Abstract (sommario):

Singapore är ett fascinerande land. På bara några få decennier har landet gått från att vara en liten instabil stadsstat utan större naturresurser till att bli ett ekonomiskt världscentrum. Mur hur fungerar egentligen Singapores politiska styrelseskick? Är landet verkligen en demokrati eller har det i själva verket diktatoriska drag? Denna uppsats syftar till att steg för steg undersöka landets politiska situation för att slutligen landa i en definition om vad Singapore egentligen står politiskt. Dem styrande hävdar att dem levererar en effektiv och okorrumperad regering till medborgarna medan vissa oppositionspolitiker menar att regeringen styr med auktoritära medel. Hur kan man definiera den politiska situationen i Singapore idag och framför allt vilken regimtyp kan landet klassas som? Detta arbete är en fallstudie av teorikonsumerande art där olika fakta kommer att analyseras och sedan sammanfattas i en slutlig analys där jag skall fastställa regimtypen.

Abstract (sommario):

In Singapore the state defines the parameters of 'ethnic' identity on the basis of the ideology of multiracialism, in which any particular 'ethnic' identity is subsumed under national identity and permitted expression in cultural and economic, but not political, terms. Multiracialism's appeal for the state as well as for its citizens lies in its objective: social cohesion between and equality for the four officially recognized 'racial' groups. Nevertheless, from the viewpoint of the 'Indian' community, this thesis demonstrates how the multiple layers of meaning given to the doctrine and practice of multiracialism by various social actors and their interactions create tensions and contestations in reconciling 'ethnic' and national identity. Public expression of 'ethnic' politics is considered by the state as subversive towards the nation, although the state itself implements its ideology through a stringent regime of 'racial' management directed at every aspect of a Singaporean's social, cultural, economic and political life. The thesis addresses important issues involving 'racial' and 'ethnic' identity, modes of 'ethnic' interaction and nation building in the multiethnic and globalised context of Singapore in general and in 'Little India' in particular. This area, though theoretically democratic in nature, is embedded in state-civil society power relations, with the state setting the agenda for 'ethnic' maintenance and identity. My research interviews demonstrate the dominating and hegemonic power of the state, its paternalistic governance, and its wide network of social control mechanisms organizing 'ethnicity' in Singapore. The historical decision, made firstly by the British colonial administration and thereafter perpetuated by the nation state, to make 'race' the basis of all social classification has had far-reaching consequences. With the postcolonial state wishing to be the sole authority over 'ethnic' practices and discourse, Singaporeans' lives have been heavily conditioned by its impact, which I argue resembles to some extent the 'divide and rule' policy of the colonial regime. 'Race' as the structuring principle and accepted reality of Singapore society since colonial days is so entrenched that it has been essentialised and institutionalised by the state as well as by the people in contemporary Singapore. The terms 'race' and 'ethnicity' are used interchangeably and synonymously in daily usage, though "race" is preferred by political leaders, academics and the population at large. I will argue that with 'race' as the reference point ethnic communities that migrated from China, India and other places became socially, culturally and economically segregated and polarised from colonial days to such an extent that extensive stereotypes and prejudices have fed on their lives. Such perspectives have led to differing constructions of national identity discourses presented by the nation state based on its objectives of 'racial' integration, economic development and national identity. By way of interview and survey material I demonstrate that 'race', ethnicity and national identity as defined and managed by the state have not only been inextricably linked in the everyday lives of Singaporeans but more importantly they have resulted in a resurgence of ethnic consciousness in the last three decades or so, thereby undermining the state's attempts at national identity. My findings are based on responses by Singaporean Indians to various social engineering policies employed by the state as strategies for integrating the diverse ethnic groups and anchored on the ideologies of multiracialism, multiculturalism, multilingualism, multireligiosity and meritocracy. My respondents perceive that these policies are not proactive in fostering 'racial' integration because of growing social and economic inequalities brought about by the collision of ethnic and national identities with 'race'. They feel that the government has strayed from its declared goal of 'multiracialism', emphasized all along as critical to the strength, stability and growth of the nation. Such a situation, they argue, does not augur well for a common national identity that remains elusive in the eyes and minds of Singaporeans.

