In view of the importance of cultural heritage management, this paper aims to review and critically think of a cultural heritage management structure combining decentralization and centralization, by examining the managerial issues associated with architectural heritage conservation in Singapore. Its heritage management structure is interpreted around statutory boards and their grassroots support, drawing a clear picture of how Singaporean cultural heritage is preserved and managed in a decentralized-centralization structure. On this basis, a critical thinking about Singapore’s structure of cultural heritage management is developed. This paper found out that Singapore with a typical centralized managerial structure set up statutory boards as governmental agency to enhance the flexibility of operating conservation projects, avoiding possible weakness of state-centered management framework. In addition, this paper argued that a management system in combination with centralization and decentralization seems commonplace around the world, on the grounds that a pure centralized structure is often accompanied by cumbersome bureaucracy and the function of a pure decentralized structure is generally constrained due to possible stereotyping behaving and thinking way of civil servants with professional backgrounds.

This paper explores the “Three Principles of the People” described by Sun Yat-sen, known as the founder of modern China. In his political manifesto, he laid out the revolution’s objectives against the Qing dynasty and established the groundwork for a modern China. We apply Sun Yat-sen’s theory to advocate our beliefs for the betterment of the Vietnamese people. This paper analyzes and applies the “Principle of Livelihood,” the third principle of Sun Yat-sen’s doctrine, and aims to achieve social welfare and happiness. We examine its role in bringing about a new era of independence, freedom, and happiness in Vietnam’s history. By using these concepts to understand Vietnamese values of happiness, we can comprehend the importance of Sun Yat-sen’s views, which are crucial to Vietnam’s current state of independence, freedom, wealth, and happiness.
