  • Singapore's Chinese-Speaking and Their Perspectives on Merger
    Chinese Southern Diaspora Studies, Volume 5, 2011-12 南方華裔研究雜志, 第五卷, 2011-12 “Flesh and Bone Reunite as One Body”: Singapore’s Chinese- speaking and their Perspectives on Merger ©2012 Thum Ping Tjin* Abstract Singapore’s Chinese speakers played the determining role in Singapore’s merger with the Federation. Yet the historiography is silent on their perspectives, values, and assumptions. Using contemporary Chinese- language sources, this article argues that in approaching merger, the Chinese were chiefly concerned with livelihoods, education, and citizenship rights; saw themselves as deserving of an equal place in Malaya; conceived of a new, distinctive, multiethnic Malayan identity; and rejected communist ideology. Meanwhile, the leaders of UMNO were intent on preserving their electoral dominance and the special position of Malays in the Federation. Finally, the leaders of the PAP were desperate to retain power and needed the Federation to remove their political opponents. The interaction of these three factors explains the shape, structure, and timing of merger. This article also sheds light on the ambiguity inherent in the transfer of power and the difficulties of national identity formation in a multiethnic state. Keywords: Chinese-language politics in Singapore; History of Malaya; the merger of Singapore and the Federation of Malaya; Decolonisation Introduction Singapore’s merger with the Federation of Malaya is one of the most pivotal events in the country’s history. This process was determined by the ballot box – two general elections, two by-elections, and a referendum on merger in four years. The centrality of the vote to this process meant that Singapore’s Chinese-speaking1 residents, as the vast majority of the colony’s residents, played the determining role.

State of the Arts: Government, National Identity, and the Arts in Singapore Abstract In the 1960s, countries in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia and Malaysia were wreaked by ethnic violence. Race riots broke out in Malaysia in 1969 between Chinese and Malays. In 1973 and 1974 anti- Chinese riots and pogroms erupted in Indonesia. Amidst a sea of ethnic unrest, the Singaporean government became aware that the multiethnic nature of Singapore rendered it vulnerable to riots.Memories of the 1964 race riots and the 1950 Maria Hertogh riots were still fresh. The government hoped that the creation of a cohesive national identity would reduce the risk of ethnic and racial violence. In this project I examine the development of national identity in Singapore from 1965-1990 to see how the government and civil society interacted to create a national identity.

  • The Loss of The'world-Soul'? Education, Culture and the Making
    The Loss of the ‘World-Soul’? Education, Culture and the Making of the Singapore Developmental State, 1955 – 2004 by Yeow Tong Chia A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Yeow Tong Chia 2011 The Loss of the ‘World-Soul’? Education, Culture and the Making of the Singapore Developmental State, 1955 – 2004 Yeow Tong Chia Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2011 Abstract This dissertation examines the role of education in the formation of the Singapore developmental state, through a historical study of education for citizenship in Singapore (1955-2004), in which I explore the interconnections between changes in history, civics and social studies curricula, and the politics of nation-building. Building on existing scholarship on education and state formation, the dissertation goes beyond the conventional notion of seeing education as providing the skilled workforce for the economy, to mapping out cultural and ideological dimensions of the role of education in the developmental state. The story of state formation through citizenship education in Singapore is essentially the history of how Singapore’s developmental state managed crises (imagined, real or engineered), and how changes in history, civics and social studies curricula, served to legitimize the state, through educating and moulding the desired “good citizen” in the interest of nation building. Underpinning these changes has been the state’s use of cultural constructs such as ii Confucianism and Asian values to shore up its legitimacy.

Disgruntled with the British ruling power, anti-colonial forces were calling for independence. The main contenders were the People’s Action Party led by nationalist Lee Kuan Yew and the Communist Party of Malaya headed by Chin Peng. Displaying their political acumen, Lee and his team overcame all adversities to win the people’s mandate. Lee, who became Singapore’s first Prime Minister in 1959, orchestrated the movement to build a prosperous FREEDOM TRAI Singapore. When he stepped down in 1990, he left behind B L an efficient government, world-class infrastructure and a AZING THE thriving economy.