Abstract (sommario):

Världen står idag inför stora problem gällande energiförsörjning och miljöpåverkan. Något måste göras för att stoppa den negativa utveckling som sker. Ett sätt att göra detta är att göra energiproduktionen mer hållbar genom att skifta från en hög användning av fossila bränslen till att i större utsträckning använda förnybara energikällor. En sådan är solenergi, och det är just detta energislag, i synnerhet användningen av solenergi för produktion av varmvatten, som presenteras i den här rapporten. Ett land som borde ha bra förutsättningar för utvinning av just solenergi är Singapore. Landet har en mycket begränsad landyta och nästintill inga naturresurser. På grund av detta står importerad naturgas för den största delen av landets energiförsörjning. I rapporten har ett case skapats, för att undersöka prestandan och lönsamheten för ett solvärmesystem installerat i en villa i Singapore. För att genomföra detta har litteratur gällande solen, solvärmesystem och landet Singapore granskats. Vidare har tekniska samband inom värmeteori sammanställts för att kunna genomföra de beräkningar som lett fram till resultatet. Resultatet av rapporten är att en installation av ett solfångarsystem på en villa i Singapore är möjlig att implementera och anses lönsam. Andra typer av installationer har undersökts mer kvalitativt och anses också ha en stor potential i Singapore. I förlängningen skulle Singapores behov av importerad energi minska och landets miljöpåverkan reduceras.
The world faces big issues regarding its energy supply and its impact on the environment. Something has to be done in order to stop this. One way to do that is to make energy generation more sustainable by shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Solar energy is one of them, and this report covers hot water produced from it. A country that should have good conditions to harvest solar power is Singapore. The country has a very limited land area and almost no natural resources. Because of this, most of its energy is supplied by imported natural gas. In this report, a case has been created to evaluate the performance and profitability of a hot water solar system in a villa in Singapore. In order to do this, literature about the sun, solar heating systems and Singapore has been looked into. Further, thermodynamical correlations have been studied and used in calculations to draw conclusions. The result of this report is that an installation of a solar water heating system in a villa in Singapore is feasible and profitable. Other applications of solar thermal power have been evaluated qualitatively and the conclusion is that these also have big potential in Singapore. Ultimately, this could lead Singapore to be less relying on imported energy and also reduce its impact on the environment.

Abstract (sommario):

