`The thesis presented here will not only change the way in which we understand contemporary Singaporean society and the relationship between the state and its citizens, but will also provoke a debate about the social costs of economic development in other parts of the world, and the future security of the island republic - increasingly a Chinese enclave in a Malay sea - in the twenty-first century.' - Peter Carey, Trinity College, Oxford This study examines the development of Singapore's complex system of social regulation in relation to the phases of its economic strategy and political transition. It focuses on the way social control works through public housing and welfare, education, parliamentary politics and the law. It draws out the implications of such comprehensive control for political conflict. Popular explanations for Singapore's success and its status as a model for other developing countries are brought into question.

Singapore is one of the most successful Country in the world today. This manuscript throws light on the various phases of evolution of Singapore as a nation. Unlike most of the Asian and African Countries, Singapore started its development phase way back in early twentieth century with the support of British. During the period 1946-65, Singapore emerged as a successful trading, financial, and transport centre of British Southeast Asia. The period 1965-72 of Singapore history was witnessed by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) led export-oriented industrialization. The choice of Singapore as a settlement of British was more the outcome of circumstance rather than that of design, whereas; Singapore becoming part of the British colony of the Straits Settlements in 1867 was more the outcome of design than of circumstance. Singapore's economy benefitted tremendously from the massive booms in Tin and Rubber that came successively following the spice trade boom. This sustained fortune came from being located within a region and a northern hinterland where such commodities were highly valued in the global economy. This region was also undergoing, major technological changes brought along with the advent of the Industrial Revolution.From being a minority when Singapore was founded as a British settlement in 1819, the Chinese became the majority within a few decades as traders came in from the rest of South East Asia where the Chinese had already settled for many years. The Japanese occupation of 1942-45 was one of the factor in the administrative separation of Singapore from 1946 onwards from the peninsula. World War II was the turning point for Singapore. After its end in 1945, Singapore became separate from the mainland, and from then, it obtained an identity for itself. The birth of Singapore as a nation can be said to date from 1945, although at that time it was still a colony of Great Britain.Singapore in the second half of 1960s was struggled with a series of environmental degradation scenarios which was linked to urbanization of its economy coupled with economic growth. The aggravated conditions existed and paved the way for air and water pollution, discharge of industrial hazards, serious dust and noise pollution. The pattern of transformation of Singapore from this dilapidated situation to an advanced economy where environment is given top priority is indeed a surprise fact which demands appreciation.This manuscript also presents the innovative approaches used by Singapore in Urban Transport management. At the same time, it also explores the transport history and land use management of one of the metropolitan city in India, Mumbai. This may help readers analyse the applicability of Singapore case study to India. A hypothetical proposal on transport restructuring in Mumbai city followed by an overview of transport infrastructure/existing transport policy in Mumbai is also presented.Singaporeans, in other words, could think of themselves as being responsible for their own affairs, in the 6 years 1959-1965 before she separated from Malaysia, first as a state under British protection during 1959-1963 and then as a largely autonomous state in the Federation of Malaya during 1963-1965, and the government under Lee Kuan Yew from 1959 onwards did go about organising Singapore properly. The views expressed in this book are author's personal views and in no way correspond to the views of the Government.

Most of the old factories are long gone and many workers have retired. Combining history, memory and heritage, Theatres of Memory: Industrial Heritage of 20th Century Singapore takes a stroll through Singapore’s industrial past. From Jurong to Redhill and Kallang, the book uncovers the many hands that enabled the island’s transformation from a colonial entrepôt to an industrial nation. Along the way, we will meet the pioneers of industry—government officials and production workers, men and women, Singaporeans and foreigners. We will hear laughter on the assembly line, descend into the quiet dark of the night shift, and relive the products once made in Singapore, from Rollei cameras and Acma refrigerators to carbonated soft drinks and Bata shoes.

This open access collection examines how higher education responds to the demands of the automation economy and the fourth industrial revolution. Considering significant trends in how people are learning, coupled with the ways in which different higher education institutions and education stakeholders are implementing adaptations, it looks at new programs and technological advances that are changing how and why we teach and learn. The book addresses trends in liberal arts integration of STEM innovations, the changing role of libraries in the digital age, global trends in youth mobility, and the development of lifelong learning programs. This is coupled with case study assessments of the various ways China, Singapore, South Africa and Costa Rica are preparing their populations for significant shifts in labour market demands – shifts that are already underway. Offering examples of new frameworks in which collaboration between government, industry, and higher education institutions can prevent lagging behind in this fast changing environment, this book is a key read for anyone wanting to understand how the world should respond to the radical technological shifts underway on the frontline of higher education.

Today, more than ever, the state of a country’s science and technology is a critical factor for economic competitiveness and long-term growth. This book traces the development of science and technology policies and initiatives in Singapore since 1965. Developed as a trading entrepôt by the British, science and technology were never strongly emphasized, right up to the 1970s. However, the need to stay ahead of economic competitiveness motivated the Singapore Government to initiate its national science and technology policy from the 1980s — moving Singapore from a low-skilled, low-technology economy to a high-skilled, high-technology one. Today, the drive for Singapore to become a hotbed for technological start-ups and R&D activities, supported by strong government funding and cutting-edge facilities, seems promising. Are the aspirations of nurturing a Silicon Valley–type culture in Singapore achievable? Are pragmatic, risk-averse Singaporeans ready for the mindset change? Can a nation of traders and service-brokers become a nation of technological innovators and entrepreneurs? This book attempts to provide the answers

This work takes an in-depth look at the muli-faceted contemporary relationship between Singapore and Japan since the end of World War II. It is the story of a relationship between an economic superpower, Japan, and an enterprising city-state whose leaders have sought to emulate not only Japan's economic success but several key facets of Japanese society as well. No other country surpasses Singapore in its public admiration of Japan. How is it possible for a multi-ethnic Singapore to emulate a relatively homogeneous Japan? What features of economic and political motives behind the attempt to emulate Japan? These and other questions are adressed in this work, which will be of interest to scholars of the international relations and security of East and Southeast Asia.
