(Re)Defining Singapore (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789819824717)

(Re)Defining Singapore paints a portrait of the country through a collection of essays contributed by 26 notable voices. An improbable nation that succeeded beyond anyone's imagination, Singapore is widely recognised as an economic miracle. Yet, as its founders and pioneers give way to technocrats in the digital age of AI, how much of the old is still relevant? With younger Singaporeans considering themselves citizens of the world, would they still be loyal and hold dear to the values that made their nation what it is?

Through powerful stories told by personalities that have contributed to Singapore's unique success, this book takes stock of its evolution and considers the way ahead. Thought-provoking analyses are mixed with deeply personal, inspiring narratives around pillars such as politics, education and culture. Together, they serve as a bridge between generations, encouraging readers to remember their roots and see nation-building not as a done deal, but as an enduring, shared responsibility.
