It Ihe announcement that his lament-owned Singapore Air less than 6 years in interna- J operation, had contracted to Base almost $900 million in air- Ind spare parts over the next Jyears from Boeing Aircraft It was one of the biggest pur- B orders Boeing has ever re message that the English language must be used and understood by every Singaporean. In the so-called Two Stream” system of education in the schools, Lee has decreed that subjects can also be taught in mandarin for the Chinese, malay for the Malays and tamil for Indians. Lee refused to accept as one of the official languages the more widely spoken Hokkien or any of the United Press International several Chinese dialects. His rea soning: Singapore is eventually bound to develop closer trade and cultural ties with China despite Sin gapore s staunch anti-communist stance. When that day comes, his people will need to know. By' literally tailoring Singapore to fit the needs of foreign companies Lee had by the end of 1977 attracted nearly $4 billion in foreign invest ments — one third from the United States and the rest from Japan and the European Economic Commu nity. There are 140 multi-national companies in Singapore. Richard Love, vice chairman of the Ameri can Business Council of Singapore, described the island as “an Asian base of operation for doing business with the world.” Dr. Goh Keng Swee, deputy prime minister and Lee’s chief fi nancial planner, said recently “the valuable lesson we have learned from past years is that if the three major partners for progress — gov ernment, labor movement and management — work toward the common goal of increasing output, raising productivity and sharing in creased wealth fairly, then every body in Singapore is better off for it.” MELBOURNE, Australia — Talking to yourself— and getting a reply — may be better psychic medicine than transcendental medita tion and other do-it-yourself therapies, says a British psychiatrist. Dr. Malcolm Carruthers, senior lecturer of the London Institute of Psychiatry, told a psychiatric conference in Melbourne last week that talking to oneself — with professional guidance — can help an indi vidual relax and cope with a wide range of stress-related problems. Carruthers described the treatment — developed over 15 years — as an “autogenic” technique. He said the treatment involved lying down in a “corpse position” and repeating simple phrases directed at one’s body, starting with the light arm and ending with the chest. who rode into power on a ring socialist platform in 1959, ed guitail y Karen ( litly could be better described alpragmatic planner, believing tost equally in socialism and free prise as the means of getting lost the fastest for his people, are confined at the tip of the rsian peninsula on land devoid nost any known natural re- js, depending mainly on wits ernoon. j energy for survival.
