Our mission is to foster cross- cultural interaction, understanding and appreciation between the peoples of the Asia-Pacific region through music education and performance. Our Artistic Vision: We aim to make the music that bridges us one to another and bridges our past with our future. We believe that music captures the sound of the lands from which we originate, of diverse forms of human life and the dreams of our civilisations. In a world that has become increasingly porous, these sounds that distinguish us also give us a point of entry into each other’s worlds. This is the music that Bridges sets out to create – the music of a future in which the sounds of our origins are honoured while being taken up in new ways, fused with alien rhythms, transformed by contact with a foreign tongue. -

PRESS RELEASE Guangzhou Knowledge City Launches
PRESS RELEASE Guangzhou Knowledge City Launches “Software” Collaboration Initiative with Singapore 30 June 2011 – Singbridge International Singapore Pte Ltd (Singbridge), and its joint venture partner Guangzhou Development District (GDD), have launched a “software” collaboration initiative with Singapore in the development of the Sino- Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City (Guangzhou Knowledge City). The joint venture is the master developer of the 123 sq km Guangzhou Knowledge City. Singbridge manages this software collaboration with the various participating Singapore organizations and government agencies. “Software” refers to the policies, processes and methods to plan, develop and manage a city including urban design, environment, infrastructure, economic and social development. At today’s ceremony, 4 software training and 5 software co-operation projects were launched. More training and co-operation projects will be introduced to meet the development needs of the Guangzhou Knowledge City. The Guangzhou Knowledge City can tap on Singapore’s successful development experience through this software collaboration initiative. Mr Lui Tuck Yew, Singapore’s Minister for Transport and Second Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Co-Chairman of the Singapore-Guangdong Collaboration Council, officiated the launch ceremony together with other dignitaries from Singapore and Guangdong. Said Minister Lui, “I believe software will be a key driver to achieve the Guangzhou Knowledge City’s vision of becoming a vibrant, unique and world class city that is highly attractive to knowledge-intensive enterprises, talent and skilled personnel. The right software will differentiate the Knowledge City from others around the world. It is therefore important to integrate the best of Chinese, Singapore and world software and adapt them to meet the evolving needs of the Knowledge City.” Mr Ko Kheng Hwa, CEO of Singbridge, added “Software is hard to implement. -

Using data gathered from in-depth interviews conducted with Singaporean undergraduates study- ing at Oxbridge and a dataset of the institutional origins of 580 Singap- orean government scholars, the analysis illustrates how students are being matched from two Singaporean junior colleges to Oxbridge and back to the higher strata of the Singaporean Public Service. -

Over the last few years, the PSC has continued to enhance its scholarship offerings. Casting its net wider in its efforts to recruit talent into the Civil Service, PSC has begun to offer scholarships beyond students who have just completed their A-level examinations. In 2006, the PSC introduced the Mid-Term Scholarship, targeted at undergraduates in their second or third year of studies. PSC also started the Civil Service Internship Programme in 2006 to give Singaporean students studying in top universities abroad an opportunity to experience work in the Civil Service. 2007 saw the launch of the Overseas Merit Scholarship (Specialist) and the re-introduction of the Singapore Government Scholarship (Open). These scholarships aim to strengthen the talent pipeline for the Civil Service. The Overseas Merit Scholarship (Specialist) allows top calibre students to pursue specialised disciplines and work in professional schemes of service upon graduation, while the Singapore Government Scholarship (Open) provides candidates flexibility in deployment to the ministries after graduation. -

This paper discusses the language policy for Chinese Language or 9 Mandarin in Singapore, with a particular focus on recent policy changes and the 10 accompanying policy statements. The paper identifies and explores three key features 11 in the recent language policy changes: a flexible and customized approach in the 12 teaching and learning of Chinese, a plan to nurture a core groupPROO of bicultural elite, 13 and the emphasis on oral communication and reading for the majority of students. 14 The paper argues that underlying the changes is the affirmation and continuation of 15 the government’s pragmatic approach in language policy and commitment to 16 bilingualism in Singapore.
