Mengurus masyarakat Singapura gaya Lee Kuan Yew: satu legasi

Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) negarawan unggul Asia Tenggara yang berjaya menggerakkan tindakan-tindakan pragmatik dengan nilai dan gaya kepimpinan berkesan demi mencapai visi pembangunan Singapura. Memiliki pengalaman politik hampir 60 tahun (1955-2011) menjadikan beliau tokoh politik tanpa tandingan di Singapura dan di Asia Tenggara. Kredibiliti kepimpinannya berjaya membawa masyarakat Singapura berkembang maju dari satu tahap ke satu tahap yang lain. Walaupun meletakkan jawatan sebagai Perdana Menteri pada tahun 1990 namun masih terus relevan di arena politik perdana Singapura apabila dilantik sebagai Menteri Kanan (1990-2004) dan Menteri Mentor (2004-2011). Beliau membimbing Singapura pada sebelum dan selepas Singapura dipisahkan daripada Persekutuan Malaysia (1963-1965). Konsep Malaysian Malaysia nya sangat meresahkan dan menjadi penyebab utama Singapura akhirnya perlu membina negara sendiri. Walau bagaimanapun gagasan Malaysian Malaysia telah bertukar menjadi resipi paling ampuh dalam mengurus masyarakat majmuk di Singapura yang merdeka. Sekali gus membentuk gaya kepimpinannya tersendiri. Penulisan ini cuba melihat sepintas lalu legasi LKY dalam mengurus masyarakat majmuk di Singapura. Secara umumnya, masyarakat majmuk akan menghasilkan pelbagai tuntutan dan perjuangan khususnya terhadap hak dan ketuanan. Persoalan sensitif ini berjaya diuruskan LKY dengan gayanya tersendiri. Pendirian asas LKY, dasar keselamatan, dasar pendidikan dwibahasa, sistem politik, sistem demokrasi, konsep “peluang sama rata”, patriotisme dan pembangunan bangsa Singapura, kepercayaan dan pengurusan agama, ekonomi dan modal insan dan nilai Asia akan dibincangkan satu persatu. Adalah diharapkan satu pengkayaan pengetahuan baru berkaitan pengalaman mengurus sebuah masyarakat dan negara khususnya di Asia Tenggara terhasil bagi tujuan rujukan pada masa akan datang

Batu Puteh Island (Pedra Branca): lessons on sovereignty of a country

This paper deliberates on the issues of Batu Puteh Island (Pedra Branca) in relation to the sovereignty of a country and its implications in the future. Trailing of a territory will challenge the sovereignty of a country and is an affront to them. Sovereignty is a representation of power to countries worldwide. The corresponding letter by the Acting Secretary of Johor dated 21st September 1953 stated that Johor does not claim ownership of Pedra Branca. The letter was seen by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as a sign that Johor had handed over its sovereignty on Batu Puteh Island over to the British. Therefore, the court concluded that the letter clearly indicates that since 1953, Johor has declared that it no longer had sovereignty over Pedra Branca. Various questions arise regarding the letter. Where is the sovereign and authority of the Sultan of Johor who reigned over Johor and its territories? Can an Acting Secretary of State rightfully involve on matters of land, territorial and sovereignty of the state? Or, should it be definite by the Sultan as head of a state? These are some of the questions that are yet to be answered and records are vital. It will determine the future and direct a right direction of a country regarding its sovereignty. Learn from history, learn from the administrative weaknesses and individual mistakes, and remember that history repeats itself in the future. Mistakes cost a country and the people an island which was originally theirs for centuries. Of absent mindedness led them in losing the island’s sovereignty to other country. Everyone knows that the island belongs to Johor with all related documents are complete and history has proven it. Hence, it is important to be careful when making any decisions or be sorry for life