  • Understanding the Political Leadership Style of Lee Kuan Yew
    Global Politics Review, Vol. 1 No. 1, October 2015: 35-52 A Big Frog in a Small Pond or a Giant of Asia? Understanding the Political Leadership Style of Lee Kuan Yew H.M.S. Amanda Herath Abstract: The passing of a national political leader, widely regarded as a world figure, marked the beginning of the year 2015. The long standing Senior Minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew left an undeniably significant mark upon the political leadership sphere. In order to assess his intriguing leadership style I will be using three theoretical models namely; Kouzes and Posner Model (1995), Blondel Model (1987) and Simonton Model (1988). The paper will mainly focus on Lee Kuan Yew’s attempts at building a new Singaporean Identity from a multiethnic pluralistic society. By this exercise I try to answer the question of whether another leader can adopt Lee Kuan Yew’s leadership style as a guiding principle. Key Words: Lee Kuan Yew; Singapore; Political Leadership; Identity; Leadership Styles. Introduction eadership is as old as mankind. It is universally present in every aspect of human society. From the smallest unit of family to the nation-state, leadership is Lomnipresent and inescapable. Among these leaders that we see in our day-to-day life, political leaders command much more attention than other leaders: [a]mong the various aspects of leadership, political leadership, in particular in the nation- state, occupies a special position. It is not that it is intrinsically different in kind or character from leadership in other organizations, but it is vastly more visible and, ostensibly at least, vastly more important.

    1 LETTER OF APPRECIATION FROM PRIME MINISTER LEE KUAN YEW TO MR ONG PANG BOON ON 29 DEC 84 “Dear Pang Boon, In December 1980, after the last elections, when I appointed you as Minister for the Environment, you told me that it was to be your last term. In the Ministry of Education, 1963-1970, you carried out a politically difficult task, that of increasing the teaching of English in the Chinese-stream schools, and of Chinese in the English-stream schools. These policies evolved into bilingualism: English and the mother tongue. I also thank you for helping in the selection of candidates for self-renewal. You had certain reservations. You pointed out that only time and crises can reveal latent defects in a person. I agree with you. You also had misgivings, as had Chin Chye, over the speed of self-renewal and the effect it was having on the morale of old guard MPs. I must take the responsibility for both the method and the pace of self-renewal, though it is reassuring to me that Goh Keng Swee and Rajaratnam supported me. A younger team of Ministers and MPs have now lky/1984/lky1229A.doc 2 become the majority both in Cabinet and in Parliament. There is no turning back. I am confident that the younger leaders will be equal to the task but, if not, the responsibility will be mine, shared with Keng Swee and Rajaratnam. It is some consolation to me that these differences did not stem from personal considerations. You and I have spent the best part of our lives working together in the PAP.

  • Speech by the Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, at the Pap
    1 SPEECH BY THE PRIME MINISTER, MR LEE KUAN YEW, AT THE PAP 25TH ANNIVERSARY RALLY HELD AT THE NATIONAL THEATRE ON 20 JAN 1980 HISTORY IS NOT MADE THE WAY IT IS WRITTEN To understand the present and anticipate the future, one must know enough of the past, enough to have a sense of the history of a people. One must appreciate not merely what took place but more especially why it took place and in that particular way. This is true of individuals, as it is for nations. The personal experience of a person determines whether he likes or hates certain things, welcomes them or fears them when they recur. So it is with nations: it is the collective memory of a people, the composite learning from past events which led to successes or disasters that makes a people welcome or fear new events because they recognize parts in new events which have similarities with past experience. Young people learn best from personal experience. The lessons their elders have learned at great pain and expense can add to the knowledge of the young and help them to cope with problems and dangers they had not faced before; but such learning, at second hand, is never as vivid, as deep or as durable as that which was personally experienced. lky\1980\lky0120.doc 2 Of those on this platform today, four were on the platform of the Victoria Memorial Hall on 21 Nov 1954: Toh Chin Chye, Rajaratnam, Devan Nair and I. I wrote that Goh Keng Swee and K.
