This volume comprises essays by Singapore thought-leaders
republished from various issues of the annual journal of the
National University of Singapore Society called Commentary.The
chapters have been curated to provide historical review of
Singapore's journey in economic, ecological and social development.
Centred around the theme of sustainability, together, they provide
a rich account of how the issues of environmental management and
human resource development were pursued in tandem with strategic
industrial policy from the early days of independence.They also
convey how the current plans to take the country into the age of
the Industrial Revolution 4.0 of digitisation and artificial
intelligence, to continue to be the hub of hubs in the new economy,
cannot and must not be at the expense of ecological health and a
strong sense of stakeholdership among Singaporeans. The issues
about immigration in the face of demographic decline, the choices
in the sources of energy to power the economy in a
carbon-constrained world, and the competition that a small state
must continue to respond to as new growth sectors reshape the
global economy are tackled by the eminent thought-leaders who
contributed the chapters.While this is not new material, the reader
will be surprised by how the debates about the policy choices and
the expressions regarding what is important for Singapore and
Singaporeans to achieve true and enduring national wealth remain
fresh in this highly accessible edited book.
