...Ho Chong Weng, Jason Professor Sheng Lijun HA9305 1st November 2011 “How Should Singapore Handle Major Powers in the Region: East Asia Summit of 2011” Singapore’s success as nation is not merely based on its strategic location, economic prowess or effective government. Its foreign policy plays a vital role in creating Singapore into what it is now. Singapore’s relationship with the major powers, the United States and China, will be discussed and also offers some suggestions for its future approaches to both countries. The significance of the East Asia Summit 2011 to the region will also analysed. Singapore is in a unique position where it has excellent ties with both the United States and China. This can be largely contributed to Singapore’s long term diplomacy strategy of having a “maximum number of friends” as espoused by the former Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, in his speech on the fundamentals of Singapore’s foreign policy. It is then prudent to ensure that Singapore continues to maintain and better our relationships with both countries and not at the expense of either one of them. Both the United States and China play a unique global role and it is in Singapore’s best interest to have strong ties to both countries. Singapore’s relationship with both the United States and China can be roughly separated into bilateral and multilateral means. Singapore’s government has strong bilateral ties with the United States government and it is evident in many...

...Exclusive Summary Shipping has been an important human activity, especially where prosperity depended primarily on international trade and interregional trade. Transportation has been one of the main factors of globalization, along with communications, international standardization, and trade liberalization. Due to a number of technological, economic, and socio-cultural forces, only limited country can keep itself fully isolated from the economic activities of other countries. Many countries have seen enormous economic growth in the recent past due to their willingness to open their borders and markets to foreign investment and trade. This increased flow of knowledge, resources, goods, and services among world’s nations is called “globalization”, formally defined as the development of an increasingly integrated global economy marked especially by free trade, free flow of capital, and the tapping of cheaper foreign labor markets. Introduction Marine transportation is an integral, if sometimes less publicly visible, part of the global economy. The marine transportation system is a network of specialized vessels, the ports they visit, and transportation infrastructure from factories to terminals to distribution centers to markets. Maritime transportation is a necessary complement to and occasional substitute for other modes of freight transportation. For many commodities and trade routes, there is no direct substitute for waterborne commerce. The Important of Maritime Transport...

...measures have traditionally focused on social and economic data, recent trends have extended to address other features. One important aspect in this regard is the underlying societal gender discrimination and the diverse outcome for males and females. This is commonly referred to as gender inequality. According to Dorius and Firebaugh (2010), gender inequality is where one gender possesses an excessively large proportion of valued items, such as political influence, wages or good health. Although every region of the world has developed policies and laws to tackle gender inequality, Asia-Pacific has countries with varying social and economic circumstances. This essay will examine gender inequality in two Asia-Pacific states, namely China and Singapore. The essay will consider employment and family-based gender inequality in each nation and assess the similarities and differences between them. Gender inequality has major impacts on nations, in particular on the Asia-Pacific zone. Francisco (2007) delineates various forms of inequality, namely mortality, natality, basic facility, special opportunity, professional, ownership and household forms of inequality. In this field, Jutting, Morrison, Dayton- Johnson and Drechsler (2008) argue that gender equality is vital to promote economic growth, wealth creation and poverty reduction. As an illustration, the Asia-Pacific region foregoes approximately 2-4 percent of GDP per year due to low female workforce participation rates (UNDP 2014a)...

...The Singapore History Gallery, presented by the National Museum of Singapore is a 2 800 square metre gallery which uses a story telling approach, to reveal different viewpoints through tales from the 14th century to the present. The Singapore History Gallery is divided into eight sections highlighting the changes from the past to the modern times while offering its visitors the chance to relieve in the times when the ancestors and elders residing in Singapore once lived in. Out of the many artefacts which I have seen in the gallery, the portrait of an Amah interested me the most. Amahs were indentured domestic female servants generally arriving from Pearl River Delta, China; These Amahs were highly sought after by affluent families, mainly the rich families and colonial expats settled in Singapore. While some of the Amahs came to Singapore to seek better job opportunities to avoid marrying which was seen as a loss of freedom back home, others left their families back in China when they lost their faith their husbands as they had dwindled away all their hard earned money by getting addicted to opium and even resorted to selling their own children. Thus, most Amahs took the oath of celibacy which led them to have pleated hair which was left uncut thereafter, becoming the “ma jies” in Singapore whom often acted as a surrogate parent to her employer’s children, staying and looking after the family for such a long time which was enough to see the kids grow up and form families on...
