In an increasingly globalised future, it seems more and more likely that our destinies will remain intertwined.” George Yeo, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Singapore Wednesday, 26 September 2012 8:00-9:30pm Recital studio, Esplanade Space is limited.

Floating on a Malayan Breeze
Two Singaporeans spent 30 days cycling through every state in Peninsular Malaysia on a daily budget of RM10 (US$3) each; then many years interviewing hundreds more people. What they found are two countries that have developed economically but are still struggling to find their souls.
“One of the best, and certainly one of the most enjoyable, single-volume introductions to both countries’ politics, economies and societies, and to their delicate sibling relationship--part envy, part rivalry, part affection.”
