Ridiculous: Untold Stories of Singapore.

Ridiculous: Untold Stories of Singapore.

S$30,00Harga

To most outsiders, Singapore is a much sought-after place to live in. But beneath the surface calm and orderliness, there is a slew of rules and laws to keep the people hushed and quiescent.

Disobedience to any law even if it is patently unreasonable, is not tolerated. And the full weight of the­­ state is brought to bear on the fearless who dare to speak their minds. They thus tread the thin line between exercising their rights and breaking the law.

  • WHAT OTHERS SAY

    What is history, after all, but the application of conscience to the moments of our daily lives? These moments become history when someone, somewhere discovers in them a moral problem demanding a response. The human story was never really made by the powerful but by the lives of ordinary people, like those in this book, whose hearts burn with a flame of anger at injustice and a flame of hope for a better world. If you read this book—and you should—be prepared to have your certitudes violated. Otherwise, spend your money elsewhere.
