For Singapore, 1995 was a year when domestic affairs enmeshed with international issues and the city-state once again found itself thrust into the limelight of the international media. It was also a year when the economy came close to the point of crossing over to the developed league. What does this all mean for Singapore? The annual Conference on Singapore: The Year in Review posed and deliberated questions on various issues, among these, the Flor Contemplacion case and the Krugman Thesis concerning the sustainability of the economic growth in Singapore. Four areas were covered - The Economy; The Public Service; Domestic Politics; and Foreign Affairs. Contributors include Amina Tyabji, Lee Tsao Yuan, Lim Siong Guan, Jon S. T. Quah, Kanwaljit Soin, Winston Koh, Felix Soh and Zainul Abidin Rasheed.
