　　卷五以华人研究为主题，以新加坡为本位，延伸至东南亚和中国，通过比较途径考察历史的重复现象、历史的横向跨越，以及历史的纵向演变。一则探索在横越与纵变之中，当条件结构相似时，历史所呈现的相似而又有别的挑战—反应模式。二则考察历史在纵横交错发展的某时段，横向跨越所缔造的几个不同模式。三则检验历史在纵向发展中可能出现的“可比性”，聚焦于历史演变轨迹、其赓续与断裂，以及各时期的特征。

Barracks to Boardroom: Climbing The Greasy Pole◎Liew Mun Leong

$39.00

結帳時計算稅金和運費

　　This book is a memoir of Liew Mun Leong’s five-decades-long career
in the public and private sectors. It describes the major events and
turning points in his long and varied career and offers useful management
and leadership lessons earned through his experiences in various
professional, management and leadership roles. Liew Mun Leong has
been a civil engineer, the head of statutory boards, a contractor, a real
estate investor and developer, an airport builder/operator and an urban

and infrastructure consultant.

　　Beginning with his civil service career in the Ministry of Defence, building
military barracks, and eventually detailing how he led businesses in
a wide spectrum of industries, Barracks to Boardroom highlights the
different dynamics in corporate culture, environments and “bottom
line” motivation in both the civil service and the commercial world.

　　In crossing over from an “insider” in the public sector to an “outsider”
in the private sector, Liew Mun Leong sees clearly the need for a shift
of mindsets to bridge the two distinct operating systems and cultures.

　　He describes how he has often courageously broken ground but not
rules to get things done. The civil service ingrained in him integrity,
discipline and good governance while his commercial exposure enriched
his entrepreneurship and broadened his global perspectives.

The book covers various periods of his career, including:
• Working for Mindef
• Launching his engineering career at Paya Lebar Airport
• Working on Changi Airport
• Going from engineering to corporate leadership at SISIR
• Going through a baptism of fire in the private sector
• Entering real estate
• Founding CapitaLand and venturing overseas
• The Surbana Jurong story
• Corporatising Changi Airport

　　His insights on management and leadership make this book an interesting
read for future young leaders on both sides of the aisle.

$15.00

結帳時計算稅金和運費

　　An updated and expanded second edition of Excel in PSLE English: A smart study guide, incorporating the latest changes to the PSLE English syllabus by the Ministry of Education (MOE).

* * *

　　The book remains an organised, systematic and detailed guide that will give Primary 5 and 6 pupils a valuable boost in knowledge and understanding of how to score well in the PSLE English exams. Unlike other guide books which may contain many practice sheets but only a few tips, this book is packed from cover to cover with advice, explanations and examples to help pupils understand the trickiest aspects of the English language.

　　The layout is welcoming and reader-friendly — a blend of words, illustrations, diagrams and other visual aids — and includes cute elements, such as a cartoon penguin and a cartoon cloud, that make it fun and easy for primary school-age children to focus on important rules highlighted in the book.

　　Parents will also be able to understand better how to guide their child as the author is able to share tips on what teachers are looking for in the exams.

All four papers of the English syllabus are covered:

Paper 1: Writing (Situational Writing and Continuous Writing)
Paper 2: Language Use and Comprehension (including Grammar, Cloze and Synthesis/Transformation)
Paper 3: Listening Comprehension
Paper 4: Oral Communication

　　The author has also identified the more common problem areas that pupils should take especial note of. Two chapters that will be extremely helpful are “15 Trickiest Rules in Grammar” and “10 Trickiest Rules in Synthesis and Transformation”.

　　The book comes with two perforated sheets of 18 full-colour tear-out flash cards that can be easily detached and carried around as a handy guide to some of the more confusing aspects of English.

結帳時計算稅金和運費

　Thankful for all the blessings – large and little – that have brought her to this point in her life, Wai Lan was moved to share her personal journey in a book that’s been more than a decade in the making.