In this study l investigate the Singaporean characteristics of broadcast media internationalisation. I ask the question "e Does Internationalisation lead to homogenisation and commercialisation of the television culture in Singapore or does it give way to more diversity, thus stimulating cultural differentiation?"e . I articulate the constraints and/or tensions of supranational regulation, foreign policy, regional and intraregional alliances upon communication and the cultural and social effects as they impact on and respond to production, programming, scheduling and output in Singapore. I explain how Singaporean Television media culture takes part in the processes of globalisation, and how it challenges existing cultures and creates new and alternative symbolic and cultural communities, within the context of regional communication. In this thesis 1 conclude that whilst Singapore definitely does not have equity in information, wealth or resource flows it is attempting to liberalise. To do so, the government recognises that serious inadequacies and imbalances must be addressed and that the path to greater political and economic growth is through an actively informed public. Despite regulatory restrictions on data flow and technical and service ownership, Singapore is encouraging regional alliances, depoliticising cultural differences and concentrating on economic imperatives to build mutual knowledge and understanding, multilateral agreements, collective ownership, mutual exchange and cooperative dissemination.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis examines the formation, development, role and behaviour of the Singapore National Employers' Federation (SNEF). Its focus is primarily the field of labour management. It addresses key issues in the role of the SNEF from its formation in 1980 to 2004, in the institutional context of Singapore's politics, economic development and industrial relations. This longitudinal study makes a substantial original contribution to understanding Singapore's leading national employers' association, and is a pioneering study of a national employers' association in East Asia. The thesis is a qualitative case-study, using fieldwork interviews, primary documents and the secondary literature as data sources. Through the critical event method, the work focuses analysis on key junctures for the SNEF's development and change during the period examined. In addition, the author employs the Sheldon and Thornthwaite (1999) model of employers' association strategy in framing the analysis of the thesis' central questions, and in examining SNEF's strategic decisions in response to changes in its external environment. By analysing how the SNEF's external roles and internal relations changed during each period, the research draws attention to the dynamic nature of this employers' association in the rapidly changing conditions marking Singapore's development. Given the central role of the People's Action Party (PAP) in Singaporean society, a central theme of this thesis is how the SNEF balances political pressures from Singapore's government-dominated corporatist system, with the needs of its diversified membership. The narrative core of the thesis identifies five distinct periods of Singaporean industrial relations - through the lens of the SNEF - reflecting larger economic developments through which the government guided the economy and society. The thesis finds that, while the SNEF is an independent and apolitical organisation, it is nevertheless deeply embedded in the Singaporean variant of corporatism. Accordingly, the SNEF's role and behaviour are inherently guided by the PAP's ideology of pragmatism and, in Singapore, sectoral interests deferred to and institutionally served national interests.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis investigates the way in which an official multicultural identity has been constructed in Singapore at the expense of the cultural specificity that exists within the multiculturalism framework. The construction of the multicultural identity in Singapore has been engineered socially through heritage policies, heritage preservation projects and the media. However, the official multicultural policy in itself is problematic because of the existence of the four independent parent cultures, so that a Singaporean is constantly reminded of a cultural identity which is determined by race, history, language and class. This is further complicated by a dominant Chinese population so that the cultural identity of Singapore is fundamentally Chinese, while the Malay, Indian and Eurasian cultures are dragged along in its tail. I will argue that the Singapore government has carefully constructed a multicultural identity without addressing the underpinning historical and racial factors. The purpose of the study is an investigation of the tension between the multiculturalism and cultural specificity which will help to reveal my claim that there is predominantly a Chinese cultural identity in Singapore and the created notion of a multicultural identity is an illusion. The multicultural identity in Singapore is founded on a set of neo-Confucian principles which are reproduced in the national core values defined by the government in the White Paper in 1991. These neo-Confucian values are established on principles of frugality and the emphasis on the family. Although these values are not entirely foreign to the Malay and Indian cultures, their perceptions on how the family operates may be different based on the Islam, Hindu or even Christian teachings. Although the government maintains that Confucian teaching is regarded as philosophical in character rather than reflecting Chinese teachings, it is nevertheless a topic which begs investigation within the multicultural and multi religious context of Singapore. It appears that multiculturalism in Singapore does not equally promote four cultures but is inclined towards the Chinese culture and the minor cultures have come to identify with the cultural framework that the Singapore government has constructed. I will investigate this construction by analysing the speeches of well-known Singapore politicians like Lee Kuan Yew, Goh Chok Tong and George Yeo and the role of the media in reporting multiculturalism in Singapore. The relationship between multiculturalism and the Singapore media will be examined through the methodology devised by Birch (1993). His theoretical framework deals specifically with the analysis of the Singapore media and is shown to be crucial to the understanding of cultural and political practices in Singapore. By applying Birch’s theory, I will show how multiculturalism is constructed by the Singapore government through the media. The study of Sentosa, a heritage tourism site in Singapore, will be explored to establish the relationships between multiculturalism, tourism and conservation in Singapore. This will be done following the framework devised Boniface and Fowler (1993) on the phenomena of 'heritage' and 'tourism', adapting it to multiculturalism in Singapore. Their theoretical framework for the study of culture deals specifically with heritage in the United Kingdom and Europe, but I will argue the methodology devised is appropriate for the study of culture in Singapore because the issues confronting each nation are similar. The key elements to be investigated are the relationship between culture and tourism, architectural heritage in the tourism context, and the construction of multiculturalism through the media. By looking at the various (multi)cultural, social and economic underpinnings of multiculturalism, I will show in my thesis that the construction of multiculturalism in Singapore is to negotiate a mechanism of control by the government.

Abstract (sommario):

