Through meticulous research in the archives and interviews, he has put together a book that tells the history of Aukang. But this is not simply a 'History of ...' book. This book weaves together a story of one man's search for his family's past, the stories he discovered, and the history of Aukang and Hougang, and its Catholic community. It presents the history of a place through the personal stories and memories of those who once lived there. His book ensures that local memories of a place and community live on."

[Beyond Bicentennial]( [Sample Chapter]( [Beyond Bicentennial]( Perspectives on Malays Edited By: Zainul Abidin Rasheed (Former Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Community Leader, Singapore), Wan Hussin Zoohri (Former Member of Parliament and Community Leader, Singapore) and Norshahril Saat (ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, Singapore) The year 2019 marks Singapore's Bicentennial milestone since the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles in Singapore in 1819. It was in anticipation of the arrival of the Bicentennial that this book, Beyond Bicentennial: Perspectives on Malays, was initiated. This book is a collection of articles from prominent individuals and academicians that touch not only on the 200 years since the arrival of Raffles, but goes back much earlier, 720 years earlier, when Sang Nila Utama first set foot on the island in 1299. This book hopes to heighten the readers' sense of history and to reflect upon how Singapore has journeyed over the last two centuries, witnessing the perseverance, trials, challenges, and efforts of Singaporeans, and to see how the nation has gone through a transformation from a feudal setting to a cosmopolitan and multi-racial society. [One Hundred Years' History of the Chinese in Singapore]( [Sample Chapter]( [One Hundred Years' History of the Chinese in Singapore]( The Annotated Edition By: Ong Siang Song Since its publication in 1923, Sir Song Ong Siang's One Hundred Years' History of the Chinese in Singapore has become the standard biographical reference of prominent Chinese in early Singapore, at least in the English language. This fact would have surprised Song who saw himself primarily as a compiler of historical and biographical snippets. The original was not referenced in academic fashion and contained a number of errors. This annotation by the Singapore Heritage Society takes Song's classic text and updates it with detailed annotations of sources that Song himself might have consulted, and includes more recent scholarship on the lives and times of various personalities who are mentioned in the original book. This annotated edition is commissioned by the National Library Board, Singapore and co-published with World Scientific Publishing. [Speaking Truth to Power]( [Sample Chapter]( [The Singapore Story by the History-makers: Volume 1]( [Speaking Truth to Power]( Singapore's Pioneer Public Servants Edited By: Hoe Yeong Loke 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.
