Abstract:

This book contains five chapter with a specific explain and contribution in every chapter. The first chapter is about Singapore’s foreign policy and explains about exceptional state. The second chapter is talking about the battle of sovereignty. The third is about transcending regional locale. The fourth explaining about Singapore and the power, and the last is about driving and suffering the region. The Island Republic of Singapore is the smallest state within South-East Asia and, indeed, within a wider East Asia. It also lacks natural resources, except for the human variety in limited numbers, and a harbor in an ideal location for servicing regional trade. In 1999, for the third year running, the Swiss based world economic forum ranked Singapore first among over fifty leading economies in its annual global competitiveness report. In its material accomplishments and attendant external recognition, Singapore is exceptional not only within its regional locale, but also globally among so called small states. The point has been well made that economic success is the main reason for Singapore’s high status and disproportionate influence in international affairs.Keywords: Singapore's foreign policy, sovereignty, small states

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper uses Singapore as a case study in how the international anti-trafficking movement has influenced the regulation of sex work. In doing this, it explores the various historical, geographical, and socio-legal factors which have shaped Singapore’s system of regulation. It then presents the contemporary composition of the regulation of sex work in Singapore: a system of informal rules and protections hidden in the shadow of formal legal institutions. Finally, it analyses the impact of the international anti-trafficking movement, with specific emphasis on the American Trafficking in Persons Report, on Singapore’s regulation of sex work. It suggests that the recent increase of police raids on red light districts is aimed primarily at image control, and that these raids are undermining a functioning regulatory system. It concludes by suggesting that to improve upon its existing regulatory system, Singapore should focus on eliminating sex worker stigma and improving the rights of migrant workers.

Abstract:

Purpose – The paper aims to explore the possibility of advancing a Singaporean way of learning within the continuing education and training landscape in Singapore. Design/methodology/approach – Using the vehicle of a narrative interview and extending the boundaries of autoethnography, the paper uses personal reflection and interpretation to explore the issues of Singaporean identity amidst the diversity in the globalised Singapore of today. Findings – The paper uncovers the growing latent discomfort of Singaporeans as they navigate historical legacies of Colonialism and question what it means to be schooled in Western systems whilst being Asian. With the supplanting of Asian languages and the seeming superiority and dominance of Western talent, systems and knowledge, Singaporeans are looking to express a greater sense of what being Singaporean could mean. Social implications – Upon manoeuvring and exposing the invisible, the paper concludes that there is an impetus to forge a “Singaporean way”, although how this would manifest itself is, as yet, unknown. Originality/value – Although Singapore has a very visible presence globally for its economic achievements, the paper allows for an often under-represented voice of a native Singaporean to be heard. The liberties taken here with the narrative inquiry mode also allow space for a deeper exploration of identity, pride and conflict in a Singaporean today.

Abstract:

With its 5.8 million inhabitants, retaining its unique version of democracy, and remaining a traditional yet progressive city, Singapore stands as a model economy for other Asian and middle eastern economies. From 1819 to 1963, Malaysia and Singapore – as one country – were a British colony. In 1963, when British rule ended and Malaysia gained her independence, Singapore remained a part of Malaysia. However, the racial tension between Malay, the ethnic Chinese, and other non-Malay groups escalated and turned violent. In 1965, Singapore cut her ties with Malaysia and became a sovereign, independent state. While retaining its collectivistic culture, Singapore has gained a competitive edge as a high-end shopping centre in the region. During the past 60 years, the Singaporean economy and businesses have shifted their focus from the manufacturing of electronic components, computer hard drives, small appliances, and garments to financial services, banking, insurance services, and asset management. Relying on data collected through interviews, observations, and a brief questionnaire, this case study of Singaporean businesses presents a description of the management styles and communication strategies of 78 business managers in Singapore, representing the service, retail, and manufacturing sectors. The data reveal that Human Resources Approach to management is the most common style of management. Analysis of communication content, style, and flow demonstrates that cultural customs such as respect for the elderly, caring for and mentoring the younger generation, loyalty to one’s family, and conformity to family traditions are the driving forces of the businesses in Singapore. The analysis suggests that it is the dominant culture of a society that shapes the business practices and business values in any given society.

