"Roll Out the Champagne, Singapore!": An Exuberant Celebration of the Nation's 50th Birthday
Catherine Lim
Singapore: Marshall Cavendish, 2014
ISBN: 9789814561587

30 stories about ordinary Singaporeans at their best and worst, their joys and griefs and angers, their dreams fulfilled or lost. They are tales about the awesome human condition and the even more awesome human spirit, interweaved with the author's vignettes of her nearly 50 years in Singapore, such as how she came from Malaysia to live in Singapore and her run-in with then prime minister Goh Chok Tong.
