“…Although the PAP professed a rejection of Western-style liberal democracy, it has, since its inception, accepted the need for some welfare spending and pragmatic economic intervention. Mauzy and Milne (2002) discern four major underlying principles of the PAP: pragmatism, meritocracy, multiracialism and communitarianism.…”

“…Therefore issues and problems that are related to race and procommunist opinions or activities are considered sensitive and should be handled carefully. Since communication can be used to "bring about national cohesion" or to "widen social cleavages" [17], in Singapore, the media have been turned into "depoliticized" entities [18]. It has become the one whose main function is to "inform, educate and entertain Singaporeans for the purpose of communitarian national building", and to "stay away from sensitive political issues" [19].…”

Abstract. The English Press in Singapore has unique features in a country that functions under Authoritarian System. In the 1970s, the whole press (both English and Chinese) faced challenges and pressure from the control of the government. Tightening measures and laws were implemented, therefore the English press had to readjust the orientation and tried to cater to the need of nationbuilding and fostering of the spirit of being Singaporeans. The period in the 1970s was the time that both sides had the fiercest conflicts and the key stage the government began to lay down the complete and effective supervision system. A careful and thorough analysis into the English press at that time helps to reveal a more profound picture of that special phrase and paves the way to a deeper understanding between power and media.

“…The Rude subcultural life in Singapore was as much about a shared collective identity and having fun as it was about developing "solutions" to the problems of dealing with a dominating educational system. Our subcultural lives had relatively little to do with class-based marginalization as such; it was more about racial and ethnic-based classifications, and most importantly about our desire for individuality in a culture that is notably conservative in terms of how young people are raised and taught (Englehart 2000;Mauzy and Milne 2002).…”

This article theorizes and performs an analytic and evocative autoethnography about participation in the Rude Boy subculture in Singapore in the 2000s. Relying on critical pedagogy and a performative conception of subcultural theory, we analyze the second author's past self as a Rude Boy through a collaborative narrative that emerged out of a university course-based research project on youth subcultures. Our narrative, which includes the reproduction of field notes, reflective journals, interviews, and dialogue between the authors, is intended to simultaneously question the assumed dichotomy between analytic and evocative autoethnographic forms and to highlight the potential for a critical pedagogy that brings teachers and students together to create new understandings of the self. The article also highlights the personal and pedagogical outcomes of dealing academically with a subcultural past and extends a dialogic approach to studying subcultural participation and experience.