Singapore is a country built entirely by migrants. The topic of migration thus forms a very important part of the history of Singapore, in which much research has been done. However, one aspect of the modern migration history of Singapore has not been wellstudied, and that is illegal immigration. Since centuries ago, people have been smuggled on the very waterways that modern Singapore owes its prosperity to. Today, people are still entering and exiting the country clandestinely using the same waterways. However, as technology develops, the methods by which these people use to enter Singapore clandestinely are constantly changing. Regardless of the change in methods, such clandestine migration often involves great danger and hardship for those who dare to embark on the journey, just as the way it was in the past. This is even more so as Singapore turns from a colony to an independent country, and as the independent government increasingly exercises more control on the type of immigrants it allows into its borders to help take the country to greater heights in terms of prosperity. Immigration policies and laws thus become fine-tuned and people who are deemed ??undesirable?? are filtered out. The strict laws did not, however, deter some people from entering the country in search of a good job and a better life. As Singapore gears itself to receive more legal migrants, it must also be prepared to take measures against illegal immigrants. Illegal immigration is therefore a continuous battle between the authorities and the illegal migrants. Through the use of official and unofficial documents and public resources, some of which are not easily obtainable, this thesis traces the development of illegal immigration from a historical context and explores the life of the illegal migrants in Singapore so as to fill in the gaps on an under-studied topic, as well as the change in mindsets migrants-turned-citizens have towards new migrants, in an attempt to use a historical approach to explain the issue of the social phenomenon of illegal migration to Singapore.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis is devoted towards unpacking how community policing has been managed as a state discourse by the Singapore Police Force. Firstly, community policing is located within the historical context of a modernising Singapore. This begins with the need for crime prevention that was disseminated through decentralised neighbourhood police posts in the 1980s. With economic restructuring in the 1990s, community policing was rescaled to meet the changing demography of the population. Following an enhanced deployment of counter-terrorism discourse in the wake of 9/11, community policing was re-invented as part of a (re)bordering strategy to safeguard territorial sovereignty and social cohesion. Secondly, the methodology of community policing is visualised through the changing frames of the state-produced docu-drama, Crime Watch. As a television programme that has consistently raked in high viewership numbers for 25 years, Crime Watch texts deserve their fair share of critical scrutiny to reveal the means of community engagement by the state police. Thirdly, the personal networks of Volunteer Special Constables are studied for the insights that they can reveal into the work of policing one’s community. Personal interviews with sixteen volunteers provide the empirical data for analysis. Volunteers have committed much time and effort into performing the work of volunteer police officers. Mediating the boundaries between the police and the public, these volunteers translate community policing into practice in complicated ways that have not been adequately documented. In summary this thesis makes three contributions to social geography: it traces the convoluted history of community policing as a state-authored discourse; it sketches the stereotypical plotlines of community policing as a tool for community engagement; and it uncovers the personal networks through which community/policing may be performed.

Singapore is one of the first in the ranking of the development of the transport system, and is also among the cities with the safest and most environmentally friendly transport systems. The entire transport system is well thought out, so in Singapore you are unlikely to ever get stuck in a traffic jam. We will start from maritime transport. Sea transport is a vital mode of carriage for Singapore's prosperity. This affects the rate of economical development of the country, which has used its strategic position in Asia to further expand the maritime manufacturing that supports world trade. Singapore's maritime industry is extremely fatefully to the national economy, contributing almost 7 percent of Singapore's GDP.
Сінгапур є одним з перших у рейтингу розвитку транспортної системи, а також є одним з міст з найбільш безпечними та екологічно чистими транспортними системами.

Морський транспорт - життєво важливий спосіб перевезення для процвітання Сінгапуру. Це впливає на темпи економічного розвитку країни, яка використала своє стратегічне становище в Азії для подальшого розширення морського виробництва, що підтримує світову торгівлю. Морська промисловість Сінгапуру надзвичайно доленосно впливає на національну економіку, складаючи майже 7 відсотків ВВП Сінгапуру.

Abstract (sommario):

This research provides novel insight into the field of aphasia in Singapore. The aims were to (a) investigate the current state of aphasia practice in Singapore including the use of functional outcome and remote assessments in practice (Part One) and, (b) investigate the validity of two assessment tools for use with Singaporeans with aphasia which would enable functional outcomes of aphasia to be captured (Part Two), and (c) examine remote assessment of aphasia in the Singapore context (Part Three). Part One, Chapter One provides an overview of aphasia assessment, while Chapter Two provides an overview of the methods used in the study. Chapter Three describes the current speech pathology practices in Singapore for aphasia. The findings of this study provided justification for the subsequent parts of the thesis. Part Two, Chapter Four, describes the validation of the Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life (SAQOL-39g) and its Mandarin adaptation, the SAQOL-CSg, in generic stroke patients. This study resulted in two separate papers, one examining the reliability and validity of the SAQOL-39g and SAQOL-CSg and the other examining sensitivity to change and responsiveness of the SAQOL-39g/SAQOL-CSg. Chapter Five describes the validation of the Assessment of Living with Aphasia (ALA) and its Mandarin adaptation, the ALA-C, in Singaporeans with chronic aphasia. Both the ALA and ALA-C demonstrated good reliability and validity. Part Three, Chapter Six describes the development of Access2Aphasia™, an iPad-based aphasia assessment application that enables the use of supported conversation techniques. Chapter Seven investigates the reliability of telehealth aphasia assessment using Access2Aphasia™. Online aphasia assessment was found to be comparable to face-to-face assessment. Part Four concludes with a summary of the main contributions of this thesis to aphasia assessment and management in Singapore, its limitations and suggestions for future research.

