The Short Stories and Radio Plays of S. Rajaratnam
Irene Ng (ed.)
Singapore: Epigram Books, 2011
ISBN: 9789810878481

The late Mr. S. Rajaratnam is probably best remembered by many as a founding father of Singapore and its first Foreign Minister. Some will remember him to be the man behind Singapore's National Pledge. Others will know he was the PAP's ideologue. Few, however, will remember or know that this fascinating man was once said to be among the world's top writers of fiction. Now, at last, his stories and plays have been diligently put together in a single volume by his official biographer, Ms Irene Ng.

This is a book to have and read and keep; it is a treasure trove for those who love fiction and literature. And for those who remember Mr. Rajaratnam, this book will serve as a wonderful testament to the man all Singaporeans admired and have been proud of.
