　　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.

　　Dementia overlaps and blends reality with illusion. When it takes hold, is it possible
to navigate between forgetting and letting go to find love and reconciliation?

　　Live, learn and even laugh with a son with "imperfect filial piety" and his loving
family as they fumbled through days of disorder and fragmented memories that
their dearest Mum's daily dance with dementia brought.

 　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.

　　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.

　　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.

　　Modern Singapore was forged in the flames of a volatile past. Different groups fought to tear Singapore apart during our early years of nation building.

　　This five-book series traces those turbulent years and tell the stories of the people who witnessed history up close. Written in a clear and down-to-earth way, packed with photographs and with pages of graphic novel storytelling, these booklets will appeal to students, young people and anyone looking for a vivid and concise overview of Singapore’s turbulent years.

The five titles in the series are:

  • Battle for Hearts and Minds: Fighting the Communist Threat, 1948-1963 The fight against the communist threat in Singapore and Malaya in the years immediately after World War II. (76 pages)

  • The Undeclared War: Konfrontasi Indonesia’s Konfrontasi (Confrontation) campaign against Malaysia and Singapore in the 1960s, including the 1965 bombing of MacDonald House in Orchard Road that killed three innocent people. (64 pages)

  • Into The Fire: 1964 Racial Riots The deadly racial riots of July and September 1964 that took place against a backdrop of growing political tension in Singapore and Malaysia. (52 pages)

  • Singapore Is Out: Separation and Independence The fight for merger and the issues that led to political tension between Singapore and Malaysia and, eventually, to independence for Singapore. (48 pages)

  • War Is Far From Over: Fighting the Communist Threat, 1968-1989 The havoc wreaked when the communists resumed their attacks in Malaysia and Singapore in the 1960s and 1970s. (60 pages)

　　After Japan was hit by a triple disaster — an earthquake, a tsunami, and a nuclear meltdown — in 2011, Singapore raised about S$35.7 million, one of its largest contributions for disaster relief in another country.

　　In 2023, the year after Japan had relaxed border measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic that erupted in 2020, 591,267 travellers from Singapore visited Japan. This was equivalent to almost 15 per cent of Singapore’s resident population. In 2024, this number grew further by 16.9 per cent to 691,100.

　　The people of Singapore have shown strong support for Japan, even though Japan had occupied their home from 1942 to 1945, during the Second World War.

　　Things improved later. After Singapore became independent in 1965, Japan established diplomatic relations with it in 1966 and contributed significantly to its development. Both countries have also since cooperated in various areas, including the economic, defence, and security spheres.

　　The Land of the Rising Sun and the Lion City: The Story of Japan and Singapore illustrates the growing ties between both countries through their people’s experiences. The collection of 68 essays is contributed by more than 80 writers from various walks of life, including government officials, entrepreneurs, artists, academics, and journalists.

　　They include Singapore’s Permanent Secretary for Home Affairs Pang Kin Keong and Japan’s former Special Advisor on National Security Miyagawa Makio, who led the negotiations for the 2002 Japan–Singapore Economic Partnership Agreement; former Permanent Secretary for Foreign Affairs Tan Chin Tiong and Bilahari Kausikan; Nippon Paint Chairman Goh Hup Jin; Albirex Niigata President Korenaga Daisuke; TungLok Group President Andrew Tjioe; chef Willin Low; Enshu Sado School’s Grand Master Kobori Sojitsu; World Toilet Organization founder Jack Sim; Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) Singapore Office’s Executive Director Shiraishi Takuya; Gardens by the Bay Chief Executive Felix Loh; Japan Creative Centre Director Kawabe Akiko; Singapore Film Society Chairman Kenneth Tan; Artistic Director of the Singapore Biennale 2006 and 2008, Nanjo Fumio; National Gallery Singapore’s Assistant Chief Executive Aun Koh; Cultural Medallion winners Iskandar Jalil, Dick Lee, and Eric Khoo; YouTuber Ghib Ojisan; and journalists Walter Sim and Michiyo Ishida. Singapore’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan and Japan’s former Minister for Digital Transformation Kono Taro penned the forewords.

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.

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.

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

Former Member of Singapore’s Parliament and top civil servant Lim Hwee Hua has used her active role in this perennial issue to show just how complex the arguments can be.

She answers a list of recurring questions, dealing with the why, when, what and wherefore which public officials, managers of state-owned enterprises and businessmen will find useful when formulating policies, or in their dealings with one another.

The numerous examples she cites from all over the world, of governments’ dreams and nightmares, illustrate factors peculiar to particular situations, but all raise degees of risk best resolved with honesty, particularly with regard to who benefits the most from a decision to get in or out. As Lim explains, the answer can sometimes come as a shock.