Thema dieser Dissertation ist die Entwicklung der Nachrichtenflüsse in Singapur zwischen 1965 und 2000 im Kontext der Diskusionen über die "Neue Weltinformationsordnung". Zwei der Leitfragen sind, wie sich die Nachrichtenflüsse in Singapur entwickelt haben und ob die Idee einer "Neuen Weltinformationsordnung" immer noch taugt, die Nachrichtenflüsse dort "ausgewogener und effizienter" zu machen. Die These ist, dass die Nachrichtenflüsse in Singapur in den vergangenen Dekaden zwar effizienter, aber nicht ausgewogener wurden. Die Dissertation schließt damit, dass es sich nach wie vor lohnt, über die Unausgewogenheit in den Nachrichtenflüssen dort zu diskutieren, wenngleich die Idee einer "Neuen Weltinformationsordnung" an sich unrealistisch und inzwischen veraltet ist.
The subject of this dissertation is the development of news flows in Singapore between 1965 and 2000 in context with the discussions regarding the "New World Information Order". Two of the main questions are how the news flows have developed in Singapore and whether the idea of a "New World Information Order" is still useful to make the news flows there "more just and more efficient". The thesis is that the news flows in Singapore have become more efficient, but not more just in the past several decades. The dissertation concludes that it is still worth discussing the imbalances in the news flows there, even though the idea of the "New World Information Order" itself is unrealistic and outdated now.

Abstract (sommario):

Singapore Math är ett undervisningssätt i matematik som bygger på hur matematikundervisningen sker i Singapore. Studien belyser hur några lärare i den svenska grundskolan upplever att införandet av Singapore Math har ändrat deras sätt att undervisa i matematik och hur de upplever att elevernas aktiva deltagande påverkas av modellen. De teoretiska utgångspunkter som studien bygger på är matematikämnet och dess läroplan i Singapore samt Lev Vygotskijs sociokulturella synsätt på lärande. I studien gjordes sju kvalitativa intervjuer med lärare i den svenska grundskolan och intervjumaterialet analyserades tematiskt. Resultaten visar att samtliga lärare ser problemlösning som en central del i sin undervisning med Singapore Math och att alla lärare upplever ett ökat aktivt deltagande hos eleverna efter införandet av modellen. Majoriteten av de intervjuade lärarna anser sig lägga ned mer, men inte mycket mer, tid på planeringsarbete efter införandet av modellen.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation explores performances in Singapore as indicators of divergent visions of the nation-state. To understand the ways in which the government and artists contested (or, in some cases, agreed to not contest) the cultural ground requires an examination of performance as a semiotic mode in public life, a genre in art, and an instrument of cultural politics. A study of performance alone cannot sufficiently reveal the subtleties of governmental and artistic agency. The government and artists have mobilized specific figures of speech from a repertoire developed over centuries.These tropes are analysed for their uses, their performative instrumentality, and their discursive power. Tropes and performances coalesce and disseminate prevailing national, regional,and global ideologies. This study examines the power of aesthetic forms, and the aesthetics of power. Competing notions of performance in Singapore led to a cultural crisis in 1993-94. That historical punctum and its ramifications constitutes the primary object of this research, and is presented as a significant indicator of the state of the Singapore state at that time.

