Singapore Correspondent covers five years of Singapore's colourful political past - a period of living turbulently and sometimes dangerously.
The collection of eye-witness dispatches, sent from Singapore to London, spans a time when Singapore was emerging from British colonial rule and moving forward to self-government and independence. Many of the early struggles of the People's Action Party (PAP) are described, as the focus is on the political struggle taking place in which the PAP played a major part. Many important events which have long been forgotten are brought to life by the writer.
These dispatches prove that political history need not be dull, and indeed they can sometimes be entertaining and lively if Singaporeans want to learn something about the beginnings of the present-day Republic of Singapore.
