Full textAbstract:
Singapore has undertaken coastal reclamation activities since 1976 in the southwest of Singapore's main island bordering the Nipa Island, Riau Archipelago, Indonesia. In reclamation, Singapore took sand from Nipa Island Indonesia bounded by the sea with Singapore. This reclamation will have an impact on several things that is the maritime boundaries and the territorial sovereignty of both countries. This article is attempted to describe how the impact of Singapore coastal reclamation against the maritime boundary and territorial sovereignty of Indonesia-Singapore. The author is using the concept of State Sovereigntynd the International Maritime Law in UNCLOS 1982. Furthermore, this paper is using the descriptive method with the qualitative approach. The data collection technique is literature study consisting of books, journals, and including data from the reliable website in supporting the explanation of this paper. Based on the provisions of UNCLOS 1982, it can be concluded that Singapore's coastal reclamation has no effect on the maritime boundary between Indonesia and Singapore, where maritime boundaries remain at baseline before Singapore reclamates. However, Singapore's coastal reclamation could threaten Indonesia's territorial sovereignty as the mainland of Singapore approaching Nipa Island Indonesia can assume that Singapore wants to take control of Nipa Island, especially the Nipa Island region is strategically located because of its near to the Singapore Strait which is an international shipping line.
Abstrak
Singapura telah melakukan kegiatan reklamasi pantai sejak 1976 di barat daya pulau utama Singapura yang berbatasan dengan Pulau Nipa, Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia. Dalam reklamasi, Singapura mengambil pasir dari Pulau Nipa Indonesia yang dibatasi langsung oleh laut dengan Singapura. Reklamasi ini akan berdampak pada beberapa hal, yaitu batas maritim dan kedaulatan teritorial kedua negara. Tulisan ini memaparkan bagaimana dampak reklamasi pantai Singapura terhadap batas maritim dan kedaulatan teritorial Indonesia-Singapura. Dalam tulisan ini, penulis menggunakan konsep Kedaulatan Negara dan Hukum Laut Internasional UNCLOS 1982. Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif dan pendekatan kualitatif, data yang disajikan dalam artikel ini bersumber dari studi pustaka, baik buku, jurnal, serta data dari website guna mendukung penjelasan akhir. Berdasarkan ketentuan UNCLOS 1982, dapat disimpulkan bahwa reklamasi pantai Singapura tidak berpengaruh pada batas maritim antara Indonesia dan Singapura, di mana batas-batas maritim tetap pada kesepakatan awal sebelum Singapura melakukan reklamasi. Namun, reklamasi pantai Singapura dapat mengancam kedaulatan teritorial Indonesia karena daratan Singapura yang mendekati Pulau Nipa Indonesia dapat diasumsikan bahwa Singapura ingin menguasai Pulau Nipa, terutama wilayah Pulau Nipa yang strategis karena letaknya yang dekat dengan Selat Singapura yang merupakan jalur pelayaran internasional.

The title of this paper is influenced by that of Lee Soo Ann's book, Singapore Goes Transnational. However, the subject matter of this paper though related, is quite different. By Singapore “going transnational”, Lee was referring to how Singapore's economy became dominated by foreign transnational corporations (TNCs). During that process and period, local Singaporean companies declined in importance. This paper deals with the resurgence of Singaporean companies to the extent that some have spread their operations to other countries and have attained the status of TNCs.

Full textAbstract:
In Singapore, Islamic identity matters mainly because Muslims and Malays have special constitutional status. However, state policies seem to contradict the status while the community is still dealing with the problem of backwardness in educational and economic development. This article examines the profile and strategic role of two Islamic organizations, MUIS (Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore) and Pergas (Persatuan Ulama dan Guru-Guru Agama Islam Singapura, Singapore Islamic Scholars, and Religious Teachers Association), in accommodating the expression and reconstructing Singaporean Muslim identity. Through intensive library research and using an interdisciplinary approach from social constructivist and fiqh of minorities’ perspectives, this article found that both have played a very important role in the expression and construction of Singaporean Muslim identity. There have been dynamic contestation and cooperation between the state policies towards the Muslim community. However, the global effect of Islamist extremism and terrorism has united them in terms of religious thought, attitude, and the formulation of the ideal Singaporean Muslim identity. The changing process of their stances toward the government’s policies was effective due to the function of fiqh of minorities in contextualizing Islamic teachings in the context of Singapore as a secular state.

Full textAbstract:
Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE) policy in the Singapore local schools admission that places international students as the last priority after Singapore citizens and Permanent Residents, coupled with the expensive school fees for international students are the main problems in accessing primary and secondary education faced by Indonesian citizens in Singapore. Efforts from various parties are needed to ensure the fulfillment of access to primary and secondary education for Indonesian Citizens in Singapore. This research explores state and non-state actors' efforts to ensure access to primary and secondary education for Indonesian citizens in Singapore. Data collection was obtained through interviews and a literature review. This research shows that multi-track diplomacy is established between state actors consisting of the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore and Indonesian State-Owned Enterprises as representative of track 1, and non-state actors consist of professionals (track 2), entrepreneurs (track 3), and college students (track 5). The multi-track diplomacy is reflected in the establishment of Sekolah Indonesia (Singapura) Ltd. and Pusat Kegiatan Belajar Masyarakat (PKBM) KBRI Singapura. The multi-track diplomacy is established because of shared values of humanitarianism. The collaboration of multi-track diplomacy and the spirit of humanitarianism has received positive responses from Singapore Government agencies and educational institutions, which aim to improve the quality of education at Sekolah Indonesia (Singapura) Ltd. and PKBM KBRI Singapura.

