...(Genting Malaysia 2012). This self-made magnate is no other than Malaysia’s highly praised Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong. Goh Tong’s humble take on life and strong entrepreneurial qualities is the epitome of a true rag to riches story. Today’s his multinational empire is worth at RM $23 billion (AUD $7 billion) as of 31st December 2011, making it one of Malaysia largest and most respectful listed company (Genting Malaysia 2012). Goh Tong’s diverse business empire thrived slowly year by year because he believed in the simple approach of success through determination, perseverance, hard work and self-conviction (Lim 2004). His entrepreneurial qualities bloomed from a tender age of 16 and evidently the qualities became more apparent with age and experience (Lim 2004). His admirable qualities and success prompted Malaysia then Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad to correlate the country’s economic development during the economic boom of Southeast Asia to the success of Goh Tong’s story. Mahathir implied entrepreneurs such as Goh Tong will benefit the country’s economic development and growth in a long run, encouraging more Malaysians to looked up to Goh Tong and his story of success (France-Presse, 2007). Goh Tong’s entrepreneurial qualities are nothing of the extraordinary, they were qualities that many taken for granted when seeking success. Life would have been very different for Goh Tong if he didn’t have the courage to take the big leap of faith to leave his homeland...

...limitation to succeed. Lim Goh Tong did not speak or write in English. He spoke Hokkien in his native land China, and after coming to Malaysia, he learned Bahasa Malaysia, Cantonese & Mandarin. But that did not stop him to negotiate one of the biggest business contracts in the country. 2. Be polite, humble and respectful to others. If you can rub shoulders with tycoons, politicians and high officials, ask yourself, can you get along well too with hawkers and manual workers? Often times, success goes to our heads and we forget where we came from and our hardship seems to be a forgotten past. 3. When it comes to appointment and meeting, have a habit to be punctual. Better still, come 5 to 10 minutes early. Malaysians have a very weird habit when it comes to appointments, interviews and meeting. Don’t be one. Make punctuality your personal and business principle. Do not make excuse to cancel appointments just because the person is not important. Also, a good advice is that, if you want to know if a person will be a good friend and business partner, watch if he arrives on the appointed time when you set a date or meeting. If you are late for job interview when you can be early, know that you will not make a good employee. 4. Live a disciplined, simple life. Get up early from bed to start your day. You will see prosperity coming your way. 5. Make effort to carry something that you can write or jot down when you have anything coming to mind. Lim Goh Tong used small notebook...

...“Why is the 2011 GE considered to be a watershed election?” ForDr. Lee Lai To Nanyang Technological University | | By Ng Wei Qiang U1010722H Word Count: 2805 words (Excluding Cover Page) March 3, 2012 To understand why GE 2011 was considered by many to be a watershed election, we must first take a look at the historical context of Singapore’s political scene which has been dominated by the People’s Action Party (PAP) since its independence in 1966. In fact, from 1966 up to 1981, there was not a single opposition Member of Parliament (MP). Among other reasons, one compelling fact was the boycott of the Barisan Socialis in the 1968 elections, allowing the PAP to sweep the polls, capturing all 58 seats and garnering 84.4% of all votes. Since then, the PAP has not looked back, dominating all Parliamentary General Elections while the opposition has failed to make any significant inroads in the political scene. However, it should be noted that over the years, the PAP has had a few upsets along the way with J. B. Jeyaratnam breaking the PAP’s monopoly of the Parliamentary seats with an unexpected victory in the 1981 Anson by-election. The next 3 elections in 1984, 1988 and 1991 then saw a downward swing in PAP’s popular vote, culminating in the PAP garnering only 61.0% of votes and losing 4 seats in 1991. This was significant in the fact that firstly, it was the lowest percentage of votes garnered by the PAP and secondly, it was the most seats lost to the opposition...

...MANAGING WATER SHORTAGE CRISIS Position Paper Prepared for Symposium Committee By April 2011 Introduction On Earth, only less than 1% of all water available is suitable for human consumption (Vitzthum & Atkins, n.d.). This emphasises on the scarcity of drinkable water and highlights the importance of not just making water available, but also making it safe for drinking. In the event of a natural disaster, water shortage is of major concern to affected countries. For Northern Ireland, water pipes and ice thaw after each passing winter, causing burst in pipes supplying water to households. Adding on, in 2011, Japan suffered from an earthquake which disrupted their water supply. These are instances of water crisis which can take place spontaneously. Water crisis can strike in any form and at times when it is least expected, even in Singapore, where it is ranked 160 out of 169 globally, with little natural water resource available (Nationmaster, n.d.). During World War 2, Japanese forces seized control of the main water supply in Singapore leading to the downfall of Singapore (Paterson, n.d.). This exposes the vulnerability of Singapore to water crisis. Currently, Singapore has to rely on the 4 National Taps to provide water for her population. Therefore, terrorist attacks on the 4 National Taps can be seen as threats which can lead to emergency water shortage. Although there is a low possibility of natural disasters occurring in Singapore, there is no guarantee...

INTRODUCTION 2.1 Background Singapore’s long history of immigration started from the 2nd century AD when the first settlers arrived on the island. Since then, the country has grown and is now a melting pot of approximately 5 million people made up of Chinese, Malays, Indians, Asians of various descents, and Caucasians. As shown in Figure 1, the number of foreigners working and studying in Singapore makes up roughly 37% of the entire population in 2010. (Singapore Department of Statistics, 2010) In August 2001, then PM Goh Chock Tong urged Singaporeans to accept the increasing number of foreigners in the city state as they were “a matter of life and death for us in the long term” (Fernandez, 2001). As such, the Government has opened the doors to foreigners leading to a substantial growth from 2005 to 2010 as seen in Figure 2. This substantial increase of foreigners has hardly gone unnoticed as it has altered Singapore’s population demographic. In light of this, PM Lee Hsien Loong dedicated a...