Abstract:

Background: Health assumes a noteworthy job in people's life and in reestablishing this, human services arrangement of a country contributes its significant part. As indicated by World Wellbeing Association wellbeing framework is characterized as "every one of the exercises whose basic role is to advance, reestablish or potentially look after wellbeing". This paper essentially depicts the medicinal services conveyance arrangement of Pakistan and Singapore, investigation of both the human services frameworks and examines a portion of the suggestions so as to improve social insurance segment of Pakistan. In this paper, examination of medicinal services framework among Pakistan and Singapore is chosen since Global benchmarking loans further trustworthiness to Singapore's fine record. The Financial Specialist Insight Unit (2014) positions its wellbeing framework the subsequent best (after Japan) out of 166 on the planet. Additionally, the Bloomberg Social Insurance Effectiveness File 2017 positions it second best among 55 nations. Objective: Comparison of health care delivery system between Pakistan and Singapore. Methods: Literature review used for study. Through this examination and investigation, we can Improve Human services conveyance arrangement of Pakistan by utilizing apparatuses and methods utilized in Singapore. Study is about Correlation of medicinal services conveyance framework, various difficulties, shortcomings in wellbeing arrangements and suggestions to improve social insurance arrangement of Pakistan. Conclusion: Medicinal services segment is significant for any nation which legitimately influences the economy of nation. On the off chance that there would be solid labor there would be increment in the efficiency and therefore the economy of the nation will likewise observe an expansion that prompts human welfare.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the western developed notion of responsible leadership (RL) from a Singapore context. Design/methodology/approach Following the qualitative research tradition, face-to-face interviews with 20 influential Singaporean leaders were developed into case studies. Grounded theory methodology was applied to identify similarities and differences within and across cases. Findings The findings reveal that the interviewed Singaporean leaders projected traits and values consistent with western definitions of responsible and effective leadership. Findings also suggest that contextual factors such as national culture and the ethos of the nation as well as leaders’ relational intelligence influence RL. These factors also help responsible leaders to better manage the tension between responsible and effective leadership. Research limitations/implications The small and geographically bound sample size makes it difficult to generalise the findings of this study. As in other ethics studies, interviewees’ desire to present a socially desirable image of themselves could be high in this study. Finally, the methods and analytical techniques applied may be biased and be influenced by the purposive selection of the participants. Practical implications Singaporean business leaders may need to consider the importance of retaining and developing the national culture and ethos of the nation, since these are the factors that have been identified in this study as key to influencing RL. Originality/value This study identifies the factors that influence RL from a Singapore context. It extends the understanding of the mostly western-based multi-level theory of RL.

Abstract:

The article examines the impact of political stability on the economic development in Singapore. An attempt has been made to find an answer to the question of which regime determines economic growth: authoritarian or democratic. The study used descriptive, systematic and comparative methods, which allowed to analyze the impact of political stability on economic development of Singapore. The Singapore case should be viewed more as an exception to the rule than as an example of explaining the economic efficiency of authoritarian regimes. The study concludes that Singapore’s sustainable development cannot be explained by the influence of only one independent variable – political stability. Many other factors should be taken into account: cultural, historical, geographical, human. The economic success of this state was largely due to a consistent policy focused on achieving long-term results – economic growth and effective and rational planning, which became possible thanks to the political stability of the state.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper focuses on students’ perceptions of the quality of non-academic services received in higher education. While the important role played by expectations and perceptions in students’ evaluations of such services has been discussed in much of the service quality literature, there is insufficient work in the private tertiary educational sector (PTES). Thus, the purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between service quality, student satisfaction, and behavioural intentions in the PTES, using Singapore as a case study. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted quantitative research to address the research questions. Primary data were collected from 324 valid responses from a survey conducted in two private tertiary educational institutes (PTEIs) in Singapore. Findings The results suggested that perceived service quality is positively correlated to satisfaction; perceived service quality and satisfaction are positively correlated to favourable behavioural intentions; and the relationships among perceived service quality and loyalty and paying more for a service are mediated by satisfaction. Originality/value This study is significant as the results provide better insights for Singaporean administrators in PTEIs, which is an under-researched area. Generally, the results will have far-reaching implications for all stakeholders in the delivery and consumption of education services in PTEIs, within and beyond Singapore.

