  • 5,000 Overseas Singaporeans Pay Tribute to Our Founding Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew at Singapore Day 2015
    5,000 overseas Singaporeans pay tribute to our founding Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew at Singapore Day 2015 On 11 April, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean and Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Grace Fu joined about 5,000 Singaporeans in Century Park, Shanghai for Singapore Day 2015. The event was an emotional reunion for Singaporeans in China who paid tribute to the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his contributions to Singapore. It was also an occasion for our overseas Singaporean to mark our nation's achievements over the past 50 years and look forward to the future. "I am heartened to see how our overseas Singaporeans, here in China and around the world, have rallied together to pay tribute to the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, our founding Prime Minister. More than 5,400 overseas Singaporeans came together to hold heartfelt memorial events in 36 cities. Mr Lee's passing has brought us all closer together as a nation. Let us hold fast to this spirit of unity and resilience as we work together to build on Mr Lee's legacy", said Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean. DPM Teo also led all those present at the event to observe a minute of silence to the passing of Mr Lee. At the Remembering Lee Kuan Yew Marquee, attendees penned about 2,000 tribute messages, in memory of the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew. In a special concert, Singaporean artistes including Dick Lee, Tay Kewei, Li Weisong, Li Sisong and Rahimah Rahim gave tribute song performances.

  • Transcript of a Press Conference Given by the Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, at Broadcasting House, Singapore, A
    1 TRANSCRIPT OF A PRESS CONFERENCE GIVEN BY THE PRIME MINISTER OF SINGAPORE, MR. LEE KUAN YEW, AT BROADCASTING HOUSE, SINGAPORE, AT 1200 HOURS ON MONDAY 9TH AUGUST, 1965. Question: Mr. Prime Minister, after these momentous pronouncements, what most of us of the foreign press would be interested to learn would be your attitude towards Indonesia, particularly in the context of Indonesian confrontation, and how you view to conduct relations with Indonesia in the future as an independent, sovereign nation. Mr. Lee: I would like to phrase it most carefully because this is a delicate matter. But I think I can express my attitude in this way: We want to be friends with Indonesia. We have always wanted to be friends with Indonesia. We would like to settle any difficulties and differences with Indonesia. But we must survive. We have a right to survive. And, to survive, we must be sure that we cannot be just overrun. You know, invaded by armies or knocked out by rockets, if they have rockets -- which they have, ground-to-air. I'm not sure whether they lky\1965\lky0809b.doc 2 have ground-to-ground missiles. And, what I think is also important is we want, in spite of all that has happened -- which I think were largely ideological differences between us and the former Central Government, between us and the Alliance Government -- we want to-operate with them, on the most fair and equal basis. The emphasis is co-operate. We need them to survive. Our water supply comes from Johore. Our trade, 20-odd per cent -- over 20 per cent; I think about 24 per cent -- with Malaya, and about 4 to 5 per cent with Sabah and Sarawak.

  • The Next Stage of Singapore-India Relations: Possibilities and Prospects
    ISAS Working Paper No. 91 – Date: 24 September 2009 469A Bukit Timah Road #07-01, Tower Block, Singapore 259770 Tel: 6516 6179 / 6516 4239 Fax: 6776 7505 / 6314 5447 Email: [email protected] Website: www.isas.nus.edu.sg The Next Stage of Singapore-India Relations: Possibilities and Prospects Sinderpal Singh and Syeda Sana Rahman1 Executive Summary The history of relations between India and Singapore pre-dates their birth as independent nation-states. In the post-independence phase, relations between the two states have been subject to both low and high points, reflecting different degrees of engagement. In the last 15 years, however, Singapore-India relations have been on a relative upswing, characterised by closer association across a range of areas. This paper aims to provide an assessment of these more recent trends in relations between the two countries, looking at both traditional issue areas such as economic and defence-strategic ties as well as interrogating areas that are deemed relatively ‘non-traditional’ in nature, namely, education-knowledge transfer and building societal-level links between the two countries. This assessment will involve exploring both the future possibilities and potential pitfalls attendant to this bilateral relationship. Following an examination of India’s relationships with Southeast Asian countries in the first three to four decades after its independence, the paper scrutinises economic relations between Singapore and India, symbolised by the signing of the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) between the two countries in 2005. Beyond economics, Indo-Singapore relations are also built on concrete defence and strategic collaborations, and these are discussed in the paper, with specific focus on shared visions of regional order within the Asia-Pacific.

