Singapore Government Press Statement Mc. Ap. 14/63 (Pm 1 SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT PRESS STATEMENT MC. AP. 14/63 (PM) MINISTERIAL STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER, MR. LEE KUAN YEW, IN THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY MEETING ON FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1963. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have to report to the House on the progress that has been made in working out the form of words for the constitutional provisions for Singapore in the Federation of Malaysia in accordance with the provisions contained in White Paper Command 33 of 1961, and as amplified or amended in formal exchanges of letters between the Federation Prime Minister and myself. I am making this statement before answering the several questions that have been tabled in order that when I come to answer these questions Members can see the issues against the wider perspective. lky\1963\lky0405.doc 2 Although the White Paper and the formal exchanges of letters were all finalised in November 1961, the working party of officials did not start meeting until the 5th of December last year. This was because the Federation officials were occupied with the Sabah and Sarawak negotiations and they wanted to complete the main framework of the Borneo side before tackling the details of the Singapore side. Our team of officials (which consisted of the State Advocate- General, Inche Ahmad bin Ibrahim, the Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Mr. S.T. Stewart, the Permanent Secretary, Economic Development Division, Ministry of Finance, Mr. Howe Yoon Chong, the Acting Permanent Secretary, Ministry of National Development, Mr. Sim Kee Boon, and the Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Wong Chooi Sen) met the Federation team on 22 occasions from December 5, 1962, to February 14 this year. They reached agreement and submitted joint recommendations on most of the provisions to be incorporated in the new Constitution of the Federation of Malaysia and the State of Singapore. However, on a number of points, which included banking, insurance, shipping, navigation, broadcasting, television, constitutional guarantees and finance, the Federation and Singapore teams of officials were unable to reach agreement. These matters were therefore referred to the Ministers. Plenary meetings of Ministers and officials took place on three lky\1963\lky0405.doc 3 occasions February 28 and March 1 in Kuala Lumpur, March 21 and 22 in Kuala Lumpur and April 2 in Singapore. I am happy to report that except for finance, nearly all the points left unresolved by the official teams have now been agreed. There remain only a few points to be tidied up by the draftsmen. One of them is the question of Singapore retaining day to day control of programmes and administration of broadcasting and television, whilst following overall Federal policy. A special constitutional agreement may have to be drawn up to spell out the rights and obligations of the State Government of Singapore vis-a-vis the Federal Government. Another point is the spelling out of State autonomy with the consequential provision that Malaysian citizens who are also Singapore citizens cannot have double enjoyment of both State autonomy, in matters like education and labour, and at the same time have full enjoyment of the education and labour rights in the other States. Last, but by no means least, remain the financial arrangements. First, I would like to report to the House now, in brief and broad outline, the points that have been agreed. lky\1963\lky0405.doc 4 At our first plenary meeting of Ministers on the 28th of February and the 1st of March, the important question of acquisition and deprivation of citizenship was discussed. Acquisition and Deprivation of Citizenship All Singapore citizens will become citizens of Malaysia by operation of law. The Federal Government shall have the power over acquisition of Singapore citizenship by naturalisation after Malaysia. All such acquisition shall be with the agreement of the Singapore Government. There shall be a provision in the Second Schedule of the Federal Constitution to the effect that the Singapore Government must be informed of all acquisitions of citizenship by naturalisation approved by the Federal Government. The Singapore Government will however retain power over the acquisition of citizenship by registration. As these citizens will automatically become Malaysian citizens, it shall be the responsibility of the Singapore Government to inform the Federal Government of all acquisition by registration. Deprivations of citizenship are on national considerations and hence the Federal Government shall have power of deprivation on all grounds. lky\1963\lky0405.doc 5 The Singapore Government should have the right to deprive on grounds of fraud or mistake or under Article 25(1) ( c ) on a conviction. There will also be a provision in Section 10 of the Second Schedule of the Federal Constitution to the effect that both the Federal and Singapore Governments should keep each other informed of all grants and deprivations of Singapore citizenship on all grounds. Federal Constitution The Federal Constitution should contain the following provisions: (i) a citizen of Singapore shall, by virtue of such citizenship, be a citizen of Malaysia; (ii) a citizen of Singapore who renounces his citizenship of Singapore (except on acquiring citizenship of Malaysia by registration), shall cease to be a citizen of Malaysia and shall not, except with the approval of the Federal Government, be eligible for registration as a citizen of Malaysia or of Singapore; (iii) birth or residence in Singapore will count for the purpose of acquiring citizenship of Malaysia through citizenship of Singapore; lky\1963\lky0405.doc 6 (iv) the Federal Government would have exclusive authority to grant citizenship by naturalisation but, in the case of a person to be naturalised as a citizen of Singapore, only with the concurrence of the Singapore Government; (v) the Federal Government would have authority to deprive persons of Malaysian citizenship on all grounds; (vi) deprivation or renunciation of Malaysian citizenship of a citizenship of Singapore would involve loss of Singapore citizenship; and (vii) a person who has renounced or been deprived of his Malaysian citizenship would not be eligible to be registered as a citizen of Singapore except with the approval of the Federal Government. Singapore Constitution The Singapore Constitution would contain the following provisions which could not be amended or modified without the approval of the Federal Parliament: (i) citizenship of Singapore by birth; (ii) citizenship of Singapore by descent; (iii) citizenship of Singapore by registration of citizens of Malaysia who are not citizens of Singapore; lky\1963\lky0405.doc 7 (iv) citizenship of Singapore by registration of persons resident in Singapore on Merger Day with the agreement of the Federal Government; (v) citizenship of Singapore by registration on marriage; (vi) citizenship of Singapore by registration of minors; (vii) renunciation of citizenship of Singapore; and (viii) deprivation of citizenship of Singapore on the grounds of fraud, mistake or conviction. At a subsequent meeting it was also agreed that the Singapore Government shall for a period of two years after Malaysia Day have the power to deprive anyone of Singapore citizenship on any grounds provided such grounds arose before Malaysia Day. The basis of acquisition and ground for deprivation of citizenship should be common to the Federation and Singapore. Provision should be made to ensure that the Federal and Singapore Governments would keep each other informed of all grants and deprivations of citizenship on all grounds. It has been agreed that there should be no relaxation in the Federal or Singapore immigration laws before Merger Day. lky\1963\lky0405.doc 8 I have dwelt in some detail on the question of citizenship and I am sure members of the House and people outside would be happy to know that all their rights as citizens of Singapore, and later as citizens of Malaysia, would be protected in the Constitution. Conference of Rulers Article 38 on the Conference of Rulers will be amended to refer to the Yang di-Pertuan Negara and the Prime Minister of Singapore in the same manner as the Governors and Chief Ministers of Malacca and Penang respectively. Power of Pardon The Yang di-Pertuan Negara and the Prime Minister of Singapore will have the same powers of pardon etc. under Article 42 as the Governors and Chief Ministers of Malacca and Penang. Federal Legislature There will be consequential amendments to Article 47 to provide that citizens of Singapore may stand for elections only in Singapore to the Federal Parliament. lky\1963\lky0405.doc 9 Extent of Federal and State laws, and subject matter of Federal and State laws - Articles 74 and 77 The provisions of the 9th Schedule will have to be amended in its application to Singapore in accordance with the Annexure, (as amended) to the Heads of Agreement for a merger of Singapore and the Federation of Malaya, as contained in the White Paper. Modification of Articles 83 to 87 - Article 88 There should be provision in Article 88 for modifications in the application of Articles 83 to 87 to Singapore in the same manner as Malacca and Penang. The National Land Council - Article 91 Article 91 should be amended in its application to Singapore so as to provide that any policy formulated should not apply to Singapore without the concurrence of the Singapore Government. National Development Plan - Article 92 Article 92 should be amended in its application to Singapore so as to provide that the occurrence of the State Government will be required in lky\1963\lky0405.doc 10 respect of any Development Plan which the Federal Government proposes should be put into operation in Singapore. The National Council for Local Government - Article 95A The last phrase of Article 95A(5) which reads “and the State Government shall follow the policy so formulated” shall not apply to Singapore until such time as the Federal Government with the concurrence of the Singapore Legislative Assembly otherwise provides.