Abstract:

A history of urban floods underlines the state's efforts to discipline people as well as to control floodwaters. We focus on two big cities in Southeast Asia—Singapore and Metro Manila—in the period from after World War II until the 1980s. During this period, both cities traversed similar paths of demographic and socioeconomic change that had an adverse impact on the incidence of flooding. Official responses to floods in Singapore and Manila, too, shared the common pursuit of two objectives. The first was to tame nature by reducing the risk of flooding through drainage and other technical measures, as implemented by a modern bureaucracy. The second was to discipline human nature by eradicating “bad” attitudes and habits deemed to contribute to flooding, while nurturing behavior considered civic-minded and socially responsible. While Singapore's technocratic responses were more effective overall than those in Metro Manila, the return of floodwaters to Orchard Road in recent years has highlighted the shortcomings of high modernist responses to environmental hazards. This article argues that in controlling floods—that is, when nature is deemed hazardous—the state needs to accommodate sources of authority and expertise other than its own.

Abstract:

Singapore's immigration discourse is deeply influenced by its need to “right-size” its population. As a society that has and remains in need of immigration, contemporary immigration and globalization have rigorously challenged the conventional thinking and understanding of citizenship, as well as notions of who belongs and who does not. Nevertheless, international marriages and pervasive in-and out-migration for purposes of employment, study, and family, conspire to make more pronounced the decoupling of citizenship and residence in Singapore. This transnational dimension sits uncomfortably with the policy makers' desire for, and the imperatives of, state sovereignty, control, and jurisdiction.Although one quarter of people living in Singapore are foreigners, concerns of human rights and justice are largely peripheral, if not absent from the immigration discourse. This is seen most clearly in employment issues pertaining to foreign female domestic workers (FDWs), most of who come from other parts of Southeast Asia. ‘Rights talk’ is largely absent even as activists seek to engage the key stakeholders through the subtle promotion of rights for such workers.The government, however, has resisted framing the FDW issues as one of rights but instead has focused on promotional efforts that seek to enhance the regulatory framework. This dovetails with the reality that immigration law also functions as quasi-family law in which the freedom of FDWs and other foreign menial workers to marry Singapore citizens and permanent residents are severely restricted. As such, the immigration regime's selectivity functions as a draconian gatekeeper. Justice and human rights are but tangential concerns.

Abstract:

Abstract While Singapore’s education system claims to implement meritocratic ideals, official statistics indicate that Malay students in Singapore have been underperforming when compared to other ethnic groups (MOE 2012). This statistical representation raises the possibility of a politically induced, systemic inequality as a point of investigation. To investigate this seeming contradiction between the rhetoric and practice of equal educational opportunity, this paper proposes a philosophical and analytical synthesis for examining the 1979 policy report that provides the fundamental basis for Singapore’s streaming education system. In examining this policy development, the analysis draws upon a combination of Foucault’s archaeological method and Critical Discourse Analysis as a way of understanding conditions that made possible the continuous re-construction of new but unequal representation of learners. The findings suggest that complex relations between capability identification, justice, and ethics set the conditions for the appearance and transformation of subject positions necessary to legitimise unequal structural access.

Abstract:

Jihad in Paradise explores cultural and religious interaction in Singapore andcompares this with the intolerant radical Islamism threatening the countryand Southeast Asia in general. Millard, a senior journalist who first workedon East Asia and then Southeast Asia, artfully conveys his descriptive yetanalytical narrative of how Southeast Asia underwent radical change due, in large part, to the influence of global and regional terrorism. Meanwhile,Singapore has yet to move forward by allowing greater political freedom anddeveloping mutual dialogue and cooperation between its different religiouscommunities. The Malay minority must also adjust itself to such pragmaticeconomic and political climates. Singapore’s future depends on how well itmanages multicultural diversity and balances its economic progress andpolitical democracy.The book is divided into six chapters. In his introduction, Millardobserves how Singapore and Southeast Asia were generally prosperous andpeaceful until the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98, 9/11, and the 2002 Balibombings. He realizes that his book is not an “inside story,” for he regardshimself as only journalist who is deeply interested in human realities andtheir regional and global dimensions ...

Abstract:

Started in 1875, pawnbroking was a unique small business sector in Singapore. Its core business activity comprised giving out loans to walk-in pawners who presented valuables as collateral (pledges). Pawnbrokers made most of their profits from the interest differentials between the interests charged on the loans and the cost of capital of providing the loans. They were allowed to auction off unredeemed pledges through approved auction houses to recover their losses. Pawnbrokers were also allowed to purchase unredeemed pledges that had been pawned with themselves at the auction. About 90% of the pledges accepted by pawnbrokers thus were gold and jewelry. This case provides a detailed description of the pawnbroking industry in Singapore and the operations of pawnbrokers. The case is useful for teaching in areas such as industry analysis, company operation and human resource management.

