How Singapore's Central Provident Fund Fares in Social Security and Social Policy
Singapore's Central Provident Fund (CPF) has served well in the old economy as a macroeconomic stabilisation policy. It finessed the developmental state and created socio-political stability with home ownership extended to health, education and asset enhancement schemes. However, structural changes with globalisation, information communication technology (ICT) and the new knowledge-based economy (KBE), plus a series of crises and downturns since …

Singapore Inc: A success story
The success of Singapore's government‐led and managed economy has allowed it to box above its weight in the international trade and financial arena for decades. However, globalisation and technology are forcing a policy shift
Rethinking Singapore Inc. and GLCS
Introduction Singapore is a small open economy (SOE) with a growth and development policy led by state-owned enterprises (SOEs), later dubbed government-linked companies (GLCs).

The Singapore developmental state in the new economy and polity
Good corporate governance has proved lacking in other Asian countries since the crisis in 1997. Economic reform, corporate and financial restructuring have been urged, cajoled and demanded by major international lenders and probably, too, to avert the next financial crisis. Singapore stands out without the profligacy of government spending, dubious government- business relations, cronyism, corruption and nepotism. Its formula of a committed devel…
Science, technology and the state in Singapore: An overview, evaluation and comparison

Health Care in the Context of Social Security in Singapore
This article examines health provisions in the context of social security in Singapore and argues that the principles underlying health care and old age provisions are compatible. The Central Provident Fund (CPF) and its health schemes such as Medisave and Medishield, complemented by Medifund, are depicted in the article as instrumental in encouraging people to save and manage their own health care in a selfreliant manner. The CPF has another imp…

Social Security: How Singapore Does It
Singapore's social security system through its Central Provident Fund (CPF) has gone beyond old age provisions. A British legacy, this fully funded CPF scheme has been refined into an all-purpose package for home ownership, medical, local tertiary education and asset ownership. It has become a life-long provision through a portfolio of continuous managed investment

Population Movement in the Asia Pacific Region: Singapore Perspective
Inequalities in wages and incomes, accompanied by flows of trade, capital and technology and the phenomenon of globalization, may be some reasons for the significant movement of people in the Asia Pacific region. Changes in topologies, magnitude, composition and the direction of such movement of people have been identified in the literature. This article takes these trends into the context of Singapore as both an importer and exporter of labor. O…
Population Movement in the Asia Pacific Region: Singapore Perspective
Migration and Singapore: Implications for the Asia Pacific
A crude hypothesis is that the wider the spatial inequalities in wages and incomes, accompanied by trade, capital and technology flows and globalization, the more significant is migration. The challenge in the Asia Pacific region is to unravel and synthesize the sociopolitical, legal and institutional aspects with the help of better theoretical and empirical inputs. This case study of Singapore shows that it has managed to balance sociopolitical …

The Primary Information Sector in Singapore, Japan and the United States
This paper attempts a quick analysis of the information sector in Singapore, Japan and the United States using the input-output methodology. An alternative way of computing the scalars to bisect a sector into two, namely information and non-information sectors, is used. From the empirical analysis, it is found that the information sector in Singapore has still some way to go before approaching the levels as found in Japan and the United States. W…

The Singapore Economy in 1987
As helplessly as the Singapore economy floundered in 1985 into its first major recession in two decades, which decimated its annual growth rates averaging 9.4 per cent between 1969 and 1979 to -1.8 per cent in 1985,1 it regained its momentum in 1987 with dis cipline and diligence. While 1985 will be remembered as year of gloom and 1986 as one of belt-tightening and policy reversals, 1987 was itself watershed, posting strong upturn. In 1988, howev…