  • The Enduring Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew
    THE STRAITS TIMES By Invitation The enduring ideas of Lee Kuan Yew Kishore Mahbubani (mailto:[email protected]) PUBLISHED MAR 12, 2016, 5:00 AM SGT Integrity, institutions and independence - these are three ideas the writer hopes will endure for Singapore. March 23 will mark the first anniversary of the passing of Mr Lee Kuan Yew. On that day, the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy will be organising a forum, The Enduring Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew. The provost of NUS, Professor Tan Eng Chye, will open the forum. The four distinguished panellists will be Ambassador-at-Large Chan Heng Chee, Foreign Secretary of India S. Jaishankar, Dr Shashi Jayakumar and Mr Zainul Abidin Rasheed. This forum will undoubtedly produce a long list of enduring ideas, although only time will tell which ideas will really endure. History is unpredictable. It does not move in a straight line. Towards the end of their terms, leaders such as Mr Jawaharlal Nehru, Mr Ronald Reagan and Mrs Margaret Thatcher were heavily criticised. Yet, all three are acknowledged today to be among the great leaders of the 20th century. It is always difficult to anticipate the judgment of history. ST ILLUSTRATION : MIEL If I were to hazard a guess, I would suggest that three big ideas of Mr Lee that will stand the test of time are integrity, institutions and the independence of Singapore. I believe that these three ideas have been hardwired into the Singapore body politic and will last. INTEGRITY The culture of honesty and integrity that Mr Lee and his fellow founding fathers created is truly a major gift to Singapore.

