Abstract Crisis management has become an increasingly important aspect of modern business management. Although there is rich, evolving literature about crisis management in the West, little has been written about it in Singapore, nor has there been any systematic, scientific and empirical study on this topic in an Asian setting. This study tries to fill in that void by an exploratory empirical study.

    Extractions: Country Info Singapore Introduction Singapore General Data Singapore Maps Singapore Culture ... Singapore Time and Date Singapore Culture Back to Top Cultural activities in Singapore are largely derivative, springing from one or another of the major civilizations of China, India, Indonesia, or the West. Traditional Chinese and Indian music, painting, and drama are practiced by numerous cultural societies and professional groups. Popular culture, based on modern mass media, is far more widespread. Malay music, which has adopted the rhythms of Western orchestras, has general appeal. Musical films that popularize Hindi and Tamil songs have a considerable following, as do films from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United States. Singapore’s cultural life reflects its past colonial administration and the country’s diverse population. Chinese, Malay, Indian, and British influences are apparent in Singapore’s art, architecture, and fine arts. British colonial architecture, for example, is represented by the Parliament House, City Hall, and the Raffles Hotel. Chinese, Hindu, and Islamic architecture are represented in the ornate Shuang Lin Temple, the Sri Mariamman Temple, and the Sultan Mosque, respectively. Singapore’s National Museum complex consists of one museum devoted to the contemporary art of Southeast Asia, one to Asian cultures, and the third to the history of Singapore. Several Chinese, English, Indian, and Malay newspapers serve a largely literate population. Magazines published in the West, Hong Kong, and Japan also have wide appeal. The government monitors the press to a certain extent and on occasion places circulation restrictions on periodicals and newspapers that are critical of its policies. The government-owned Singapore Broadcasting Corporation controls all local radio and television broadcasting.

Movers OUR SERVICES Advertise With Us Society and Culture Singaporean culture is very much like "rojak", a delicious local mixed salad that is eaten as an appetizer. Indeed, Singapore's diverse cultural heritage has resulted in a way of life that forms the canvas of a rich social fabric. Most of the people of Singapore are descendants of immigrants from the Malay Peninsula, China, the Indian sub-continent and Sri Lanka. While they have gradually acquired a distinct identity as Singaporeans, many still retain their customs, practices and festivals in a curious mix of the modern and the traditional. Festivals The Chinese celebrate the Lunar New Year with gusto sometime in January or February, depending on the Lunar Calendar. This is the equivalent of the American Christmas and Thanksgiving combined. There is a big reunion dinner on the eve of the New Year. Expatriates frequently skip town during this period because most shops are closed. Some Chinese businesses close shop for up to two weeksthe only break they have in the year.

Site Map Best of Singapore Culture l Religion Culture The pattern of Singapore stems from the inherent cultural diversity of the island. The immigrants of the past have given the place a mixture of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European influences, all of which have intermingled. Behind the facade of a modern city, these ethnic races are still evident. The areas for the different races, which were designated to them by Sir Stamford Raffles, still remain although the bulk of Singaporeans do think of themselves as Singaporeans, regardless of race or culture. Each still bears its own unique character. The old streets of Chinatown can still be seen; the Muslim characteristics are still conspicuous in Arab Street; and Little India along Serangoon Road still has its distinct ambience. Furthermore, there are marks of the British colonial influence in the Neo-Classical buildings all around the city.

Culture and the arts add to the vitality of a nation and enhance the quality of life." - PM Goh Chok Tong (then 1DPM and Minister for Defence) in a written response to the Report of the Advisory Council on Culture and the Arts in April 1989 INTRODUCTION 1. The 1989 Report of the Advisory Council on Culture and the Arts is widely regarded by policy-makers and the arts community as a watershed in the development of the arts, heritage and cultural scene in Singapore. 2. Chaired by then-2DPM Ong Teng Cheong, the Advisory Council presented Government with a comprehensive slate of recommendations designed to make Singapore a culturally vibrant society by the turn of the century. 3. This chapter reviews the main thrusts of the 1989 Report and assesses the transformations that have taken place ten years hence.
