The island-nation’s history from 1959 to 2009 recounted in concise newspaper format and vividly illustrated with more than 1,300 images. There are over 2,000 gripping news stories on politics, nation-building, defence, economy and education, but equally, it covers more colourful and quirky aspects of Singapore life: violent crime, great sporting moments, salacious scandals, high culture and pop culture, risqué entertainment and more, and retells real-life stories that have made Singapore what it is today. Month-by-month, year-by-year, the book gives a dramatic overview of the successes and scandals, as well as the victories and disasters that have shaped Singapore since 1959.
