNOWLEDGE I IMAGINATION | POSSIBILITY ANNUAL REPORT 2004 / 2005 Realise POSSIBILITY Topiary The art of topiary epitomises the concept of realising possibility. With imagination and skill, it transforms an ordinary, shapeless hedge or plant into imaginative shapes and objects. The National Library Board continues in its mission to encourage learning and the habit of reading which is key to gaining knowledge. Through the acquisition of knowledge, one will be equipped with skills to shape ideas and thoughts into new possibilities. Dolphin A dolphin emerging from the sea is fluid, not static and symbolises the spectrum of possibility. A dolphin is also among the most intelligent mammals after human beings and appropriately depicts learning and knowledge.

This starts with an interest in reading, and in acquiring knowledge and skills. The library can and should play that role in inculcating the love for reading, especially amongst the young. The young learn from the example of their seniors - parents, teachers, and older friends. In our efforts to keep up with technology and new developments, we should not inadvertently make it an intimidating place for anyone Ms Lim Soo Hoon to visit the library. Outreach activities like reading programmes, will be a key focus for us to draw these Chairman groups, especially children, to the library. National Library Board One of the strategic thrusts of Library 2000 was to build links with the community to promote ties and garner private sector support. This will continue to be an important goal. The library is not just a government institution - it belongs to every Singaporean and the only way to get people to feel ownership of the library is for it to be an intrinsic part of the community.

  • 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.

  • Poh Cheng Khoo Interrogating the Women Warrior
    MIT4 Panel: "Asian Warrior Womanhood in Storytelling." Poh Cheng Khoo Interrogating the Women Warrior: War, Patriotism and Family Loyalty in Lady Warriors of the Yang Family (2001). The medieval Chinese are known to be heavily patriarchal, but even such a culture produced many formidable women warriors…Daughters of prominent military families trained in the martial arts. Wives of generals were often chosen for their battle skills. The Yang family of the Song Dynasty (960-1279 CE) was one such military family. When the men were decimated on various military assignments, their wives, mothers, sisters and even maidservants took their places on the battlefield. (“Warriors: Asian women in Asian society”) “No group of women in Chinese history has commanded so much prestige and respect as the ladies of the Yang family. They are revered as great patriots who were willing to lay down their lives for the sake of their country” (Lu Yanguang, 100 Celebrated Chinese Women, 149). The genesis of this paper lies in a 40-part retelling of one of the more enduring woman warrior stories of historical China. When I saw this particular 2001 TV series which loosely translates into Lady Warriors of the Yang Family, I was working on my dissertation involving Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior and hence the iconic figure of Fa Mu Lan. Contrary to Mulan’s concealment of gender in battle, here was a family of woman warriors from some ten centuries ago, none of whom had to compromise their true biological identity by cross-dressing or, according to Judith Lorber’s definition, turning “transvestite” (Richardson et al [eds.] 42).

Games We Play On Singapore Telly In the mid 1990s, Singapore opened its doors to the international broadcasting community. The past four years in particular have seen steady policy-driven liberalisation of its print, television and multimedia industries. This has jumpstarted the local TV production industry and stimulated terrestrial network competition. While the two terrestrial TV networks compete voraciously for a small, fragmented, multilingual and increasingly sophisticated domestic TV audience, the localisation of international TV game show formats like Millionaire and The Weakest Link appear as attractive solutions to consolidate and build the audience base. TV gameshow formats have become one of the ‘formatting’ strategies that this industry employs to develop ‘local knowledge’ and ‘position’ themselves in the battle for audience ratings and eyeballs. This article will present findings and offer new insight into the impact of TV formats on the local television production, programming and audiences in Singapore.
