Naming the New Singapore University

Calling all Singaporeans! The Ministry of Education needs your help:

The Ministry of Education invites you to suggest a name for the new university!

Singapore’s new publicly-funded university will open its doors to students in 2011. It will provide rigorous and high-quality innovative degree programmes to students who want to learn across disciplines, hone their entrepreneurial skills, and be well-prepared for successful careers in the global knowledge economy.

Suggested names should be befitting of a premier educational institution in Singapore, and could reflect the qualities we hope to see in the new university and its students.

The naming exercise will end on 30 November 2008. Your suggestions will be put up to the New University Steering Committee for consideration.

We look forward to receiving your suggestions!

I am placing my bet on the name, “Lee Kuan Yew University” or “People’s Action University“, given Singaporeans’ penchant for MM Lee and the PAP. 🙂 What do you think?
