Lim Siong Guan, Singapore's former Head of Civil Service
(1999-2005) was the Institute of Policy Studies' 4th S R Nathan
Fellow for the Study of Singapore. This book contains edited
versions of the three IPS-Nathan Lectures he gave between September
and November 2017, and highlights of his dialogue with the
audience.Lim addresses the question, 'Can Singapore Fall?', by
examining the state of Singapore today and proposing what Singapore
and Singaporeans must do in order to prevent economic and social
decline. Taking inspiration from Sir John Glubb's essay, The Fate
of Empires and Search for Survival, Lim urges Singaporeans to
counter decline by observing the 'three legs of honour': Trust,
Diversity, and Excellence. These include becoming a gracious
society and building up a culture of innovation, excellence and
outwardness.Lim also reminds us that cultural change takes a
generational effort to effect; for change to happen, Singaporeans
must thus act with urgency and act now for the well-being of future
generations.The IPS-Nathan Lectures series was launched in 2014 as
part of the S R Nathan Fellowship for the Study of Singapore. The S
R Nathan Fellow delivers a series of lectures during their term to
advance public understanding and discussion of issues of critical
national interest.
