THE TEMASEK REVIEW

From our Correspondent

The Temasek Review has set up an “Institute” section to house articles and research papers written by academics on Singapore from all over the world.

It will serve as a precursor to our independent think-tank – The Temasek Strategy Institute which will be set up after the promulgation of our company.

The “Institute” section will be helmed by our regular columnist Mr Abdul Gafoor, a Singaporean and an academic himself based in the United Kingdom.

For a start, we will collate and publish extracts and summaries of theses and books written by local and overseas scholars which are seldom heard about in Singapore.

Temasek Review will invite readers who have read them to post their comments on our site or write us a book review to facilitate active discussion and debate among one another.

We count among our readers some prominent professors and academics and it will be an eye-opener for us to hear and learn from their expert opinions.

There are no independent think-tanks in Singapore. All academic institutions are under the firm control of the ruling party. Academics dare not deviate from the official view-points out of fear of losing their rice-bowls.

Temasek Review welcome all researchers, academics and intellectuals to contribute their frank views and analyses of Singapore’s politics, society and economics here.

With the incorporation of our new media company next year, this will serve as a platform for us to set up an independent online think-tank which will be funded entirely from the proceeds of the company.

Please feel free to offer ideas and suggestions on how we can improve and build on this initiative.
