has restored somewhat my faith that the real Singapore story may yet have its full-blown Rashomon day in the sun. The book shows glimpses of possibilities, despite the fact that it is still largely a paean to eight civil servants/politicians who would easily be in the front rows of Lee Kuan Yew’s jumbo jet of 300 outstanding leadership talents he once said Singapore needed to survive.
To use the title of Peh Shing Huei’s earlier book on Philip Yeo, the brash 2G economic investment czar, the eight immortals were neither always civil nor servant. Nor were they all in the same mould. This last revelation, which should not have come as a surprise, may likely get more airing with time as more books appear to put the record straight. Ex-Straits Times colleague Bertha Henson has already provided more insights into the Bogaars story with her biography,.
Hi I'm from Malaysia. Where can I get this book? Is it available in Malaysia as well?
