  • Why Are Gender Reforms Adopted in Singapore? Party Pragmatism and Electoral Incentives* Netina Tan
    Why Are Gender Reforms Adopted in Singapore? Party Pragmatism and Electoral Incentives* Netina Tan Abstract In Singapore, the percentage of elected female politicians rose from 3.8 percent in 1984 to 22.5 percent after the 2015 general election. After years of exclusion, why were gender reforms adopted and how did they lead to more women in political office? Unlike South Korea and Taiwan, this paper shows that in Singapore party pragmatism rather than international diffusion of gender equality norms, feminist lobbying, or rival party pressures drove gender reforms. It is argued that the ruling People’s Action Party’s (PAP) strategic and electoral calculations to maintain hegemonic rule drove its policy u-turn to nominate an average of about 17.6 percent female candidates in the last three elections. Similar to the PAP’s bid to capture women voters in the 1959 elections, it had to alter its patriarchal, conservative image to appeal to the younger, progressive electorate in the 2000s. Additionally, Singapore’s electoral system that includes multi-member constituencies based on plurality party bloc vote rule also makes it easier to include women and diversify the party slate. But despite the strategic and electoral incentives, a gender gap remains. Drawing from a range of public opinion data, this paper explains why traditional gender stereotypes, biased social norms, and unequal family responsibilities may hold women back from full political participation. Keywords: gender reforms, party pragmatism, plurality party bloc vote, multi-member constituencies, ethnic quotas, PAP, Singapore DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5509/2016892369 ____________________ Netina Tan is an assistant professor of political science at McMaster University.

  • Closing Speech by Ms Sim Ann, Senior Minister of State For
    CLOSING SPEECH BY MS SIM ANN, SENIOR MINISTER OF STATE FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION, AT THE SECOND READING OF THE POSTAL SERVICES (AMENDMENT) BILL ON 5 APRIL 2021 Introduction Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank members for their support for this Bill, and for their questions on important issues that this Bill seeks to address. Members’ responses and questions fall into two broad themes, namely: i) What we are doing to ensure citizens and consumers can fully benefit from the deployment of the nationwide parcel locker network or the Network; and ii) What we are doing to enable businesses to reap productivity gains from the Network, while safeguarding it against cybersecurity threats. (A) Citizens/Consumers 2. Let me begin with the first theme, on providing a convenient, secure and inclusive Network that can be used by residents of all ages. Benefits to residents associated with the changes to the PSA 3. In my opening speech, I spoke about how the Network is an efficient solution that provides greater convenience and more options for parcel deliveries beyond doorstep delivery. 4. We note Mr Patrick Tay’s and Mr Gerald Giam’s queries about whether there are plans to deploy Pick’s lockers at private estates and condominiums. Parcel lockers can help achieve efficiencies in residential estates with sufficient density, and which are currently under-served. This is why Pick’s rollout plan is focused on HDB estates. Some private condominiums are already being served by a commercial parcel locker operator, who has agreed to join the Network. Pick will encourage its partners to expand their deployment wherever feasible, so that more locations, including private condominiums, can be served.

  • First Singapore Together Emerging Stronger Conversations for the Malay/Muslim Community Conducted Under Ciptasama@M³
    Issued on 7 Jan 2021 [UPDATED] MEDIA FACT SHEET FIRST SINGAPORE TOGETHER EMERGING STRONGER CONVERSATIONS FOR THE MALAY/MUSLIM COMMUNITY CONDUCTED UNDER CIPTASAMA@M³ The Singapore Together Emerging Stronger Conversations (ESCs) conducts its first session for the Malay/Muslim (MM) community through CiptaSama@M³. The SGT ESC x CiptaSama@M³ serves as a platform for the community to reflect on their COVID-19 experiences and issues they faced. Two sessions will be conducted in January to seek out ideas and suggestions to co-create solutions for a more cohesive, resilient and caring Singapore society. 2 Since the Singapore Together Emerging Stronger Conversations (ESC) commenced in June 2020, over 2,850 Singaporeans and community partners have participated in more than 45 ESCs organised by the Government. These conversations have yielded fruitful insights on the challenges and opportunities facing Singapore in a post-COVID-19 world, and on how we can emerge stronger from this crisis. As we work towards recovering from this pandemic, this spirit of participation and co-solutioning will help Singaporeans to chart a new path and emerge stronger. (i) Singapore Together Emerging Stronger Conversations (ESCs) 3 We have undergone a shared experience which will shape the attitudes and worldview of an entire generation. Through the ESCs, we want to draw this out and use these reflections as core elements on which to build an even stronger society. 4 At least 20 ESCs will be held between June 2020 and February 2021. In the spirit of Singapore Together, these ESCs are inclusive and accessible to all, including Singaporeans who may be more comfortable in Mother Tongue.

Meetings of the Sikh Advisory Board (SAB or Board) The Board, which has been appointed to serve a three-year term from November 2017 to October 2020, met for its second year of quarterly meetings as scheduled in 2019 on 13 February, 22 May, 14 August and 6 November. 2. Major Items discussed or addressed by the Board 2.1. Proposed Amendments to the SAB Rules Proposed amendments regarding a more equitable representation of the structure of the community and sustainability and diversity of the Board were submitted to the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) for consideration and final approval. The proposed amendments to increase the representation for the Central Sikh Gurdwara Board (CSGB) and the Gurdwara Sahib Yishun – from one to two members each - to ensure parity with other Gurdwaras, will remain. The MCCY asked the SAB to reword sections of the amendments with specific reference to diversity and gender. The MCCY advised the SAB to consider such amendments to be a part of any best practices guidelines rather than to be incorporated into the rules and regulations of the SAB as that will give the SAB more flexibility to review its diversity needs as and when needed. The revised document is now pending the Minister’s approval. If approved, the SAB will have 17 members on the Board when the new term begins in November 2020 instead of the current 15.