The aim of this paper is to examine the Islamic Banking and Finance (IBF) industry in Singapore. Singapore is known to be a global financial hub with a resilient economy for capital flow. As a Muslim minority country, the Islamic finance industry in Singapore is established and fairly stable. This study analyses Singapore’s legal and regulatory framework of IBF to review the legal and regulatory framework which promotes the development of Islamic finance in Singapore. IBF in Singapore has been treated equally as the conventional banking under the same regulatory framework, with little guidelines on Shariah governance in the country. This paper concludes that the Singaporean government adopts a flexible approach in regulating IBF in Singapore, with little interventions on Shariah matters.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Although Singapore no longer governs Christmas Island, either on behalf of its British colonial administrators or for itself, some Singaporeans continue to regard it as a lost territory and have false impressions that it once belonged and should again belong to Singapore. By examining this complexity related to Christmas Island and its possible implications for Singapore’s national psyche, this paper surveys the newspapers of Singapore and oral history records of Singaporean ministers and officials for accounts of Christmas Island. It suggests that Singaporean newspapers’ portrayal of Christmas Island as a neglected Australian overseas territory contributed to some Singaporeans’ perception that Christmas Island might actually be better off with Singapore; others even had a misconception of Christmas Island as a lost territory. Such opinions have never really dissipated because the government has never publicly clarified the transfer of Christmas Island and rejected claims about its “sale” to Australia.

Full textAbstract:
This paper critically examines how contemporary Singaporean writers use language in verse, that is poetry, to make vivid representations of Singapore as a nation and discursively construct the social notion of the country's national identity. Utilizing Wodak's (2001) Discourse-Historical framework, this paper reveals how the two authors use some common discursive strategies, mainly representational and predicational, in making explicit representations of Singapore and creating a strong sense of national identity. In their poetry, authors frequently utilize referential linguistic devices such as first personal pronouns to attach specific human traits that help personify Singapore and express an in-group identity that functions as a unifying mechanism that connects Singapore, including its people, together. Lexical repetitions and rhetorical figures are also used to convey more emphasis and reveal the authors' intended meanings or messages. The authors employ various descriptive words to create better and more accurate imageries of Singapore as a varied community and as a nation. Furthermore, the authors' discursive techniques perform both the "constructing" and "preserving" macro-functions by discursively constructing Singapore's national identity as well as making an urgent call to all Singaporeans to safeguard their collective identity.Keywords: contemporary poetry; critical discourse analysis; discursive strat-egies; national identity; Wodak’s (2001) Discourse-Historical Ap-proach Penggambaran Singapura di dalam sajak: Analisa wacana kritis pada puisi kontemporer dan peranannya dalam perkembangan identitas nasionalPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara kritis bagaimana penulis Singapura kontemporer menggunakan bahasa dalam sajak, yaitu puisi, utamanya pada puisi, untuk membuat representasi yang jelas tentang Singapura sebagai sebuah negara. Selain itu penelitian ini secara diskursif membangun gagasan sosial tentang identitas nasional negara tersebut. Dengan menggunakan kerangka wacana-sejarah dari Wodak (2001), hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dua penulis menggunakan dua strategi diskursif yang telah banyak digunakan, yaitu secara representasional dan predikatif, dalam membuat representasi eksplisit dan identitas nasional Singapura yang kuat. Pada puisi mereka, para penulis sering menggunakan perangkat linguistik referensial, seperti kata ganti orang pertama, dalam mencantumkan karakteristik khusus yang dapat menggambarkan warga Singapura dan identitas kelompok yang dapat mempersatukan Singapura, termasuk warga negaranya. Selain itu, pengulangan leksikal dan figur retoris juga digunakan untuk memberikan penekanan dan menunjukkan makna atau pesan yang ingin disampaikan oleh penulis. Para penulis juga banyak menggunakan kata-kata deskriptif untuk menggambarkan citra Singapura sebagai komunitas yang beragam dan sebagai sebuah negara, secara lebih baik dan akurat. Lebih lanjut, penulis dengan teknik diskursif juga melakukan fungsi makro ‘membangun’ dan ‘melestarikan’ untuk membentuk identitas nasional Singapura, serta menyerukan bagi seluruh warga Singapura agar mereka senantiasa menjaga identitas kolektif mereka.Kata kunci: puisi kontemporer, analisis wacana kritis, strategi diskursif, identitas nasional, kerangka wacana-sejarah dari Wodak (2001)

This article focuses on the discursive construction of national identity through a National Day Rally speech delivered by Singapore’s Prime Minister in 2010. Inspired by the theoretical framework of Critical Discourse Analysis and using methods developed by Halliday and van Leeuwen, it offers a close analysis of the speech, which uncovers patterns related to the type, extent and effects of various agentive roles attributed to the country, government and people of Singapore. Macro-discursive strategies like the use of specific references and real-life anecdotes calculated to reify the success of the Singapore ‘brand’ and inspire Singaporeans are also discussed. Through this multi-layered analysis, the article demonstrates how discourse transforms an imagining of Singapore’s nationhood into a concrete image of what Singapore is and what being a Singaporean is all about.

Full textAbstract:
Since the establishment of the Singapore Chinese Orchestra (Xinjiapo huayue tuan 新加坡華樂團) in 1997, it has attempted to develop its approach to Chinese music differently from other international counterparts. Gradually, the Singapore Chinese Orchestra developed and performed Chinese music, reflecting Singapore’s diverse cultures and identities by incorporating non-Chinese music elements from Singapore and Southeast Asia. This article examines the “Nanyang-style music” (Nanyang feng huayue 南洋風華樂) of the Singapore Chinese Orchestra. It draws on Tu Wei-Ming’s (1991) concept of ‘Cultural China’ and builds on Brian Bernards’ (2015) work on the ‘Nanyang’ in Chinese and Southeast Asian literature to consider the creation and performance of new forms of modern Chinese orchestral music. I argue that the Singapore Chinese Orchestra’s Nanyang-style music, which has its roots in modern Chinese orchestral music, is created and performed to present the cultural hybridity of the Chinese in Singapore society. This article shows that the Nanyang-style music is performed in two ways, namely, Chinese music combining Nanyang elements and Chinese music presenting a Singaporean identity.

