  • The Rule of Law and Urban Development
    The Rule of Law and Urban Development The transformation of Singapore from a struggling, poor country into one of the most affluent nations in the world—within a single generation—has often been touted as an “economic miracle”. The vision and pragmatism shown by its leaders has been key, as has its STUDIES URBAN SYSTEMS notable political stability. What has been less celebrated, however, while being no less critical to Singapore’s urban development, is the country’s application of the rule of law. The rule of law has been fundamental to Singapore’s success. The Rule of Law and Urban Development gives an overview of the role played by the rule of law in Singapore’s urban development over the past 54 years since independence. It covers the key principles that characterise Singapore’s application of the rule of law, and reveals deep insights from several of the country’s eminent urban pioneers, leaders and experts. It also looks at what ongoing and future The Rule of Law and Urban Development The Rule of Law developments may mean for the rule of law in Singapore. The Rule of Law “ Singapore is a nation which is based wholly on the Rule of Law. It is clear and practical laws and the effective observance and enforcement and Urban Development of these laws which provide the foundation for our economic and social development. It is the certainty which an environment based on the Rule of Law generates which gives our people, as well as many MNCs and other foreign investors, the confidence to invest in our physical, industrial as well as social infrastructure.

    Date Published: 11 Mar 2014 Dr Vivian Balaskrishnan, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, had announced in his Committee of Supply (COS) speech today that the Government of Singapore has decided to appoint an International Advisory Panel on Transboundary Pollution (IAP). 2. The Terms of Reference of the IAP are to study and advise the Government of Singapore on the trends and developments in international law relating to transboundary pollution and on the issues arising under international law from the impact of transboundary pollution as well as on the related solutions and practical steps which Singapore can adopt in light of the foregoing. Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Mr Teo Chee Hean, who is also Chairman of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Climate Change and Co-ordinating Minister for National Security, has appointed Professor S. Jayakumar and Professor Tommy Koh to co-chair the IAP, which will comprise legal experts from Singapore and abroad (their bios are attached at Annex A and Annex B respectively). 3. In making the appointment, DPM Teo said that: "The severe haze that enveloped Singapore in 2013 was a grim reminder that countries, especially small ones, are vulnerable to pollution that originates from outside their borders. In order to protect the health of our people, we need to explore all available avenues to tackle such transboundary environmental challenges. The Government has thus decided to set up an International Advisory Panel to study and advise the Government on trends and developments in international law relating to transboundary pollution and the options available to Singapore under international law.

  • The National Heritage Board Announces New Board Members
    MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FRESH FACES AND DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS: THE NATIONAL HERITAGE BOARD ANNOUNCES NEW BOARD MEMBERS *This supersedes the press release made on 29 October 2009. SINGAPORE, 6 November 2009 – The National Heritage Board is pleased to announce its new main board members with confidence that these fresh faces and new ideas will help Singaporeans of all ages cherish our heritage and museums even more. Tasked to help formulate strategic directions for the organisation, the 24-member NHB board aims to promote public awareness of the arts, culture and heritage and to provide a permanent repository of record of our nation’s history. Members who serve terms of two years, are encouraged to conceive ideas to educate Singaporeans on our heritage. Some notable members joining the main board include funny woman and self-made businesswoman who heads Fly Entertainment, Ms Irene Ang. Best known as the lovable Rosie of the local sitcom Phua Chu Kang, Ms Ang was initially surprised when approached by NHB as a candidate but was persuaded that her unique ability to communicate with heartlanders would be invaluable in helping them nurture a love for heritage. Said Ms Ang, “I hope to use my celebrity status and my Fly Entertainment contacts to support Singapore’s effort to keep our heritage alive. Personally, I enjoy collecting old stuff when I travel and I am very sentimental – I want to show people that the arts and heritage is not as “atas” (high-brow) as many think.” Her love for museums stems from her passion for the history lessons of her school days.

As the relative power of the West declines, these countries should invest more in the UN to ensure global stability. Institutions of global governance are weak by design not default. Another constant of Western strategy has been to bypass established As Singapore’s permanent representative in New York, I encountered universal institutions for ad hoc groups like the G7 and G8 or senior members of the American establishment who lamented the multilateral organizations dominated by them like the Organization UN’s poor condition.

  • Introduction 1. Literally, They Are Called Asia's Four Little Dragons. Some
    Notes Introduction 1. Literally, they are called Asia's Four Little Dragons. Some prefer to call them Asia's Gang of Four. 2. This is particularly a view stressed by the theory of dependency, according to which colonialism has benefited the industrial countries in terms of the colony's supply of raw materials or cheap labour for the development of industries in the advanced countries. For a brief introduction of the concept, see Nicholas Abercombie, 1984, p. 65. 1 Social Background 1. In Singapore, considering that US$111 per month was the poverty line of the year 1976, the allowance of US$47.4 per household under the public assistance scheme was far below subsistence level (Heyzer, 1983, p. 119). In Hong Kong, most of those who receive public assistance have only about US$2 a day for their living expenses (HKAR, 1988, p. 150). Moreover, neither unemployment insurance nor the International Labour Organisation Convention (No. 102) on Social Security has been introduced. 2. The term 'caste', as suggested by Harumi Befu (1971, p. 121), refers to its 'class' frozen characteristics. Due to the limitation of stipends and the disposition of the Edo samurai to lead extravagant lives, the samurai faced considerable financial difficulties. These financial difficulties forced them to join in merchant activities and even to rely on the financial help of merchants. Thus more and more daimyo and samurai were in debt to merchants (see 1971, p. 122; Lehmann, 1982, pp. 70-1, 85). 3. The definitions of "art" is far wider in Japan than in the West.