Singapore faces a crossroads. Decades of top-down arts policies have given rise to a robust grassroots arts community, yet this cultural shift has also exposed tensions and contradictions. Indeed, Singapore’s ‘cultural turn’ has unleashed forces and tensions that may be uncontrollable, and may be shifting the City-State in new and uncharted directions. In the context of growing activism around the world, Singaporean ‘artivists’ seek alternative forms of place-making and creative expression, sometimes reifying, at other times challenging, the State and the status quo. Yet this artistic-activist community is far from being a united front. The State, likewise, is not a single, coherent entity, but is fluid and shifting, sometimes allied with, at other times opposed to, art-led activism. Space is a crucial lens in which to explore these tensions and contradictions. The findings of this thesis are summarised through a three-pronged taxonomy of cultural-activist spaces: indoor space, subdivided into theatres, galleries, cafés, and the spaces of the university; outdoor spaces, which range from State-designated spaces of activism to ‘pop up’ spaces of arts-led activism; and, finally, digital space, which spans social networks and the Singaporean ‘blogosphere’. Each spatial scale contains distinct possibilities and limitations on the effectiveness of, and the ability for, such activism to be transformative and influence policy shifts. These spaces are, of course, also often blurred. This thesis adds to the emerging conceptualisation about ‘cultural activism’, particularly in the context of the non-Western world, and thus broadens the ‘worlding’ of urban theory. Questions are raised about assumptions around concepts such as authoritarianism and the arts, which, in Singapore, are revealed to be complex and highly fluid. This thesis can also inform policy-makers in terms of practical application, as the decades of arts and culture policy in Singapore can now be understood to have produced a multitude of tangible, measureable results (some of which were intended, while others were not).

Abstract (sommario):

This study sought to gain some insights into the communication system in Singapore secondary schools, particularly the so-called 'neighbourhood schools', larger in number than the independent or the autonomous schools. The dearth of research on communication in Singapore schools makes it timely for this study to be undertaken, with electronic communication or e-mail, as a communication tool. This is probably the result of, among other factors, the implementation of the IT Masterplan in Education (Teo, 1997), and the concept of Thinking School, Learning Nation (TSLN, 1997), both national initiatives, which have shaped the communication process in schools, with attendant influences such as school organisation, communication climate and school culture (Refer to Table 7, p. 125). In this study, both quantitative and qualitative data were collected. 152 self-reporting questionnaires, (Appendix B), each with an introductory letter explaining the purpose and scope of the survey, were sent to teachers of three secondary schools. The principals consented to the administration of the questionnaire in their schools. Of these, 117 questionnaires were returned. However, two were incomplete, and thus, invalid. Findings were based on the responses in the remaining 115 questionnaires, which constituted 75.66% of the questionnaires sent out. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, SPSS, was used to generate the statistical tables, for frequency, correlations and, Analysis of Variance, ANOVA. The Cronbach alpha on the 185 items in the questionnaire was 0.97 and, for the standardized items, the reliability was 0.96. Qualitative data was gathered by means of person-to-person interviews, based on the Interview Schedule (Appendix C). Teachers' responses served as corroboration of the quantitative data gathered from the survey, and enhanced the research study on the communication climate in their schools. They also highlight how the national policy above has shaped, not only the culture, covered in the survey, but also the climate in which sharing and transfer of information take place, amidst a hierarchical organisational structure, with its authority vested mainly in the Principals and Vice-Principals. Grounded in this set-up is a highly work-oriented cultural ethos, envisioned with the ultimate 'value-addedness' in the performance of the pupils. Such is the communication climate and culture that information flows mainly downwards. Hence, message content would inherently be directives from school management - the Principals, Vice-Principals and the HODs to the teaching staff. Also highlighted was the use of the e-mail as a communication medium. While the younger teachers are computer-literate, the more senior experienced teachers voiced their concerns with IT-phobia, and see IT as a hindrance to communication. Organisational structure and IT-phobia are both issues to be managed for improvements to the communication process in Singapore schools.

Abstract (sommario):

This essay attempts to explain and justify the style and structure of the novel within the traditions of contemporary literary writing. It will discuss realist conventions and devices applied in the novel, such as plot and character, and examine their effectiveness, or limits, in telling a story. The writing of this novel was prompted by the relentless stream of political events that has flowed through the recent history of Singapore. Since the island's independence from British colonial rule in 1965, a small ruling elite embarked on a ferocious nation-building programme that has not always recognised its citizens as individuals, but rather more collectively as workers, managers, professionals, housewives and students: each group expected to perform a specific role in society. State apparatuses such as law enforcement, the civil service and the mass media are engineered to direct the conduct of citizens from cradle to grave. This instigated, and provided the background to, the writing of Plato's Illusion. An objective of this novel is to document as well as imaginatively capture life in Singapore under its prevailing authoritarian rule. The writing strategy adopted is to represent politics in terms of individual 'common' experience, for almost every aspect of the private citizen's life has been politicised in Singapore. Government intervention and manipulation are situated in the personal affairs of attending university, getting a job, finding a husband and having children. In other words, by portraying the process and effects of those interventions on the characters in the novel, the body politics will simultaneously take on a more concrete shape with a face and an attitude. This strategy, used in the development of plot and characters, would be a good representation of life in Singapore, if the effects of government policies and the personal psyche were thoroughly explored and articulated.