The escalation of cyber threats in Singapore has prompted the country to intensify its cyberspace security protection. Singapore then implemented numerous strategies by collaborating across agencies and actors to obtain a protective cyberspace security system. This research aimed at figuring out Singapore Cyber Security Strategy (SCSS) documents comprehensively throughout textual analysis based on qualitative approach of an emerging-dominant elements in documents such as actor, instrument, politic, economy, research, and collaboration which were cooperated within actors. The author also fulfilled this analysis using qualitative approach to measure the data relation and the big picture of SCSS documents. Finally, the author found that Singapore’s strategy in applications and infrasctructure aspects, the government intervened them intensively. Singapore, one of the highest technological expertise countries in Southeast Asia, was fuflnerable getting the threats or attacks. So, this country was regulating an excellent cyber system and infrastructure to proctect their cyber management system secure. Meanwhile, Singapore’s policy in core aspects was a transfer due to the fact that Singapore was multi-ethnical and multi-culturalism country. Thus, Singapore’s strategy for ideological aspects was not regulated significantly in SCSS documents.

Abstrak
Eskalasi ancaman terhadap ruang siber yang terjadi di Singapura telah mendorong negara tersebut untuk meningkatkan proteksi keamanan ruang sibernya. Singapura kemudian menerapkan berbagai strategi dengan cara menjalin kerjasama lintas instansi dan aktor untuk memperoleh sistem keamanan ruang siber yang lebih protektif. Tulisan ini bermaksud untuk memahami dokumen Singapore Cyber Security Strategy (SCSS) secara komprehensif dengan melakukan analisis kontekstual berdasarkan pendekatan kualitatif terhadap sejumlah unsur yang dominan muncul di dalam dokumen seperti aktor, instrument, politik, ekonomi, penelitian, dan kolaborasi yang dibangun di antara para aktor. Penulis juga melengkapi analisis ini dengan pendekatan kuantitatif untuk mengukur relasi data dan kecenderungan yang tergambar dari dokumen SCSS tersebut. Hasilnya, penulis menemukan bahwa pada level strategi di sektor application dan infrastruktur, pemerintah Singapura memiliki intervensi penuh dalam mengatur seluruh aktivitas di kedua aspek tersebut. Sebagai salah satu negara yang cukup signifikan di dalam pengelolaan teknologinya di kawasan Asia Tenggara, maka Singapura secara eksklusif berupaya membangun sistem dan infrastruktur siber yang mumpuni untuk melindungi tata kelola ruang siber mereka dari berbagai ancaman. Berbeda pada aspek core yang bersifat lebih terbuka (transfer) lantaran banyak dipengaruhi oleh multietnis dan multikulturalisme. Sehingga proteksi terhadap hal-hal yang bersifat ideologis tidak banyak diatur di dalam dokumen SCSS.

Az 1965-ben függetlenné vált Szingapúrban azonnal bevezették a 6 osztályos kötelező elemi iskolai oktatást – angol nyelven, ami akkor elsősorban az egységes szingapúri identitás megteremtésének eszköze volt. Az angol fokozatosan a teljes oktatási rendszer nyelvévé vált, s a közoktatás folyamatos bővítése mellett a fő hangsúlyt a matematika és a természettudományok oktatására helyezték. Szingapúr városállam, ahol a függetlenség elnyerése óta folyamatosan politikai egypárt-rendszer működik. Ebből adódóan az oktatási rendszer – a tanárképzéstől és -továbbképzéstől a tantervekig és az egyes tananyagokig – erősen centralizált. Mivel az oktatás tervezése a kezdetektől a makrogazdasági tervezés szerves része, a szingapúri oktatási rendszer rugalmasan illeszkedik a gazdasági stratégia változásaihoz. A szingapúri oktatási rendszer alapvetően angolszász típusú, s az ország gazdaságpolitikájának megfelelően folyamatosan igazodik a globális gazdasági és oktatási trendekhez. A szingapúri közoktatás nemzetközi összehasonlításban is különösen sikeres – ezt a továbbtanulási arányok és a PISA-felmérésekben elért kiemelkedő eredményei is tükrözik. = After its independence in 1965, Singapore immediately introduced six years long compulsory and free primary education in English. Teaching in English aimed creating a unified Singaporean identity. English gradually became the working language of the entire education system. Alongside a steady expansion of public education, the main emphasis was placed on mathematics and science. Singapore is a city-state, featuring a one-party political system since its independence. Consequently, its education system, including teacher training and in-service training to curricula and individual teaching materials, is highly centralised. Since education planning has been an integral part of macroeconomic planning, the education system in Singapore has been flexibly aligned to changes in economic strategy. Singapore's education system is essentially Anglo-Saxon and has been constantly adapted to global economic and educational trends just like the country's economic policy. Singapore's public education system is particularly successful by international standards, as reflected by the high share of students continuing studies in higher-level educational institutions as well as by Singapore’s outstanding rankings in the PISA surveys.

Full textAbstract:
As the cinema of a small nation, Singapore cinema punches above its weight. The series of international film festival awards won by Singaporean filmmakers alongside the multiple books published on Singapore cinema since the 2010s seem to signal a revival of the industry. This editorial introduction unpacks the term ‘Singapore New Wave’ as a starting point for this Special Issue to raise questions about the changes that appear to be happening in Singapore’s film industry. By situating the ‘Singapore New Wave’ within global cinema, this article argues for the importance of considering the issue of survival in the cinema of a small nation, and for an expansion of ways in which film scholars can gain the critical insights traditionally obtained from conventional new wave films. More positively, this more expansive working definition adds to broader new wave literature by exploring unconventional ways in which films can constitute or contribute to a new wave beyond traditional genres, auteurs, styles or themes associated with new wave cinema.

