More about the book
The book examines the paradox of Singapore's government, which, while initially promising democracy during its independence struggle, has since undermined democratic institutions to maintain power. It highlights the economic prosperity that has positioned Singapore among the world's wealthiest nations, yet critiques the reliance on borrowed policies from Hong Kong, the erosion of the rule of law in favor of political appointments, media suppression, and a self-serving foreign policy.
