IHI Wl SI I KN CAROLINIAN lehnian 28, |980 PageS Singapore A little country with everything This article has been sponsored by International Student Organisation which promotes international understanding and friendship. I would like to tell you something about my country of origin. My name is Kajeey Menon. and 1 am from Singapore which is twenty-four flight hours away from Cullowhee, U.S.A. Well, to most Americans. Singapore is near the coast of China. This belief, however, is incorrect. Singapore is a small island state to ihe souih of the peninsula of Malasia. Singapore is 225 square miles with a population of 25 million which gives a density of 10,000 to a square mile. When compared to the other countries density wise Singapore is the second most crowded nation in the world. Tin Iii si by the way is Monaco which has a density of 43,252 per square mile. Singapore is a multiracial, multi-lingual, and multicosmopolitan country, Singapore is the melting pot of the East, just as Am. rica is ihe melting pot "I ihe world. Aboui (>() percent "i ihe people In Singapore are Chinese; 30 percent are Malays; 9 percent are Indians and the remaining I pcrc* in consists of other races like- Jews, Japanese. Koreans The official language is English with Malay. Chinese, and Indian as the second language, Whenever I gel into a conversation with anyone, they ask me whether there are these things or those things in Singapore. Well folks, Singapore has everything that is needed for a decent living, and I mean everything. To make the facts clear. Singapore is the shopping paradise of the East; it has the third largest port in the world, a reliable and hardworking labor force, and the largest man made yvaterfall in the world. Singapore does not have many natural resources except for gravel. The onlv means of survival for Singapore is through entreport trade, banking service, and investment. There are a number of American firms in Singapore, like Texas Instruments. Union Carbide, Phillips Petroleum, Chase Manhattan, Bank of America. Citibank and not to forget the Kentucky Fried Chicken establishments. When I eat the food in tin WCU cafeteria I think of the Singapore food. Just as Singapore is multiracial, the food is varied. You hace a wide array of food to choose from. In the U.S. cars may be merely playthings, but in Singapore the taxes and insurance coverage on cars can scare a person. Cars are nol reallv needed because Singapore had one of the first public- transportation systems to be seen anywhere around the world. Singapore has just seen tin completion of a new ultra-modern airport, lt is said to be one of the finest in the world. In Singapore there are various campaigns like "keep Singapore clean", "keep Singapore green", "make courtesy our way of life", "help ihe elderly yveck" and many more. I could go on and on which goes to show that Singapore, although a small spei k on the map. is big in everything else. Sheehan to lecture Dr. George Sheehan. sometimes referred to as the American guru of running, will lecture Wednesday. March 5. at WCU. His 8 p.m. presentation in the Grandroom of Hinds University Center is sponsored by Last Minute Productions and will be free to the public. Sheehan is the author of three books. "Dr. Sheehan on Running," "Running and Being—Tie Total Experience" and "Dr. George Sheehan's Medical Advice to Runners". A practicing cardiologist. Sheehan attended Manhattan College and as an undergraduate cvas a member of the 1938 and 1939 IC4A championship cross-country team. In 1940. he was the runner-up in the indoor EC4A mile but quit running after graduation. At age 44, Sheehan began running again and now runs about 30 miles per week. He competes regularly at distances from a half-mile to the marathon and has completed the last 15 Boston Marathons. At age 50, he ran a mile in 4:47.6. then a world's record for his age group. Sheehan has surpassed even that accomplishment with his writings on running and has been called "our most important philosopher of the sport" by "Sports Illustrated".