Abstract:

The work concerns the restitution of museum remains as a special cultural asset found in archaeological museums. The research problem concerns reverence towards human remains constituting museum exhibits on the example of Singapore museums. This type of museum inventory has become the subject of intensified restitution activities on the part of tribal minorities, indigenous peoples, who claim the right to them on the basis of the right to worship after their deceased ancestors, the right to protect cultural, religious and traditional heritage. Such law is based in particular on the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The research objective focuses, first of all, on the legal grounds resulting from the Declaration, and secondly on the analysis of the inventory of selected Singaporean museums, which contain exhibits that are human remains in their collections. The main research hypothesis focuses on the statement that Singapore, as one of the few Asian countries, maintains a special regime of pietism towards the deceased, which is manifested in the way of treating and storing human remains as museum exhibits. This may be due to the country’s cultural conditions on the one hand, and religious and legal conditions on the other. This, in turn, translates into the approach of museums to restitution claims, which are increasingly being put forward by representatives of indigenous peoples in connection with the return of the remains of their deceased ancestors. These claims find their legal basis in acts of international law and collective human rights. Therefore, the work answers the questions whether museums in Singapore duly respect international law in the field of protection of human remains and the rights of indigenous peoples, and how this translates into reverence for this type of exhibits in museum practices in connection with ICOM regulations.

Abstract:

The environmental ramifications of rapid development on the functioning of warm tropical freshwater ecosystems are poorly understood. Here, a multi-proxy palaeolimnological approach is used to examine the nature and degree of anthropogenic environmental change in a tropical lowland reservoir in Singapore. Singapore has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past century, transitioning from a country with a largely agrarian landscape to one that is highly urbanised. Two radiometrically dated sediment cores were retrieved from one of the country’s oldest reservoirs and analysed for spheroidal carbonaceous particles (SCPs), mercury (Hg), atomic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), stable C and N isotopes (δ13C and δ15N), and diatoms. The sedimentary data show clear evidence of atmospheric pollution and nutrient enrichment as a result of human activities in Singapore and the region. During the early stages of Singapore’s development (1900s–1960s), the reservoir was minimally impacted and characterised by oligotrophic conditions. As the country began to industrialise and urbanise (1970s–1990s), the SCP data indicate increasing contamination by air pollutants derived from domestic sources of fossil fuel combustion, while the diatom, C/N, δ13C, and δ15N data suggest that the reservoir was becoming more productive, possibly from N depositions arising from an increase in electricity generation and a rapid expansion in transport infrastructure in Singapore. As the pace of development in Singapore slowed down (1990s–the present), the sedimentary data collectively indicate increasing depositions of atmospheric pollutants and nutrient enrichment mediated by a warming climate. A substantial component of increased atmospheric pollution is likely to be of distal, and thus transboundary, origin.

Abstract:

This research paper aims to conduct a comparative analysis of human capital in Kazakhstan and South Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia. In 1997 the president of Kazakhstan announced in his "Program for Strategic Development of Kazakhstan until 2030" that the country by 2030 will be one of the developed countries in the world such as the “Asian Tigers” - South Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia. Thus, the research paper seeks to determine the level of economic development and human capital of Kazakhstan compared with those countries. The paper discusses the situation in South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia in order to find directions for economic improvements in Kazakhstan through developing human capital. After reviewing the education development of Korea, Singapore and Malaysia and the state of the economy and education in Kazakhstan, it concluded that it is crucial for Kazakhstan to develop its human capital in order to turn the country into a diversified, highly productive economy and to reach its goal of joining the top-30 developed countries in the world.

Abstract:

The race to develop and implement autonomous systems and artificial intelligence has challenged the responsiveness of governments in many areas and none more so than in the domain of labour market policy. This article draws upon a large survey of Singaporean employees and managers (N = 332) conducted in 2019 to examine the extent and ways in which artificial intelligence and autonomous technologies have begun impacting workplaces in Singapore. Our conclusions reiterate the need for government intervention to facilitate broad-based participation in the productivity benefits of fourth industrial revolution technologies while also offering re-designed social safety nets and employment protections.

