One Singapore—by Goh Sin Tub
One Singapore by local author and ex-civil servant Goh Sin Tub, is a delightful collection of short stories, some fictional and some from Mr. Goh’s own anecdotes. The stories represent small pictures of life in Singapore and also show the colourful experiences Mr. Goh has had in his life. It is also very interesting as he recounts his days pioneering the construction of Singapore, and he also provides us with stories that reveal the sides of our leaders that we have never seen or known before, such as President Nathan and the late David Marshall. After reading a few stories, you may find that there is somewhat a repitition of ideas such as the importance of family values, nonetheless, Mr. Goh’s honed writing style presents these ideas in a fresh way and still attracts the reader to stay engrossed in the book. In all, the book is an accessible and easy read for all.