Abstract (sommario):

It is commonly assumed that the development of tourist attractions, the formulation of tourism policies and the marketing of destination areas are dictated by the needs and interests of foreign visitors. What is ignored is the role that local factors and agencies bring to bear upon the process. This thesis is devoted to exploring the ways that local and non-local factors are responsible for shaping the form and function of tourism development. Drawing upon the case of Singapore, the thesis examines the country's heritage tourism phenomena as the outcome of 'local' and 'global' forces. This argument is elaborated along four lines of enquiry. They include a study of government policies on tourism, a look at entrepreneurs involved in heritage projects, an exploration of marketing and promotional strategies, and the examination of a particular urban landscape the Little India Historic District. To conceptualize the global-local nexus, the thesis adopts two bodies of theory. They are the 'locality concept' advanced by industrial geographers in the 1980s and writings on 'globalism-localism' by cultural/economic geographers in the 1990s. Both theoretical discussions reinforce the argument that place uniqueness is not necessarily sacrificed as a result of globalization. They also provide a way of viewing tourism geographies as the product of global and local forces.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation examines the lived experiences of four young Malay/Muslim males in Singapore. Through a critical sociolinguistic approach, the dissertation draws on individual and group observations, interactions and interviews to elicit perspectives on postnationalistic constructions of identity and language in a localised setting. The analysis shows how the negotiation of identities is tied closely to the Malay/Muslim male youths’ experiences growing up, against a backdrop of inherited social structuration and ethnolinguistic marginality, within the rigid management of ethnicity by the State and, its intrusions into the affairs of Islam. The dissertation argues that the relationship between language and ethnicity is not entirely about agency (i.e. what a person chooses to be). Instead, it is about markets within which agency and habitus work themselves out in the contexts of specific histories and politics. The negotiation of the Malay/Muslim identity in dominant discourses is further implicated by the ideological construction of homogeneity and linguistic difference, and has essentialised the Malay/Muslim habitus. In many cases, this has resulted in the normalisation of marginality, exclusion and symbolic domination by those in the market. The examples of constrained agency, of structural marginalisation and of investments in the Malay/Muslim identity that support this research shed some critical light on the complicated political economy of language and identity in the Malay/Muslim market.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

The introduction of career guidance programmes in Singapore schools had tended to predominantly focus on secondary pupils. The lack of proactive career guidance programmes for the primary school had been due to the misguided belief that children in the primary school still have an extremely long way to go before they enter the workforce, and that their career development had not yet begun. Studies have shown that children have a natural tendency to form firm impressions of occupations early in life. This has resulted in their adopting certain occupations and discarding others before they have fully explored and understood the variety of occupations available. The need for young primary school children - as future entrants to the workforce -- to keep their occupational options open is paramount given the ever-changing landscape of the future work world.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis is an investigation into the socio-economic effects of English literacy among the Chinese of Singapore between 1945 and 2000. Through the use of oral history, statistical evidence, and existing secondary literature on the conditions of everyday life in Singapore, it explores how English literacy as a life chance has played a key role in shaping the class structures that exist among the Chinese in Singapore today. Adopting a 'perspective from below', this study provides a historical account that surveys the experiences of everyday life in Singapore through the stories of everyday life. It seeks to present an account that more accurately reflects the nation's nuanced past through defining eras in Singapore's post-war history 'Singapore Stories' in the plural, as opposed to the singular. Viewing the impact of English literacy through the prism of Max Weber's concept of life chances allows an examination of the opportunities in the lives of the interviewees cited within by distinguishing between negotiated and corralled life chances. The overarching argument made by this study is that in the later stages of Singapore's postwar history and development, English literacy was a critical factor that allowed individuals to negotiate key opportunities in life, thus increasing the likelihood of socioeconomic mobility. For those without English literacy, the range of possibilities in life became increasingly restricted, corralling individuals into a less affluent economic state. While acknowledging the significance of structural forces, and in particular the shaping influence of industrialisation, economic policy, and social engineering, this study also demonstrates how regarding the Singapore Chinese as possessing a variety of distinguishing social and economic characteristics, all of which serve to segment the community as an ethnic group, adds a new and critical dimension to our academic understanding of the nation's social past and present. By locating areas of resistance and the development of life strategies by an individual or household, this thesis illustrates how language, literacy, and class operated within the reality of undefined and multilayered historical spaces among the Chinese of Singapore.

