[World Scientific]( [WorldScinet-logo]( [Speaking Truth to Power]( Singapore's Pioneer Public Servants Edited By: Hoe Yeong Loke This book series showcases Singapore's history, through the words of the key figures themselves. Drawing on the records of the Oral History Centre at the National Archives of Singapore, this series presents transcripts of interviews with leaders from the fields of public service, politics, business, among others, with extensive annotations on biographical and historical background that make for easy reading. The series aims to serve as a valuable resource for future research, while also making the material accessible to a wider audience. The first title of the series, Speaking Truth to Power: Singapore's Pioneer Civil Servants has just been published. It is said that the duty of public servants is to "speak truth to power" — to give honest, sound and sometimes unpopular advice to political leaders. Underneath the narrative of the Singapore story, as personified by Lee Kuan Yew and the first-generation leaders, lie the lesser-known tales of dedicated public servants in the nation-building process. Singapore's development cannot be fully understood without considering the role of those in public service during the transition to independence from the 1950s to 60s. Featuring oral history interviews from the National Archives of Singapore with 11 pioneer public servants, Speaking Truth to Power: Singapore's Pioneer Public Servants reveals first-hand, personal accounts of the civil service's transition from the colonial era, their relationship with the political leaders, and how Singapore's economic development was driven by sound public administration in those critical years. The annotated interviews make for an easily readable format for researchers and general audiences alike.
