Asian Values: An Annotated Bibliography   Tags: asian values, english  

Thanks for letting us know more!

In what capacity do you use this guide?

We want to hear from you!

The above are some of the headlines in The Straits Times in the last 6 months. They tell of the aspirations of a young country to retain and nurture values; the struggles the people experience as they try to reconcile values in a 21^st century economy that seems to speak more of consumerism, materialism and being ahead of one’s neighbour.

I therefore applaud NLB’s commendable effort to produce this bibliography of Asian values. Parents and teachers will find it a handy resource to impart to / imprint Asian values on their children.

Let me echo Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s clarion call: “Hold on to core values amid changes” (The Straits Times, 2 February 2011). With this bibliography, we will be able to take a step nearer to achieving this goal.