  • Caring for Our People: 50 Years of Healthcare in Singapore
    Caring for our People Prime Minister’s Message Good health is important for individuals, for families, and for our society. It is the foundation for our people’s vitality and optimism, and a reflection of our nation’s prosperity and success. A healthy community is also a happy one. Singapore has developed our own system for providing quality healthcare to all. Learning from other countries and taking advantage of a young population, we invested in preventive health, new healthcare facilities and developing our healthcare workforce. We designed a unique financing system, where individuals receive state subsidies for public healthcare but at the same time can draw upon the 3Ms – Medisave, MediShield and Medifund – to pay for their healthcare needs. As responsible members of society, each of us has to save for our own healthcare needs, pay our share of the cost, and make good and sensible decisions about using healthcare services. Our healthcare outcomes are among the best in the world. Average life expectancy is now 83 years, compared with 65 years in 1965. The infant mortality rate is 2 per 1,000 live births, down from 26 per 1,000 live births 50 years ago. This book is dedicated to all those in the Government policies have adapted to the times. We started by focusing on sanitation and public health and went on healthcare sector who laid the foundations to develop primary, secondary and tertiary health services. In recent years, we have enhanced government subsidies of a healthy nation in the years gone by, substantially to ensure that healthcare remains affordable.

Tel 2799794/5 Embargoed Until After Delivery Please Check Against Delivery SPEECH BY PRIME MINISTER IN PARLIAMENT ON TUESDAY. 18 JAN 94 Review of 1993 I look back on 1993 with some satisfaction. Our economy grew strongly. It was the best performance since 1988. 2 We also put in place policies which will sustain our robust growth - going regional, tax reform through the GST, autonomous schools, health care reform, and raising retirement age to 60. 3 We introduced practical schemes to increase Singaporeans' assets - upgrading HDB flats, selling HDB shops to create a new class of commercial property owners, the CPF Share Top-up Scheme, selling Singapore Telecom Group 'A' shares to make Singapore a nation of share-owners. 4 The upgrading of HDB flats and sale of HDB shops are one-off programmes: the recipients benefit only once, although the programmes will be stretched out over a number of years. In contrast, the CPF Share Top-up Scheme and the sale of shares of privatised statutory boards will benefit Singaporeans each time the economy does exceptionally well, and each time we privatise another statutory board. 5 We will periodically top-up Singaporeans' CPF accounts, provided we enjoy good growth and exceptional budget surplus. This will achieve two objectives: one, increase the assets of Singaporeans, and two, bring home the message that our individual prosperity is linked to the collective prosperity of the nation. If all of us work together to increase the wealth of the country, a portion of it will be redistributed to the people in the form of CPF Top-up or shares sold at a discount.

  • One Party Dominance Survival: the Case of Singapore and Taiwan
    One Party Dominance Survival: The Case of Singapore and Taiwan DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lan Hu Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Professor R. William Liddle Professor Jeremy Wallace Professor Marcus Kurtz Copyrighted by Lan Hu 2011 Abstract Can a one-party-dominant authoritarian regime survive in a modernized society? Why is it that some survive while others fail? Singapore and Taiwan provide comparable cases to partially explain this puzzle. Both countries share many similar cultural and developmental backgrounds. One-party dominance in Taiwan failed in the 1980s when Taiwan became modern. But in Singapore, the one-party regime survived the opposition’s challenges in the 1960s and has remained stable since then. There are few comparative studies of these two countries. Through empirical studies of the two cases, I conclude that regime structure, i.e., clientelistic versus professional structure, affects the chances of authoritarian survival after the society becomes modern. This conclusion is derived from a two-country comparative study. Further research is necessary to test if the same conclusion can be applied to other cases. This research contributes to the understanding of one-party-dominant regimes in modernizing societies. ii Dedication Dedicated to the Lord, Jesus Christ. “Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power. By Me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just; by Me princes govern, and nobles—all who rule on earth.” Proverbs 8:14-16 iii Acknowledgments I thank my committee members Professor R.

    Planning for Tourism: Creating a Vibrant Singapore A common misconception is that tourism policy primarily focuses on promotion and marketing campaigns. While these activities are essential, another important but STUDIES URBAN SYSTEMS sometimes overlooked aspect is how creative city planning can support tourism promotion, and consequently, how the needs and goals of tourism policy can influence development and planning decisions. In Singapore, tourism has shaped the built environment, influenced conservation and heritage policies, and enhanced quality of life for Singapore’s residents. The industry has also helped to anchor Singapore’s global reputation and attractiveness as a place to conduct business, study and live. a Vibrant Singapore Planning for Tourism: Creating This book will examine how Singapore’s tourism strategies Planning and city planning support each other.
