Synopsis

Singapore's success story has increasingly been recognised but few have told it from the perspective of an insider. As a senior civil servant and "mandarin" from 1959 to 1999, Ngiam Tong Dow served with the founding generation of political leaders and contributed to the country's economic growth. In this book, he reflects on these experiences, sharing personal anecdotes and perceptive insights of Singapore's early decades. He also boldly questions some of the policies of government and emerging trends in the country to suggest how Singapore must change to survive and thrive in the future.

Introduced and edited by Simon Tay

Critics review

The success of Singapore is due, in part, to the high competency, integrity and dedication of its civil servants. Ngiam Tong Dow is a paradigm example of a remarkable generation of leaders of our civil service. This book makes a valuable contribution to the Singapore story.

- Professor Tommy Koh, Ambassador-at-Large, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Singapore


Singapore's success in becoming a First World country is due to an exceptionally able founding generation of policymakers and civil servants, among them Ngiam Tong Dow.

- Kishore Mahbubani, Dean of Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore
