:                    DISCOVER SINGAPORE IN 1995!
:                    ---------------------------

: ICCE 95 will be held in the island republic of Singapore. Situated at one
: of the most important crossroads of the world, Singapore is truly a place
: where East and West come together. Here you will find Chinese, Indian
: and Malay communities living harmoniously together, their long
: established cultures forming a unique backdrop to a clean and modern
: garden city. English is spoken everywhere and is the commonly used
: business language.

: Singapore is a thriving business and financial centre for Southeast Asia.
: It has the world's busiest port, and its award winning airport serves
: more than 60 major airlines, including the country's own international
: carrier, Singapore Airlines. It has the tallest hotel in the world (where
: ICCE '95 will be held!). Singapore has an astonishing mix of old ethnic
: areas, modern offices and shopping complexes. It has over 70 world class
: hotels, 18 lush golf courses, and a host of tourist attractions. Few
: places on earth promise such a delight for the palate, with gourmet
: cuisine from over 30 countries.

: Singapore's climate is warm and welcoming all year round, with
: temperatures ranging from 30 C in the day to 23 C by night.

As you "discover Singapore" look into its record on basic human rights. 
Ask about prisoners of conscience, Amnesty Intl. record, censorship of 
opposition newspapers, and other undemocratic tendencies. 

Please ask why this conference on education is being held in Singapore 
given its reluctance to allow free exchange of information?