Gomes, C 2009, 'Keeping memories alive: Maintaining singapore nationalism abroad', Asia Journal of Global Studies, Formatted: Font: (Default) vol. 3, no. 1, pp. 37-50. Arial 2 Keeping Memories Alive: Maintaining Singaporean Nationalism Abroad Abstract. Singapore uses the active remembering of its heritage to instil in its citizens a sense of nationhood. While this is not an uncommon feature of any national agenda, Singapore – concerned with a declining local skilled workforce as a result of emigration – uses memory of heritage and place as a means to promote and maintain nationalism among its citizens abroad. The practice of remembering is aided by inventive and sometimes well-funded government initiatives such as the annually held Singapore Day — a one-day event held in cities outside Singapore which have a significant diasporic Singaporean population. Comment [U1]: Could you add a line or two more here? Introduction It’s a little thin on details. Like other sovereign nations, Singapore considers loyalty to the state as representing a fundamental tenet of citizenry. The Southeast Asian nation undertakes elaborate measures to ensure that nationalism and nationhood are intrinsic values woven into cultural and community discourse.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA RELEASE 14 April 2012 CELEBRATING “MY HOME, MY FUTURE” at SINGAPORE DAY 2012 About 4,900 Singap
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA RELEASE 14 April 2012 CELEBRATING “MY HOME, MY FUTURE” AT SINGAPORE DAY 2012 About 4,900 Singaporeans living, working and studying in the USA gathered at Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York to celebrate all things Singaporean at Singapore Day 2012. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister-in-charge of National Population and Talent Division Teo Chee Hean was present at the event, whose theme was “My Home, My Future”. In his remarks, DPM Teo highlighted the need for an inclusive society and a stronger Singapore. DPM Teo said that amidst the changes evident in Singapore’s transformation into a modern and attractive global city, Singapore remained our home, and a place for Singaporeans to build their future. He hoped Singapore Day would bring Singaporeans closer and enjoy a slice of home together; and that it would foster close-knit Singaporean communities around the world. Postgraduate student Crystal Neo, 26, who was at the event, enjoyed the sights and sounds of home. She said, "I really missed local food such as chicken rice and black pepper crab! Singapore Day reminds me of home, tucking into yummy hawker fare and hearing Singaporean accents all around.” New Jersey-based Singaporean Lynette Teo, 35, and her husband were also happy to savour the local food and performances by local artistes. She said that she had looked forward to seeing Singaporean faces, and that the biggest draw for her was the much-missed local hawker fare. Hawker Cheng Kong Sang of Toa Payoh Rojak said that he was honoured to be at Singapore Day once again after his first experience in 2009 in London.

Security forces rushed to the air- port when the Boeing 737-800 touched down on the pop- ular island, after the pilot reported the Brisbane to Bali flight had been hijacked, Indonesian authorities said. However, Virgin Australia said the drunken passenger had sparked a false alarm when he banged on the cockpit door. Indonesian police later arrested Matt Christopher Lockley, an Australian national. “This is no hijacking, this is a miscommunication,” said Heru Sudjatmiko, a Virgin Australia official in Bali. “What happened was there was a drunk person... too much alcohol consumption caused him to act aggressively.”“Based on the report I received, the passenger tried to enter the cockpit, through the cockpit door, by banging on the door.” He said the man was stopped by crew, handcuffed and placed in a seat at the back of the plane, which was carry- ing 137 passengers and seven crewmembers. After landing the passenger, who was unarmed, was taken off the air- craft and detained. Officials said he did not try to resist arrest.

  • The Globalising Imperative of the Singaporean State's Diaspora
    Migration as development repackaged? The globalising imperative of the Singaporean state’s diaspora strategies Elaine Lynn-Ee HO and Mark BOYLE Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, 36(2), 164-182 Published July 2015 Abstract: Migration is usually associated with development agendas in ‘developing’ countries where migrants’ remittances, investments and philanthropic contributions go towards poverty reduction. This paper argues that the diaspora strategies promoted by wealthier countries in order to pursue global business opportunities and technological progress in knowledge-based economies are premised on similar development logics, even if framed differently. The paper examines the case of Singapore to analyse the development logics underpinning initiatives to connect the city-state with overseas Singaporeans who are seen to embody globally marketable skills, knowledge and networks. Recognising the emergence of recent academic debates critically questioning diaspora strategies, the paper engages with four such critiques: (1) the intellectual bases of diaspora-centered development; 2) state infrastructure and stakeholder alignment; 3) cultural inclusion and exclusion; and 4) the evidence base upon which diaspora- centered development is predicated. The paper interrogates the logics, efficacy and sustainability of Singapore’s diaspora strategies as the country grapples with its aim to be a global city-state even as it holds together a postcolonial nation-building project. In so doing, the paper contributes wider lessons for the growing critical literature on diaspora strategies. Keywords: diaspora strategies, migration and development, emigration, Singapore INTRODUCTION With the demise of the brain drain thesis there has arisen interest in the way migrant communities continue to support from afar the development of their countries of origin.

The event was a reunion for Singaporeans living, working and studying in the United Kingdom and Europe to come together and “Celebrate Singapore, Our Home”. “I could feel the strong Singapore spirit among the participants today. More than 180 overseas Singaporeans volunteered to help organise and contribute to the event. Apart from Singapore Day, Singaporeans abroad do organise their own programmes to keep in touch with home and with one another. I am glad to see that many have a keen interest in what is happening in Singapore and want to contribute to make Singapore a better home for us all.” said Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean. Singapore Day 2014 provided an opportunity for Singaporeans abroad to network and update themselves on Singapore. Participants enjoyed the familiar tastes, sights and sounds of home including authentic hawker food and were updated on developments in Singapore, including the education landscape, the sports scene, infrastructural developments and career opportunities. Participants were entertained by the Dim Sum Dollies, Hossan Leong, The Noose’s Chua En-lai and Michelle Chong, music duo and radio entertainers Jack & Rai, as well as indie rockers, The Great Spy Experiment.