National security is still a major part of every country in the world, including Singapore, in realizing its country's goals. Singapore, as an archipelagic country in Southeast Asia, views the level of maritime security as key to maintaining the stability of its national security. However, the efforts made by Singapore to maintain its maritime security position rub against other countries around it, including Indonesia. This position can further harm Indonesia. This research uses the descriptive qualitative analysis method. This paper looks at how Singapore's efforts to strengthen its maritime capabilities as an extension of its national security can affect Indonesia's sovereign territory.
Keamanan Nasional masih menjadi bagian utama bagi setiap negara di dunia, tidak terkecuali Singapura dalam mewujudkan tujuan negaranya. Singapura sebagai salah satu negara kepulauan di Asia Tenggara memandang bahwa tingkat keamanan maritim menjadi kunci dalam menjaga stabilitas keamanan nasionalnya. Namun, upaya-upaya yang dilakukan oleh Singapura dalam mempertahankan posisi keamanan maritimnya bergesekan dengan negara-negara disekitarnya, termasuk Indonesia. Posisi ini selanjutnya dapat merugikan Indonesia. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif kualitatif. Pada tulisan ini melihat bagaimana upaya Singapura yang memperkuat kemampuan maritimnya sebagai penjabaran keamanan nasionalnya dapat mempengaruhi wilayah kedaulatan Indonesia.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article addresses transnational higher education strategies both to and from Singapore. It does so by focusing on outbound educational mobility from Singapore to the UK and inbound educational mobility from Vietnam to Singapore. Since the turn of the century, Singapore has pursued the agenda of developing itself as a regional hub for higher education, aspiring to be a Global Schoolhouse. Yet, while the number of international students grows in local universities, Singapore's academically brightest do not necessarily take advantage of higher educational opportunities within the shores of the city-state, with many traveling to universities overseas through a form of sponsored mobility. Using two case studies, I trace two logics of commodification and consecration as observed through the processes whereby individuals and institutions devise transnational higher education strategies into and out of Singapore. The first case study draws on interviews conducted with Singaporean undergraduates at Oxbridge while the second case focuses on Vietnamese students at two Singaporean universities. Together, the analysis from these cases uncovers the value for these Southeast Asian students in studying abroad and distinguishes between different types of routes that exist: one where students choose their own educational plans and another where students are chosen for a prestigious educational and occupational pathway. With increasing participation in mass higher education taking place across the region, the article outlines, through the site of Singapore, strategies of transnationalism employed by both individuals and institutions as a means of social differentiation.

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

Offensive language use in Singapore’s languacultures appears to be underpinned by cultural norms and values embraced by most if not all Singaporeans. Interviews with local informants and perusal of Singapore’s linguistic and cultural resources led to the identification of eight offensive words and phrases deemed representative of Singaporean coarseness. This set was narrowed down to a smaller set of common words and phrases, all Chinese Hokkien, all culturally laden. The finding that, although originally Hokkien, all of them are accessible not only to the Chinese-speaking population but also to speakers of Singapore Malay, Singapore Tamil, and Singapore English is compelling. The words and phrases studied in this paper are full-fledged members of the lexicon of these local non-Chinese languages, without loss or distortion of meaning. They are accepted as part of the local linguistic scene and of local cultural knowledge. At least in certain situations, people of different ethnic backgrounds who live and work together can rely on them as a testament of common identity which, in a curious way, gives voice to the sociocultural homogeneity this society unrelentingly pursues.

Singapore is categorized as a Developed Country because of its developed trading industry among Southeast Asian countries. The existence of Singapore is inseparable from the presence of residents. As is known, most residents of Singapore are the result of migration policies due to the lack of population. Singapura recorded a record decline in people over the past year. The government's annual brief report revealed that the restrictions and conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic were one of the leading causes. Singaporean population also fell 0.7% to 3.5 million, while permanent residents (PR) fell 6.2% to 0.49 million. This is the first drop from YoY, both in population and population since data was collected in 1970. Migration is the movement of people from one area to another aimed at living sedentary, which goes beyond the administrative/political boundaries. The move made by a resident is usually immigrant because he has the desire to live a sedentary life for a long time. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with literature review research. The results showed that one of the factors driving migration from Indonesia to Singapore was the lack of labor in Singapore. The process of self-formation into a Singaporean identity through migration, adaptation, and integration stages. Singapore has a policy toward migrant workers. The policy is specifically related to skills and age. If workers’ skills do not meet the criteria, the Government applies a policy to upgrade skills by conducting certified training. The Basic Skill Certificate (BSC) and Skill Evaluation Certificate (SEC) have been implemented since 1998.

Abstract Bilingualism has always been emphasized in Singapore’s education system. Since 1959, Singapore government leaders have repeatedly stressed that bilingualism is the cornerstone of Singapore’s language policy. Scholars researching language policy and planning in Singapore have also assumed that Singapore has always maintained a consistent stand on bilingualism. This paper cites the case of Chinese language (Mandarin) education as evidence to show how “bilingual” education has undergone significant changes in Singapore by tracing the historical changes and examining how bilingual education has evolved since its implementation. The findings show that the once-compulsory bilingual requirements gave way to differentiated ones in the history of Singapore’s bilingual policy. This finding will help researchers have a better understanding of Singapore’s “bilingual education” today and its position compared to other bilingual education systems in the world.

Artikel ini berfokus pada strategi penanganan COVID-19 di Singapura. Singapura adalah satu negara yang dianggap sukses dalam penanganan COVID-19. Dengan menggunakan analisis kapasitas kebijakan publik dan pegumpulan data selama Januari–Juli 2020, artikel ini menemukan bahwa ada tiga hal yang mendorong keberhasilan Singapura, yaitu: sistem mitigasi bencana kesehatan yang responsif dan efisien; legitimasi pemerintah yang tinggi; dan modal sosial di masyarakat yang pernah mengalami pandemi SARS. Artikel ini juga menemukan bahwa sistem mitigasi bencana kesehatan hanya berlaku maksimal untuk warga lokal, sedangkan warga asing khususnya para pekerja migran kerah biru tidak banyak dijangkau. Klaster asrama pekerja migran adalah klaster terbanyak ditemukan kasus COVID-19 dan lebih dari 90 persen kasus nasional berasal dari kelompok ini. Temuan lainnya adalah jatuhnya Singapura pada resesi dengan pertumbuhan minus 13,2 persen di kuartal kedua tahun 2020. Kebijakan stimulus fiskal dan moneter yang diberikan tidak mampu mendorong pertumbuhan karena ekonomi Singapura yang dependen terhadap ekonomi global; dominasi sektor transportasi, jasa, dan pariwisata Singapura adalah sektor-sektor yang paling terdampak akibat pandemi. Kata-kata kunci: COVID-19, mitigasi bencana kesehatan, pekerja migran, resesi, SingapuraThis article focuses on Singapore's strategies for dealing with COVID-19. Singapore is considered as a successful country in handling COVID-19. Using an analysis of public policy capacity and data collection within January-July 2020, this article finds three driving factors for Singapore's success: a responsive and efficient health disaster mitigation system; a high legitimacy in the government; and society's experience with the SARS epidemic. This article also finds that the health disaster mitigation system only applies optimally to permanent residents. While foreigners, mostly blue-collar migrant workers, are not widely reached. The migrant worker dormitory cluster is a cluster with the highest number of COVID-19 cases detected, which makes up to 90 percent of national cases. Other findings include Singapore's inevitable recession, with a minus 13.2 percent of the economic growth in the second quarter of 2020. The fiscal and monetary stimulus policies provided were not able to boost the economic growth because Singapore's economy depended on the global economy; the dominance of the transportation, service, and tourism sectors Singapore were most affected by the pandemic.Keywords: COVID-19, health disaster mitigation, migrant workers, recession, Singapore

