This book provides a detailed analysis of how governance in
Singapore has evolved since independence to become what it is
today, and what its prospects might be in a post-Lee Kuan Yew
future. Firstly, it discusses the question of political leadership,
electoral dominance and legislative monopoly in Singapore's
one-party dominant system and the system's durability. Secondly, it
tracks developments in Singapore's public administration,
critically analysing the formation and transformation of
meritocracy and pragmatism, two key components of the state
ideology. Thirdly, it discusses developments within civil society,
focusing in particular on issues related to patriarchy and
feminism, hetero-normativity and gay activism, immigration and
migrant worker exploitation, and the contest over history and
national narratives in academia, the media and the arts. Fourthly,
it discusses the PAP government's efforts to connect with the
public, including its national public engagement exercises that can
be interpreted as a subtler approach to social and political
control. In increasingly complex conditions, the state struggles to
maintain its hegemony while securing a pre-eminent position in the
global economic order. Tan demonstrates how trends in these four
areas converge in ways that signal plausible futures for a post-LKY
Singapore.
