Author Description

Includes comprehensive chapter notes, plus index. "Your Future, My Faith, Our Freedom scoops away the public-relations puff and examines the goings-on behind the facade. It finds a startling and disturbing reality. Questions about the sustainability of a system that exploits rather than inspires, subjugates rather than serves are beginning to surface. The economy, social security system, distribution of wealth, and society in general are starting to creak under the weight of four decades of authoritatian rule. Why has Singapore's economy become so shaky? Why is the CPF system in such a mess? Is the problem of income disparity more serious than the PAP lets on? This book analyses these questions and argues that without democratic reform, Singapore is headed for an increasingly troubled future."