Abstract (sommario):

For the last several years, Americans have fallen behind in the area of mathematics when compared to their peers in industrialized countries around the world. Singapore, on the other hand, was at the top of the world rankings in mathematics in the last four Trends in International Math and Science Study (TIMSS) assessments taken by fourth and eighth graders every four years. This project focused on the impact of the Singapore Math program on two cohorts of students by utilizing their Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) scores from the mathematics subtest. The first cohort, A, was comprised of students who were in third, fourth, and fifth grade during the first years of the implementation of the Singapore Math program in 2007, 2008, 2009, and compared with students in Cohort B who were exposed to the math program since first grade, as intended by the publisher. The students of Cohort B were in third, fourth, and fifth grade in 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. Data were also analyzed to see if the program had a correlation with a decrease in gender, ethnic, or socioeconomic (SES) achievement gaps when compared to Cohort B. Three tests were given in order to triangulate the results of the MAP test: difference in means by way of a z-test for a difference in means, a comparison of students scoring proficient and advanced through the utilization of a z-test for difference in proportions, and an F-test for difference in variance in MAP scores.

Results of the study yielded mixed results. While there was not a significant statistical difference in achievement between Cohort A and B in third, fourth, or fifth grade, there was evidence to support that the subgroups that were included in the study (female students, Black students, and students with Free and Reduced Lunch status) performed commensurately with their peers in Cohort B.

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this research was to determine what type of correlations existed between student and parent attitudes towards using smartphones in school and the resulting impact on achievement, specifically for low-achieving students. Participants in the study were third-grade students and their parents from a primary school in Singapore. The study employed a quantitative analysis to understand the correlations among the different participant groups. The instruments used were Likert-based surveys, along with scores from mid-year and end-of-year achievement exams in English and science. The three most relevant major findings showed that (a) low-achieving students show a positive attitude toward completing science activities, which correlates with an increase in science achievement; (b) the parents of low-achieving students appear to provide their children with autonomy in using their smartphones, which correlates with an increase in science achievement; and (c) having a smartphone and using the smartphone to complete school work is important to low-achieving students and their parents.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation is a comprehensive description of the structure of the prosody of Singapore English. Using the Prosodic Hierarchy as a framework, each layer of the structure of Singapore English is described in detail. The smallest level described in this dissertation is the syllable, the domain in which the majority of segmental processes occur in Singapore English. The second level is the prosodic word domain, where there is a high tone anchored to the final syllable and a low tone anchored to the left edge, and these tones are shown in this dissertation to be recursive. These tones are independent of stress, which is argued to not exist in Singapore English. The third level is the intonational phrase, where the final syllable carries the boundary tone of the entire intonational phrase, affecting the tones of final particles. There is also a phrase-initial boost on the first prosodic word of the intonational phrase. Markedly absent is any intermediate phrase or domain between the word and intonational phrase, which is argued to not exist in this dissertation. The dissertation ends with a look at the possible origins of the prosody of Singapore English and a consideration of the prosodic systems which may have influenced its development.

Abstract (sommario):

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2002.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 76-77).
This empirical study investigates the factors that explain the variation in private residential land value in Singapore. In doing so, it determines the impact that land use zoning and plot ratio allowable have on residential land value. Previous empirical studies in the US and UK have found plot characteristics, accessibility and zoning variables to be important determinants of land value. However, these factors need to be examined within the specific economic, social and political context of different cities. In this study, these variables are employed to investigate whether the traditional determinants have similar significant impacts on the variation in residential land value in the dense and highly regulated Singapore land market. The data used consist of all residential land transactions from the government land sales program between years 1993 to 2001. Two land use types -- landed and nonlanded -- are separately analyzed because of the difference in their density and mean land price per square meter. The study establishes the premium or discount in land price per square meter that developers would factor into a tender bid for each type of housing form allowed. Empirical evidence is provided that confirms the importance of location and accessibility in determining residential land value in Singapore. The study also confirms the presence of plattage (negative relationship between parcel size and price per unit area) in non-landed housing sites. Density or plot ratio is also a primary driver of residential land value and an important tool in land use policies to encourage capital land substitution.