Pemerintah Singapura telah melakukan beragam kebijakan pengendalian tembakau (tobacco control) untuk menekan jumlah perokok. Singapura termasuk salah satu negara di dunia yang menerapkan regulasi ketat dalam pengendalian produk tembakau. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperkirakan dampak penerapan kebijakan kemasan rokok Singapura terhadap ekspor rokok Indonesia. Kebijakan tersebut diasumsikan memiliki dampak sebagaimana kebijakan pengendalian konsumsi tembakau non-harga pada umumnya meskipun kebijakan tersebut belum diimplementasikan. Metode yang digunakan berupa analisis deskriptif yang dilengkapi dengan analisis ekonometri menggunakan Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) dengan sampel Triwulan III-2006 hingga Triwulan IV-2014. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa ekspor rokok Indonesia lebih dipengaruhi oleh re-ekspor Singapura dibandingkan dengan konsumsi domestiknya. Selain itu, kebijakan pengendalian tembakau non-harga secara statistik tidak berpengaruh terhadap konsumsi rokok di Singapura. Oleh sebab itu, Indonesia tidak perlu khawatir dengan rencana kebijakan kemasan rokok yang akan diterapkan. Pemerintah Indonesia harus aktif melakukan negosiasi apabila Singapura benar-benar menerapkan kebijakan kemasan rokok dalam rangka mendapatkan kompensasi perdagangan atas kebijakan tersebut. The government of Singapore has implemented various tobacco control policies to reduce the number of smoker. Singapore is one of the countries in the world that implemented a tight regulation to control tobacco products. This study aims to estimate the potential impacts of Singapore’s cigarette plain packaging policy on the Indonesian cigarettes exports. As this policy is not yet implemented, it is assumed that the policy will have the same impacts as the common tobacco control policy, especially for the non-price policy. The study used descriptive analysis supported by econometrics analysis using Two-Stage Least Squares method (2SLS) using quarterly data from III-2006 to IV-2014. The results showed that the Indonesian cigarettes export is much more influenced by the Singapore’s re-exports rather than by the domestic consumption. Moreover, the non-price tobacco control policies do not have statistically significant effect on the cigarette consumption in Singapore. Therefore, Indonesia should not be worried about the possible implementation of the plain packaging policy. Indonesian government must actively negotiate if Singapore finally implements the plain packaging policy to get a compensation trade from this policy.

Abstract
Creativity and risk-taking, widely accepted prerequisites for successful entrepreneurial behavior, were absent for a long time from Singaporean culture, where people were accustomed to well paying and readily available jobs in the public sector. As a result of the economic slowdown of the late 1990s, promoting entrepreneurial activities became a priority of the Singapore
government. This study analyzes the entrepreneurial characteristics of Singapore's multi-racial and multi-cultural society, and attempts to find if there are any reasons as to why some people are more readily willing to engage in entrepreneurial behavior, based on factors such as race, gender, and culture.

Little has been written critically about Singapore's approach towards Internet regulation and policy/ing. This paper therefore seeks to disambiguate the social, cultural and political aspects of Internet regulation in Singapore. We provide an analysis of Singapore's Internet content regulation, and an update of the information (technology) scene in Singapore, including its converging broadcasting, (tele)communications and media areas, all of which impact upon ‘Internet policy’. We begin with an introduction to Singapore's policy-making style and an up-to-date account of Singapore's information aims and agendas. We then explore the ideology behind Singapore's Internet policy, especially censorship of content, and examine what is known as the ‘light-touch’ regulatory framework. We conclude that media conservatism is likely to continue in Singapore despite recent moves that would appear to ‘open up’ Singapore society.

This paper is based on the background of many Chinese immigrants to Singapore in recent years. Singapore is a multicultural country. The Chinese identity in Singapore is also influenced by multiple factors such as history and culture. This paper studies the causes and status quo of the identity dilemma of the Chinese in Singapore, which provides a reference for China's research in this field and promotes the development of China-Singapore relations. This study is based on the intercultural communication theory and the consultative identity theory, using case analysis to draw the conclusion that the current Singaporean Chinese are faced with a dilemma in the identity process, and put forward suggestions on this phenomenon: Singaporean Chinese should actively negotiate to carry out innovative development on the basis of protecting the fundamental development of identity culture. Understanding and helping Singaporean Chinese to form an identity and value system is conducive to promoting the positive development of China-Singapore relations under the background of globalization.

Full textAbstract:
Focusing on Singapore's 'Global Schoolhouse' project, this article discusses how efforts to transform Singapore into a 'world class' knowledge economy entail changes to the status of citizenship in Singapore. The project of wooing top foreign universities to Singapore is permeated with an entrepreneurial ideal of Singapore as the 'Boston of the East'. Since Singaporeans tend to be viewed by the Singapore government as particularly risk averse compared to Westerners and other Asians, the government has increasingly relied on 'foreign talent' to provide entrepreneurial dynamism to Singapore. The expansion of high-quality university education in Singapore serves as a vehicle of this 'foreign talent' policy as much as it accommodates the needs of local students for higher education. The ensuing questions about citizenship in Singapore's knowledge economy are finally discussed in terms of a differentiated 'entrepreneurial citizenship'.