　　She has always seemed destined for a life in education, from when she was a mere five, playing make-believe teacher to her dolls and stuffed toy ‘students’. She is a prodigious storyteller, and this book is an account of her formative years and beyond and the events and life experiences that have shaped her as a student, scholar, teacher, mother and school leader.

　　Beyond being a memoir of her days in school as a top student to being on the other side of the table – as an educator of distinction and the youngest principal in 2002 to her current role as NAFA president – each chapter provides an insight into how personal accountability and a spirit of gratitude have helped her become the person she is today. A must-read for any parent, and anyone who is preparing for a career in education or eager to make a difference in the complex world we live in.

I Am Not Good Enough◎Ismail Gafoor & Low Shi Ping

$28.00

結帳時計算稅金和運費

　　Published in commemoration of PropNex’s 25th anniversary, I Am Not Good Enough is more than a biography or corporate history book. It is an award-winning entrepreneur’s candid take on what it entails to successfully build an organisation.

　　Top of that is being decisive and accountable, qualities which Ismail reinforces through multiple anecdotes, conveyed in his signature down-to-earth voice.

　　Also rich in leadership tips and self-enrichment takeaways, and with a foreword by the President of Singapore, Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, the page-turner is an honest, heartfelt and at times humorous account of this Singaporean property’s icon’s inspiring life.

About the Authors

　　Ismail Gafoor is the Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of PropNex, Singapore’s largest listed real estate agency. Breaking free from the humblest of beginnings, he went from delivering newspapers at the break of dawn, to becoming an officer in the army.

The mettle he developed from these early experiences formed the firm foundation upon which he grew a business – one that not only revolutionised the way the industry operated, but also introduced professionalism and integrity to it. In doing so, millions of clients have found their dream homes.

　　Low Shi Ping is an experienced writer, editor and content strategist. An insatiable curiosity about the world has inspired her to tell its stories in the last two decades, especially from those in the design, hospitality, travel and luxury industries.

Retire with More Money◎Tan Ooi Boon

$36.00

結帳時計算稅金和運費

　　Why do some people spend their whole lives working only to find
themselves still short of money in old age?

　　The answer is simple — they don’t know how much is needed and
what can be done to always have enough money.

　　Many of us want to believe that retirement planning is easy because
you can always invest your way to a good life. The reality is many of us
are good at our work, but extremely bad when it comes to managing
money because we do not make the effort to find out what are the
prudent options to manage our wealth.

　　The worst thing that can happen is for you to discover that your
investments do not pan out as planned in old age and it is too late
to do anything.

　　The lesson here is simply this — knowledge is money and it really
pays to gain more of it.

　　In his new book, The Straits Times Invest Editor Tan Ooi Boon shares
more tips and advice on how you can become smarter with money
so that you can retire well. Just like his weekly column, this book
offers you a practical and enlightened view on how you can manage
your assets, by:

Looking ahead
Knowing your properties
Knowing the law that governs money
Knowing what you are investing
Avoiding scams and bad deals
Planning for a peaceful life and legacy

　　Know that smart people are not necessarily rich. Their knowledge
makes them happy people because they have enough to retire well
and are enlightened to know how to keep and make the most of
what they have.

The IRAS Story◎Ng Keat Seng, Lee Su Shyan

$44.00

結帳時計算稅金和運費

The IRAS Story chronicles how Singapore's tax authority evolved from the Singapore Income Tax Department set up in 1948 to administer income tax only, to the Inland Revenue Department that took charge of several taxes from 1960, and finally to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore in 1992, a key national institution that the World Bank has cited as a model for tax administrations.

IRAS' people tell us their story. And it is a fascinating one, of coping with documents galore, irate taxpayers, fraud and tax evasion. But then, like a symphony that soars above the cacophony, the IRAS players put up a class act. It began using technology creatively to achieve one of the lowest costs of tax collection and highest rates of voluntary compliance in the world, and kept up the tempo by responding robustly to a global environment that is becoming more complex and less predictable.

