Behind the scenes of TRAINSTOPPING
TRAINSTOPPING: The year in Revue 2011 is a musical revue consisting of small segments of events in year 2011 with the overarching theme being train stoppages. The events are very familiar to Singaporeans – the flash floods, A&F models, 2011 elections, and so on – all portrayed in a different, humorous light to the audience, allowing them to view these events in a way they have never thought of before.
Public Consultation – the next step in Singapore’s democracy
Modern democracy traces its roots back to ancient Greece and Rome, where public forums were at the heart of the democratic process. Citizens were free to attend, speak and vote in the assemblies that were the forerunners to the parliaments of today. Democracy was created in direct opposition to earlier systems of anarchy, monarchy, oligarchy and timocracy. Its distinguishing feature was the idea of equality; that all citizens should have a say in the decisions that affect them.