Abstract:

This article profiles the development and future potential of the meetings and convention (MICE) industry in Singapore. More than 400,000 international visitors attend over 4000 events every year in Singapore. The MICE sector is the highest earning component of the Singapore tourism industry, with the average attendee spending more than $2000 per visit. Although Singapore has state-of-the-art industry infrastructure and hardware, questions remain about the training and development of sufficient local human capital needed to manage the future of this globally competitive and specialized industry.

Abstract:

The discussion on the Travel Corridor Arrangement (TCA) between the Indonesian and Singaporean governments will continue in the future. However, technically and practically, there are still some issues that the Indonesian government has not effectively addressed, which shows that we are technically still waiting for the right decision while the number of cases of the COVID-19 pandemic is decreasing. This study aims to test different research hypotheses about the elements influencing Indonesia's readiness for TCA with the Singapore government. The technique used a qualitative literature review. To support the literature review with secondary data, the researchers increased the examination of research hypotheses using the NVivo program, which was then thoroughly assessed. The findings show that the researcher will also identify that Indonesia will be more sensitive to TCA than Singapore, so the decision is rejected, while the following hypothesis is that TCA also focuses on tourists, compared to business activities between the two countries, and that the Indonesian government has also proposed the implementation of RGL. However, RGL is not a priority, implying that TCA is effective. If RGL is emphasized, the hypothesis can be accepted. Based on some of these hypotheses' results, the first hypothesis's rejection is caused by the lack of Human Resource Management expertise in implementing TCA with the Singapore government. The conclusion is that TCA implementation in Indonesia is not yet ready to be implemented between Indonesia and Singapore during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:

In the law of employment contracts, an implied term in law that has held sway over various Commonwealth jurisdictions is the implied term of mutual trust and confidence. The term gives rise to hidden but major implications for employment relations around the world. Yet few seemed to question its utility and foundational basis until the High Court of Australia’s unanimous rejection of the term in Commonwealth Bank of Australia v. Barker. In Singapore, it is also often assumed that the implied term is accepted law even though the legal position actually remains wide open. This article seeks to critically examine the genesis of the term and its operation in Singapore. It also argues that despite the Singapore High Court’s repeated endorsement of this term, there are compelling reasons in both policy and principle as to why such a term should be rejected in Singapore.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the dialectical interplay between centralisation and decentralisation forces so as to understand how schools leverage on its autonomous pedagogical space, influence the diffusion of innovations in the educational landscape of Singapore and how a centralised-decentralised system supports (or impedes) pedagogical reform for twenty-first century learning. Design/methodology/approach The paper first outlines the evolutionary stance of Singapore’s decentralisation from its past to present trajectories, thus providing a broader social-historical interpretation to its tight-loose-tight coupling of the education system; followed by situating the context of reform within the national narrative of Ministry of Education’s (MOE) twenty-first century competencies framework. The authors examine how school autonomy should be accompanied by systemic enabling mechanisms, through two case illustrations of whole-school reforms. Findings There are four carryover effects that the authors have observed: structural, socio-cultural, economic and epistemic. Middle managers from the two schools act as a pedagogical, socio-technological and financial broker outside the formal collaborative structures organised by the MOE. Such a “middle-out” approach, complemented by centralised mechanisms for “coeval sensing mechanism”, has resulted in boundary-spanning linkages and multiplier effects in terms of knowledge spillovers. Research limitations/implications Socio-cultural context matters; and what constitutes as co-learning between policymakers and practitioners in Singapore may be construed as policing that stifles innovations in other contexts. Originality/value In addition to the conceptualisation of how school autonomy may lead to school-based innovations, the paper provided some preliminary empirical evidence of how the co-production of knowledge has been engendered within, across and beyond individual Singapore schools through the mechanism of innovation diffusion. The unit of analysis is innovation ecosystem.

Abstract:

Human progress and development has always been marked by breakthroughs in the control of materials. Since prehistoric times, through the stone, bronze, and iron ages, humans have exploited their environment for materials that can be either used directly or can be modified for their benefit, to make their life more comfortable, productive, or to gain military advantage. One age replaces another when the material that is the basis for its sustainability runs its course and is replaced by another material which presents more qualities or functionalities.
