Urban complex is an achievement of enhancing the mixed function of buildings and the convenience of regions in the urbanization process. Since the independence of self-governance, Singapore has embarked on mixed-use development, first on community complexes, then launching numerous influential commercial complexes in the last fifty years, contributing to the city's economic and social benefits. This paper outlines the evolution of urban complexes in Singapore following an analytic discussion on the features of a gathered distribution in the CBD and green-aspects reorganization. The space features identified in multiexperiencing space are driven by economy from a sustainable life-cycle to experiential core consumption space, then to create an immersive themed scene and upward sky garden scenario. Considering Singapore's urban planning goals, which are to create a diverse and enjoyable city, this paper finally focuses on the interpretation of future-oriented complex space trends to provide a reference to meet the architecture and urban space problems of China's urbanization process.

Prefabricated building in China started later than developed countries. Compared with the world-renowned garden city Singapore, which is also an Asian country, its prefabricated building has got considerable achievements since its inception in the 1980s, and became a leading technological country in the field of prefabricated building internationally. This paper sorts out the development process of assembly buildings in Singapore, analyzes the development strategy of assembly buildings, introduces the buildable design appraisal system, and summarizes the technical characteristics and development trend of prefabricated building in Singapore. These experiences have certain reference value and significance for the development of prefabricated building in China. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To some literary scholars, the Malay pantun(s) are probably a perfect mirror of the Malay world, and a Malay soul. Passed down orally through the generations, the pantun is a form of oral literature that finds its roots amongst a great many kinds of people. The focus of this paper is the Malay and Malaysian Chinese Peranakan pantun(s), some of which were collected directly from informants in Malacca and Singapore. The Malay pantun's penchant for nature in the first couplet of a pantun, which is reiterated in the Malaysian Chinese Peranakan pantun, becomes the focus of this analysis. Besides, it is the contention of this paper that the reiteration of nature reflectors is the "mirror effect" of the collision between the Malay and Chinese Peranakan pantun(s). The natural phenomena presence in both types of pantun(s) emphasizes daily lives which were closely associated with the natural surroundings of the Malay and Malaysian Chinese in those days and at the same time formed the uniqueness and the beauty of their pantun(s).

This study compared the algebra content of instructional materials in the most popular elementary school mathematics textbook series used in Taiwan, Finland, and Singapore, respectively. The research method employed was content analysis. Mathematical problems were the unit of analysis and they were classified based on their cognitive types, contexts and representational forms. Findings showed that the percentage of algebra problems presented in the textbooks in these three countries was not high, only about 7% to 13%. In sample problems, Taiwan and Singapore presented a detailed problem-solving process, but Finland only offered brief descriptions or definitions. We found the ratio of different types of problems in textbooks to be similar in the three countries with most of the problems classified as 'procedure without connection' in each country. As to problem contexts, most algebra problems in Taiwan were contextual problems in nature, but in Finland and Singapore, were classified as non-contextual problems. When the representational forms of problems was examined, we found that most problems were presented in word form in Taiwan, but most frequently in a purely mathematical form in Finland and Singapore.

Population ageing has become a major social issue of concern worldwide in recent years, with significant implications for national economic and social development. Globally, Singapore is one of the first countries to address ageing as a population issue and has implemented relatively well-developed initiatives to promote healthy ageing. Similar to China, Singapore has a sharp decline in the total fertility rate, resulting in changes in the population structure. This paper briefly introduces Singapore's healthy ageing measures, summarizes Singapore's practical measures and coping concepts in scientific research on ageing, healthcare programs for the elderly, elderly -friendly environment construction, artificial intelligence big data application, and puts forward that China should pay attention to the effectiveness of population growth incentive measures, pay attention to the scientific and technological response, increase the development and application of artificial intelligence, improve primary health care and long-term health care, and update scientific concepts.

Natural product is an important source of new drug research and development (R&D). Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) innovation is the key step for its modernization and internationalization. However, due to the complexity of TCM, there are many difficulties and confusions in this process. Target-based drug discovery is the mainstream model and method of R&D. TTD, short for therapeutic target database, is developed by National University of Singapore. Besides a large amount of information on drug targets, the database also contains considerable information related to natural products. This paper briefly introduces the TTD, analyzes the natural products derived drugs/compounds recorded in TTD, which we think might provide some inspiration for the innovation of TCM.