Thinking Allowed?◎Warren Fernandez

$25.00

結帳時計算稅金和運費

Must politics in Singapore be taboo? Need political discussion engender fear? Is the Singapore system averse to change? Can it be remade? These are among the questions confronted in this book by one of Singapore's leading political commentators, a unique ringside perspective of the politics of this country quite different from any that has been told before.

Political observer Warren Fernandez draws from first-hand experience covering politics for the Straits Times for over a decade. He has witnessed the heat of the hustings, sat through countless parliamentary debates, trailed politicians on constituency walkabouts, travelled with and interviewed the country's top leaders... From the cost of living to censorship to Chinese education in schools, he tackles issues in his clear, no-nonsense style - just thinking aloud, but also always insisting that thinking should be allowed on the critical affairs of the day.

Drawn from the "Thinking Aloud" columns on Singapore politics and society that have appeared in The Straits Times since 1991, the book includes new essays that kick off the chapters and delve into the recurrent issues that Singapore has been grappling with for years, and is likely to do so for a long time to come.

Small States In A Big World : Size Is Not Destiny◎Tommy Koh (Editor)

$33.00

結帳時計算稅金和運費

At the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in Japan, more than a quarter of the 93 winning states were small ones.

The 25 countries and territories bagged 113 medals — about a third of the total tally

of 340 medals awarded at the games, which had been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic until 2021.

The disproportionately large haul of medals signifies that small states punch above

their weight. This is just one of the achievements by small states highlighted in Small States in a Big World: Size Is Not Destiny.

The collection of 40 essays shows that despite their sizes, small states can play to their strengths and be successful in many aspects, including contributions to the world order and global security, economics, innovation, aviation, as well as sustainable and human development.

The essays are penned by 46 writers from 29 countries, all of which are members of the Forum of Small States (FOSS), each with a population of below 10 million.

Its membership has grown from only 16 in 1992, when it was established by

Singapore, to 108 in 2022, which marks its 30th anniversary. Its members make

up more than half the United Nations membership, gaining strength in numbers.

The book includes two forewords — one written by Madam Halimah Yacob, President

of the Republic of Singapore, and the other written by Ms Mary Robinson, former

President of Ireland.

The contributors from Singapore include: Dr Tommy Koh, Ambassador-at-Large at

Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the book’s editor; Singapore’s Chief Justice

Sundaresh Menon; Mr Daren Tang, Director-General of the World Intellectual Property

Organization (WIPO); Mr Han Kok Juan, Director-General of the Civil Aviation Authority

of Singapore (CAAS); Mr David Koh, Commissioner of Cybersecurity and Chief

Executive of the Cyber Security Agency (CSA) of Singapore; Ms Quah Ley Hoon, Chief

Executive of the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) of Singapore; Ambassador Tan

Hung Seng, Singapore’s Permanent Representative to the World Trade Organisation

and WIPO; and Ambassador Burhan Gafoor, Singapore’s Permanent Representative

to the United Nations in New York, the United States.

Other contributors include: Judge Abdul G. Koroma, a former Judge of the

International Court of Justice (ICJ) (1994–2012) from Sierra Leone; Judge Kathy-Ann

Brown, a member of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, from Jamaica;

Mr Rodolfo Solano Quiros, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Worship of the

Republic of Costa Rica; Ms Elizabeth Thompson, Barbados’s Ambassador Extraordinary

and Plenipotentiary with Responsibility for Climate Change, Small Island, and former

Cabinet minister; and Mr Elijus Civilis, General Manager of Lithuania’s official agency

Big Hearts, Big Dreams gathers the stories of the 21 winners and nominees from the first two years of the Singapore of the Year award. Each profile captures the determination and drive of those who have made an impact on the community.

Since 2015, The Straits Times has recognised unsung heroes and inspiring dreamers with the Singaporean of the Year award. Supported by UBS Singapore, the annual award celebrates individuals who made headlines not because of their status or fame, but for their selfless acts of goodwill. It recognises the triumph of the human spirit, and the myriad ways in which common men and women can shape the lives of those around them for the better.
