Book Description
This book is your handbook to the most important issues facing Singapore, as co-created by New Naratif's Singaporean community. In August 2019, New Naratif launched The Citizens' Agenda. As an independent, reader-funded publication, we wanted to find out what our Singaporean readers care about, and use those concerns to guide our coverage, commissioning evidence-based, in-depth articles on the issues they identified. We believe in our readers and we wanted to report faithfully and honestly on the issues that matter to them. We asked: "In your opinion, what issues do you consider important to Singapore? What do you think the candidates should be talking about as they compete for your votes in the upcoming election?" Following a multi-stage process, we then published articles on the top 6 issues. In this book, you will find analyses of the data gathered in The Citizens' Agenda, as well as the best articles that we produced. Please visit newnaratif.com/citizensagenda and newnaratif.com/electionsg for more information and data. We hope Singaporeans will find it useful as they head to the polls for Singapore's next General Election... and beyond!

Book Description
"What are the issues which one would consider important for a country? This is a question most citizens would ask as they head into a general election to elect a government that would meet their needs. New Naratif, a movement for democracy, freedom of information, and freedom of expression in Southeast Asia launched a plan, "The Citizens' Agenda" to determine what was important to Singapore citizens in their country's upcoming general election. This book is a summary and interpretation of some of the deliberations which took place with focus groups, academics, and concerned citizens on what is important to them for those who seek their votes to be parliamentary representatives in 2020"--Publisher's website.

Book Description
This volume provides a multi-faceted and critical analysis of the Singapore curriculum in relation to globalization. First, it details reform initiatives established by the Singapore government to meet the challenges posed by globalization. Next, Globalization and the Singapore Curriculum presents how these reforms have been translated into programs, school subjects and operational frameworks and then examines, in turn, how well these have been implemented in schools and classrooms across the country. Through this examination, the book reveals how the initiatives, together with their curricular translation and classroom enactment, reflect on the one hand global features and tendencies and, on the other, distinct national traditions, concerns and practices. It brings to light a set of issues, problems and challenges that not only concern policymakers, educators and reformers in Singapore but also those in other countries as well. Written by curriculum scholars, policy analysts, researchers and teacher educators, Globalization and the Singapore Curriculum offers an up-to-date reference for postgraduate students, scholars and researchers in the areas of curriculum and instruction, comparative education, educational sociology, educational policy and leadership in Singapore, the Asia Pacific region and beyond. It also offers a vital contribution to the story of modern education around the globe: providing international students, scholars and researchers valuable insights into curriculum and curriculum reform for the 21st century.

Book Description
Discourses of Southeast Asia presents the latest Southeast Asian research in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). SFL provides a sophisticated social semiotic architecture for exploring meaning in languages and texts in the context of Southeast Asia.

It applies SFL in text analysis so as to be relevant to theory, research and professional practice. This book brings together 12 original chapters by both seasoned and emerging scholars. Their chapters study the ‘native’ languages of Southeast Asia: Indonesian, Malay, Tagalog, Thai and Vietnamese, and relatively newer languages in Southeast Asia: English and Mandarin. The chapters analyze a variety of texts, namely advertisements, classroom interactions, corporate reports, dramas, interviews, media reports, narratives, novels, textbooks and video clips. This volume captures the exciting and productive state of the art of SFL in Southeast Asia. It will be of particular interest to scholars trying to understand the application of SFL in this region.

Book Description
Public housing was once an important strand in western housing policies, but is seldom seen as a mainstream policy instrument for the future. In contrast, in many East Asian countries large public housing programs are underway. Behind these generalizations, there are exceptions, too. By including perspectives of scholars from across the world, this book provides new insights into public housing in its various forms. It contains in-depth chapters on public housing in five East Asian countries and six Western countries, together with three comparative overview chapters.
