The study asks, what is the primary reason Worker’s Party, the strongest opposition party in Singapore, did not pursue the formation of a pre-electoral coalition? I analyzed the pre-existing theories and conducted fieldwork, interviewing opposition party leaders, academics and activists, to ascertain a direct impediment and not just a background condition to coalition building.

  • Election Rallies: Performances in Dissent, Identity, Personalities and Power
    Election Rallies: Performances in Dissent, Identity, Personalities and Power Terence Chong INTRODUCTION Election rallies are ephemeral performances. Staged at every election cycle, they animate the hearts of Singaporeans, and then disappear after precious few days of campaigning leaving nothing but the echo of sound, fury and possibilities. It is at the election rally where the speaker performs, unedited and unsupervised, for the favour of Singaporeans, and where the Singaporean, driven by the twin demands of curiosity and affirmation, goes to seek herself in the midst of strangers. At the rally everyone, whether student, taxi driver, or manager, becomes, just briefly, the object of the speaker’s affections, the object of desire who may return the affection or spurn the suitor. Election rallies are political performances alien to other resolutely Singaporean spaces like the mainstream media or public forums where thick decorum and practiced deference conspire to neutralise the visceral and intuitive. There were a total of 67 rallies over an eight day period from 28 April to 5 May across the island. Being the incumbent, the Peoples’ Action Party (PAP) staged 26 rallies all over the island. Meanwhile the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) nine rallies; the Workers’ Party (WP) and the National Solidarity Party (NSP) eight each; the Singapore People’s Party (SPP) six; the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) three; and the Reform Party (RP) seven. The combination of funding limitations and strategic planning meant that most Opposition parties held only one rally a night, thus contributing to the larger crowds in comparison to the PAP rallies. The crowd turnout at PAP rallies usually ranged from a few hundreds to a couple of thousands.

  • Resisting Regime Change in Singapore: Governmentality and the Impact of the Internet
    Resisting Regime Change in Singapore: Governmentality and the Impact of the Internet Natasha Diana Bissett Bachelor of International Studies (Hons) School of International Studies Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences Flinders University Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. September, 2013. Page Left Deliberately Blank. Thesis Summary The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the nuances of the Singapore Government that have kept the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) in government continuously since 1959. I argue continued sophisticated governance perpetuates into the conceivable future. Whereas other scholars have focused on singular specific elements of Singaporean society, I analyse the Government’s control of the media, civil activism, and elections, and the impact of the internet within each sector. Furthermore, I argue that these three sectors are intertwined in their involvement with each other and the Government. Within this thesis, I apply to Singapore’s governance the theory of governmentality, developed by Michel Foucault. Governmentality is the manner in which authority influences the conduct of others, by methods including heavy-handed punishment, discipline in specifically created and managed microcosms, and the encouragement of self-regulation by actors. The ultimate goal of governmentality is for the population to fulfill the desired ends of the sovereign authority. Governmentality also contains a significant degree of flexibility to modify the methods of government as appropriate. In Singapore, this realignment of governmentality has seen decrease in heavy-handedness in favour of greater use of discipline and self-government. This is a unique use of Foucault’s theories within the body of scholarship on Singapore’s politics and society.

  • Singapore's 2011 General Elections and Beyond: Beating the PAP at Its
    ELVIN ONG AND MOU HUI TIM Singapore’s 2011 General Elections and Beyond Beating the PAP at Its Own Game ABSTRACT We introduce the concept of a ‘‘credibility gap’’ to explain why the Workers’ Party has been more successful than other opposition political parties in recent elections in Singapore. We argue that opposition parties need to overcome a credible commit- ment problem with the electorate in order to win against hegemonic parties. KEYWORDS: electoral authoritarianism, hegemonic party regimes, credible com- mitment, democratization, Singapore INTRODUCTION Singapore has been ‘‘one of the most outstandingly stubborn cases of author- itarianism’’1 in East Asia, and is a classical case of electoral authoritarianism.2 Its enduring brand of ‘‘soft authoritarianism’’3 amid rapid economic devel- opment has consistently puzzled modernization theorists who argue that economic development results in democratization. In the Singapore general ELVIN ONG is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Political Science at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. His research interests include authoritarian regimes and the political economy of development in East and Southeast Asia.

  • Transcript of Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong's Media
    TRANSCRIPT OF SENIOR MINISTER GOH CHOK TONG’S MEDIA INTERVIEW ON 2 MAY 2011 AT 6 PM Q: “The opposition has brought up the ministers’ salaries again. The question can it be the other way around for salaries to strengthen the link with the average Singaporean?” Mr Goh: “It depends on who you are targeting. We are targeting the top performers in Singapore who are in the private sector as well as those in the public service to bring into politics. So we therefore use the formula which has been debated many times over many elections as to the ministers’ pay. That means the higher earners and you get the average and so on and give a discount, you see. We can peg it to the people in the lower income group and depends over the pay is. Supposing you peg it to 2,000 as an average, then you times ten or times 100, that depends on what it is. So the question is can you get the right people to come? As opposition has mentioned, it is quite a high salary, we are not able to get private sector people to come. You go and examine the pay of the Chairman, CEOs of the public-listed companies in Singapore - Keppel, DBSBank, OCBC and UOB and so on, Sembawang and all that - every CEO is earning about twice the ministers’ pay, even more. CapitaLand easily they earn about S$10 million. Why should they come and join us in politics? So, therefore, the formula has worked, it has been issue, the key is are we producing results? That is the key.” Q: “Is there a better way to communicate with the majority population who don’t seem to understand?” Mr Goh: “The majority of the population is not very concerned.

  • Vol.7 Studies in Business and Economics-1
    Studies in Business and Economics MARKETING POLITICIANS ON FACEBOOK: AN EXAMINATION OF THE SINGAPORE GENERAL ELECTION 2011 LENG Ho Keat National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University Abstract: In recent years, politicians have been using social network sites in garnering votes and supporters. However, marketing on social network sites is distinctively different from traditional marketing as consumers no longer play a passive role on this new marketing platform. This paper examines the use of social network site by two young female politicians in the recent General Election in Singapore and concludes that campaigning on social network sites raises two important issues. First of all, social network sites allows for the electorate to contribute to the discussion on the suitability of the candidate for political office. The online community can shape the image of the politician and affect electoral outcomes by selecting the type of message to propagate within the social network site. Secondly, popularity in social network sites does not translate into political victory as users of social network sites are generally younger than the electorate and popularity online is a reflection of this segment and not of the larger population. Keywords : political marketing, Singapore general election, social network sites, elections, campaigning 1. Introduction In recent years, social network sites have grown exponentially in popularity, especially among young adults. Many marketers have seen the growth of social network sites as an exciting new medium to reach consumers as social network sites allow for easy access to a well-defined market segment (Dumitrescu, Stanciu, Tichindelean, & Vinerean, 2011). Politicians are also keenly aware of the opportunities that social network sites provide in reaching to the electorate.
