Founding Fathers: 10 Unofficial Pocket Guides

  • Description
  • The first in the Great Singapore Stories series comprises 10 books in an attractive collection on the ā€œFOUNDING FATHERSā€ who were at the start of the Great Adventure of Independent Singapore. What do we know of the Singapore story today?

    We dismiss the past as dry history, a list of dates or milestones of events. How many people know:

    • the huge effort to relocate our people from farms to flats?
    • the secretive efforts to build Singapore’s defence force?
    • Singapore’s industrialisation drive – once called ā€œGoh’s follyā€?

    Each book in FOUNDING FATHERS has:

    • the story of one Singapore founder and his contribution in the endeavour
    • growing-up days
    • surprising things we never knew about the man
    • what others say about him
    • snapshots linking the past to present-day context
    • rarely seen pictures from family archives

    Titles:

    1. David Marshall - The Legal Eagle
    2. Devan Nair - The Rebel With A Cause
    3. Eddie Barker - The Gentleman Politician
    4. Goh Keng Swee - The Master Sculptor
    5. Lee Kuan Yew - The Man of Firsts
    6. Lim Kim San - The Big Builder
    7. Ong Pang Boon - The Bespectacled Crime Buster
    8. Othman Wok - The Dashing Peacemaker
    9. S. Rajaratnam - The Voice of a Nation