This paper develops a framework for investigating the linkages between Singaporean entrepreneurs and Australia. The first link examined is through Singapore investment in Australia. There are about three thousand Singapore-based companies overseas with investments in a broad range of industries. Australia is among the top six investment host countries. One of the most important links is through Singaporean entrepreneurs sending their children to Australia to be educated. Educational services are provided to the next generation of entrepreneurs and also provide familiarity with the political and economic environment in which Singapore entrepreneurs can do business in Australia. Another important link is through migration of Singaporean entrepreneurs to Australia. Research shows that the flow of Singaporean students to Australia is a major factor in determining the flow of entrepreneurs to Australia. This flow is, however, also strongly influenced by the general economic conditions. The issues explored in this paper are major given the importance of Asian entrepreneurs to Australia’s economic strategy of incorporation into the markets of Asia. The drain of entrepreneurs to Australia may also be of concern to Singapore. On the other hand, the links created with Singapore firms may be of long term benefit to Singapore.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid economic development of Singapore has been attributed to its plan-rational technocratic elite, according to the developmental state model. However, few studies have addressed the impacts of the country’s deeply entrenched developmental state tradition on its environment and environmental governance. This article establishes the nexus between these two by examining Singapore’s transition into a garden city. It demonstrates how the Singaporean government has maintained a top-down, nonparticipatory approach to policy making in line with the postulations of authoritarian environmentalism and how this mode of governance is related to the developmental state legacy. While Singapore’s environmental policy resulted in its international reputation as a model green city with a remarkable expansion of green spaces and infrastructure, these outputs signify the results of the developmental state’s deliberate planning and management based on a utilitarian view toward nature rather than on the outcomes of an organic and comprehensive transition to a green society.

Full textAbstract:
Translanguaging has been researched as a heated topic about multilingual discourse studies. However, there were few studies observing from the perspective of translanguaging among Chinese Singaporeans in routine conversations, which is a research gap. Accordingly, this paper aims to examine the nature and discuss the influencing factors of translanguaging among Chinese-English bilinguals in Singapore with the use of discourse analysis as a research method. Major findings were: 1) some Chinese-English bilinguals were more efficient in English than others; 2) Singapore's localized and multilingual use of English have resulted in Colloquial Singapore English or Singlish; 3) influencing factors of translanguaging shown in the clips include students’ inadequate training for learning English as a second language, teachers’ time constraints, and teachers’ limited resources to incorporate support strategies for students, which were restricted by schools. Nonetheless, the contribution of this study is to explore the nature of translanguaging of Chinese-English Bilinguals, especially in the Singapore context, which will provide further implications for Singaporean English discourse studies.

The article discusses Singapore’s experience in the formation and development of human capital and social-labor relations. Singapore's successful implementation of policies in the areas of education, health care and the development of social and industrial relations was studied. Among the four major ‘economic tigers’ of East Asia, Singapore is the undisputed leader, as evidenced by key economic indices and ratings. Singapore has steadily improved its economic performance thanks to Lee Kuan Yew’s forward-looking policies and rigorous implementation, and anticipating challenges on many fronts. The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan has identified six key areas of cooperation with Singapore in the near future, which are outlined in the article. There are great prospects for cooperation in the field of education, the development of information and telecommunications technologies, the financial and banking sectors, partnership in the areas of ‘smart nation’ and ‘digital government’ in the field of ‘smart cities,’ digital public services, fintech and artificial intelligence. In this way, Singapore has shown that investment in human capital can pay big dividends, and that nothing is impossible when it comes to technological breakthroughs in the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Full textAbstract:
Singlish, Singapore’s brand of colloquial English, is accepted by some as an essential marker of Singaporean identity but deplored by others as a variety of English that puts Singapore and Singaporeans at a disadvantage because of its lack of international intelligibility. For this reason, it has been argued that Singaporeans cannot afford to maintain Singlish as a viable linguistic resource. A campaign known as the “Speak Good English Movement” was established in 2000 to counter the ill effects of Singlish through the promotion of Standard English. This paper addresses the Singlish-Standard (Singaporean) English debate in terms of discourse resources and the politics of language planning in Singapore. It may be true that Singlish is not the most internationally intelligible of Englishes, but what is more interesting is the considerable disparity between the official concern over international intelligibility and the reality of life in Singapore, especially for the Singlish speaker. Such a disparity suggests differing notions of what constitutes an important linguistic resource for the nation as a whole and for specific speech communities. On another level, it provides insights into the politics of language management in Singapore. The Singlish-Standard English debate also provides clear evidence of struggles over the determination of the choice of a preferred variety of English and the control over linguistic resources. Through an examination of media reports, official statements, and letters to local newspapers, the author considers the implications of this debate for Singaporeans (especially Singlish speakers) and their participation within the society. In the process, the author also examines the power relations that are intertwined in this debate for determining the ideal Singaporean society.

Sea level rise due to climate change is predicted to be higher in the Tropics. As a low-lying, highly urbanised island near the equator, Singapore is taking an active response to this problem, including through large land reclamation projects. Incorporating both environmental and aesthetic elements, these projects also serve to bolster Singapore’s reputation as a shining example of a global city, a leading arts centre in Southeast Asia, and an economic hub to the world. This paper draws attention to urban development through an ethnographic reading of Yeo Siew Hua’s film A Land Imagined. A Singaporean tropical-noir mystery thriller, the film follows the rhizomatic path of a police investigator and his partner as they attempt to solve the disappearance of two foreign labourers. Interwoven within the film is a critique of Singapore’s treatment of migrant workers as it constructs the imaginary of the ‘Singapore Dream’.

Abstract: Since China unveiled the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in 2013, few Southeast Asian countries have responded as potently as Singapore. Singapore's distinctive approach toward China is marked by carving out institutional niches within the broad blueprint of the BRI. This strategy is largely in line with the city-state's longstanding foreign policy tradition of making itself useful and relevant from the perspective of major powers. After elaborating on the historical evolution of Sino-Singaporean economic cooperation, I focus on three prominent manifestations of Singapore's institutional diplomacy toward the BRI and Chinese capital more generally, i.e., the establishment of "Infrastructure Asia", forging institutionalized legal partnership deputed to resolve disputes arising from BRI projects, and building a structured management approach to advance connectivity projects in Chongqing. Since Singapore opts for a soft and forward engagement strategy, the BRI has not caused organized local opposition.

