AB  - The outstanding economic growth of several East Asian countries has
attracted world attention. Many observers have attributed the success of
these Confucian countries to their common cultural values, such as
respect for authority, loyalty to good leaders, preference for order,
hard work, thrift and emphasis on education. The above factors seem to
have worked in Singapore, although some researchers have observed that
economic success and rapid changes have eroded these traditional values.
In Singapore, the political leaders have now cautioned Singaporeans
against assimilating alien values and becoming a pseudo‐Western society.
They have called for a set of national principles based on Asian values
to guide Singaporeans into the next century.