PurposeThis study explored how the Singaporean government responded to the Covid-19 pandemic crisis from early January 2020 to the end of May of the same year. It evaluated the capability of Singapore's leadership management in a crisis during the peak and ravaging period of the Covid-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe study utilised a systematic design analysis approach, analysing Singaporean cases on the Covid-19 crisis using a systematic and narrative approach to underscore the country's response to the pandemic attack from January 2020 to May 2020.FindingsAgainst the backdrop of Singapore's peculiar political system of government dominated by the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) and culture of bureaucracy, the government has increasingly executed several control measures, including strict travel bans, contact tracing, the circuit breaker–lockdown, mask-wearing, social distancing orders as well as financial support to businesses and employees from top to the bottom in the country. However, the treatment and health issues of the migrant workers in the dormitories continue to be the major concern among academics and scholars. At the same time, policy inadequacies truncate the excellent measure of Singapore's response to Covid-19. The case point review concluded that the mortality rate in Singapore remains low compared to other nations of the world. Singapore's case points unveil fundamental learning that an excellent leadership-driven harmonised strategic model is essential for crisis management in any society. The finding of the analysis demonstrated that Singapore adopted a contingency and value-based leadership model to advance good governance and tackle the spread of the deadly coronavirus in its country.Originality/valueThe study has demonstrated a profound analysis that has not been conducted hitherto. Investigation of the Singapore case point is not a popular analysis among Nigerian scholars. Therefore, from Nigeria's perspective, the study has showcased the good and the wrong sides of a coin in Singapore's leadership and power dynamic in crisis management.

This article analyzes the key directions of Singapore's educational policy from primary to university education. It presents the peculiarities of preparing and nurturing the country's intellectual elite. The article highlights the models of education in Singapore at various stages of the educational journey and their role in shaping a new competitive generation. The main features of the current system are described, including an educational system offering various types of schools and programs, a curriculum that promotes individual and interdisciplinary learning, and a shift in the role of teachers from mere knowledge and information transmitters to mentors who facilitate student learning through creative and student-centered activities. The main criteria for the success of the Singaporean education system are outlined, including high educational standards, support for students at all levels of education, the preparation of professional experts, and meritocracy. It is emphasized that pedagogical education in Singapore is considered an essential component of national policy and an investment in the future. The research identifies the primary goals of Singapore's educational policy, including raising the nation's education level, creating a conducive environment for the development of talented students, and supporting scientific research and innovation. The research methodology was based on the collection of information, analysis of official documents, statistical data and observations in the field of education in Singapore, for a detailed consideration of the features of the country's education system. Methods of generalization, induction and deduction, abstraction, search and comparison were used. The results of the study confirm the success of the Singaporean education system in achieving high standards of education and training qualified professionals. The system actively contributes to the development of the intellectual elite and provides support for gifted students. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Singaporean education system serves as an example of an effective model of education and upbringing that contributes to the formation of a competitive generation and the development of the country. In summary, the research underscores the importance of maintaining high educational standards, the need for comprehensive educational reforms, and innovation in education to achieve success in the modern world.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The liberal international order (LIO) is undergoing significant challenges, and this has given rise to debates about its purported decline. In this context, most studies of the LIO focus on major powers with little attention paid to small states’ conceptualizations of the LIO despite its ubiquity in international life. Focusing on the Singaporean case as a small state, it asks the question: how does Singapore conceptualize the LIO and what are the effects of this conceptualization? Through a mixed-method thematic analysis of 192 parliamentary replies, media interviews and United Nations speeches by Singaporean officials between 2000 to 2022, I find Singapore accepting and defending the existing international order in two main ways: demonstrating respect for international law and the UN Charter, and supporting economic liberalism. Meanwhile, Singapore is contesting the universality of liberal democracy as it sees such discourse as a rebuke to its single-party dominant governance model. This perception of the LIO, in turn, informs Singapore's order-maintaining, order-modifying and order-contesting practices: it seeks to not only protect, but also to modify the LIO—through institutional and legal initiatives—to make it more equitable and open, giving us a glimpse into an instance of a small state's agency in relation to the LIO.

Full textAbstract:
Bilingual policy in Singapore has been characterized by dynamic government interventions since the nation’s independence in 1965. The elevation of English to the medium of instruction in education has inevitably come into conflict with Chinese, the lingua franca of Singapore’s dominant ethnic group. Drawing upon a theoretical perspective of prestige language planning, we show that the Chinese language has gradually lost prestige in Singaporean society in general, and in particular it has lost ground to English in terms of linguistic capital. A succinct re-examination of Singapore’s language-in-education planning shows that education alone cannot arrest the declining status of the Chinese language, neither does any image-fostering. The study highlights the importance of prestige promotion for the future success of Chinese language maintenance. The rapid rise of China provides an enabling environment for prestige manipulation. However, the socio-political goals of the Singaporean bilingual policy restrain the government’s willingness to support the unrestricted growth of Mandarin in the official discourse. While it is not possible in this paper to provide solutions or to suggest specific directions for solving this problem, it is our hope that the analysis of the complex interplay of the official discourse on language issues and the surrounding socio-political variables can shed some fresh light on understanding the intricacies and difficulties of a bilingual policy in a multicultural society.

Full textAbstract:
In 1995 two novels by Singaporean writers were published. Ming Cher’s Spider Boys, a first novel, was published by Penguin in New Zealand, while Rex Shelley’s Island in the Centre was published in Singapore by the regional publisher, Times Books. The marketing of both implied that they were authentic voices of Singapore. The varieties of English used and represented in the two novels are compared to the varieties of English attested in sociolinguistic studies of Singapore. Shelley’s novel represents Singapore English in a way that allows a readership familiar with Singapore to relate the characters to their sociolinguistic setting, and it has a Singaporean readership as its major target. Cher’s novel has a non-Singaporean readership as its primary target and is written throughout in a variety of English that results from Cher’s experiences as a learner of English, mediated by editors. The novels are used to illustrate concepts of authenticity in representation of language and in marketing strategies.

Background: Advanced clinical practice in UK healthcare has matured over recent years. The field now promotes multi-professional working and flexibility in patient care, which are significant factors of the modern healthcare workforce, due to the ongoing shortage of clinicians nationwide. In radiation oncology, the advanced practitioner radiographer role has been pivotal. Observing a rising necessity for similar roles in Singapore, officials from the National University Health System, Singapore, conducted a scientific visit to the UK to explore the implementation of UK advanced practice radiation therapist roles. Aims: The objective of the trip was to explore and learn about the infrastructure of the advanced practitioner radiographer role in the UK, with a view to establish similar positions in Singapore and improve service delivery within its healthcare system. Methods: During the scientific visit, Singaporean experts engaged in collaborative discussions with UK expert practitioners. These interactions centred on legislative frameworks, their applications and the educational aspects associated with the advanced practitioner radiographer role. The specialists visited various hospitals and a university to gain deeper insights. Following the visit, a survey was conducted among the Singaporean experts to gather comprehensive feedback regarding the visit. Findings: Active participation in the visit led to the researchers gaining a nuanced understanding of the UK's advanced practitioner radiographer role, and whether an equivalent advanced practice radiation therapist framework could be feasibly implemented in Singapore. The insights garnered will be instrumental for strategic planning, addressing service gaps and fostering advancements in Singapore's healthcare system. Conclusion: Adaptive governance of advanced practice is essential. Learning from the UK's intricate models can guide robust policy formulation and professional role development in Singapore. This can help to facilitate the national establishment of advanced practice radiation therapist roles, supported by suitable education and accreditation structures.

Singapore is working hard to become an economic and cultural information center in Southeast Asia and even the world. The Singaporean government has different controls on the opening up of the country and the freedom of speech of the people. On the one hand, they hope that the state can provide more social space and political resources to express democracy and attract investment from foreign companies. On the other hand, it limits the freedom of speech of the people and foreign media. The impact of such a contradictory regulatory system on the Singapore media system and its impact on national development is worth exploring. This article will also focus on how Singapore’s distinctive media systems face the challenges of globalization.

This paper examines Singapore's fiscal position and its unique way of financing targeted welfare programs. We examine how reserves are accumulated through fiscal discipline during times of phenomenal economic growth in Singapore and when Singapore was enjoying demographic dividend. The existence of the large accumulated reserves has resulted in particular features of the Singapore's budgetary process, such as fiscal rules, which govern the utilization of revenues from the reserves. Innovative budget implementation, such as Block Budgeting, has helped Singapore to ensure fiscal sustainability. The accumulation of reserves throughout its economic history has afforded Singapore a unique way to fund social protection through special transfers and funds, without having to raise taxes.

Full textAbstract:
The Singapore Breast Screening Project (1993-1996) showed that mammographic screening in Singaporean women shifts the size and stage of screen-detected breast cancers downwards and markedly increases the rate of detection of ductal carcinoma in situ, with acceptable recall, needle biopsy and interval cancer rates. Breast cancer is the leading cause of death in Singaporean women. Singapore has one of the highest age-adjusted breast cancer incidences in Asia. Although this is much lower than in the West, for women aged 45-49 years, the breast cancer incidence in Singapore is the same as for women in Australia, Canada or the United States. The latest Singapore Cancer Registry data shows that the age of peak incidence of breast cancer in Singaporean women has risen from 45-49 years in the period 1993-1997 to 50-55 years in the period 1998-1999. This suggests that the age-specific incidence of breast cancer in Singaporean women is shifting more to a pattern usually seen in Western nations. These factors, together with reconfirmed evidence of mortality benefit from breast cancer screening trials, led the Singapore government to establish the first population-based mammographic breast screening programme in Asia, the Singapore National Breast Screening Programme (BreastScreen Singapore). It uses a distributed model of mammography service, with centralised reading and assessment, co-ordinated by the Singapore Health Promotion Board. It is unique in that women co-pay at each step of the screening and assessment process. The programme, launched in January 2002, has adopted international standards of breast screening practice and breast cancer detection. To date, the initial targets for the first year have been met. Several key policies and issues over the programme’s implementation are presented.

Singapore is well-positioned as a global hub for logistics and supply chain management. Singapore’s modern logistics industry has five main characteristics: high efficiency, robust technology, strong professionalism, high service concentration and strength. Singapore is a foreign trade-driven economic model. With the prosperity of cross-border trade, companies in the logistics industry in Singapore seek diversification and expansion of supply chain technology and logistics finance. This paper mainly analyses the advantages of Singapore’s development of the logistics industry and the promotion effect of Singapore’s growth in the financial field on logistics industry financing. Factors such as the Internet of Things, blockchain, intelligent management, talent cultivation and policy support are enormous drivers for developing logistics financing in Singapore. Among them, the most representative and promising is the blockchain platform, which provides technical support for the Internet of everything, improves the security of multi-agent cooperation, and expands the scope of credit transmission. Although there are still some risks in developing logistics financing in Singapore, as a potent combination of the financial and logistics industries, logistics financing has a bright prospect.

Introduction: Singapore is one of the countries with the lowest mortality rate and the best handling of COVID-19. Singapore can be an example for Indonesia on COVID 19 pandemic handling.Methods: The method used is a literature review from google platform with these keywords: “Singapore Health Policy in COVID-19, Indonesian Health Policy in COVID-19, Singapore's success in suppressing COVID-19”. The analysis was done by comparing the policies taken from the two countries in dealing with COVID-19.Results: Singapore and Indonesia did indeed have very big differences in terms of government and in broad areas, it cannot be denied that Indonesia can have the same opportunity as Singapore in providing a good health disaster mitigation system for the community. Three factors influence Singapore's success in dealing with COVID-19: 1) having a responsive and efficient health disaster mitigation system, 2) government legitimacy which is determined by the capacity of the state. Singapore has a semi-centralized government with high legitimacy the experience of dealing with pandemics in the past, 3) Singapore's experience with SARS in the past makes Singaporeans understand very well the impact of the pandemic on their economic activities and social life.Conclusion: Several things can be emulated from Singapore in handling COVID-19 was the transparency, strong communication between community and the government, prioritizing the benefit and safety of civil society and building obedience and awareness of Covid 19 prevention.
