Thinking Allowed?: Politics, Fear and Change in Singapore

Is thinking allowed... in Singapore? must politics in Singapore be taboo? Need political discussion engender fear? Is the Singapore system averse to change? Can it be remade? These are the questions confronted in this collection of essays by Warren Fernandez, one of Singapore's leading political commentators.... These essays are drawn from the 'Thinking Aloud' columns on Singapore politics and society published in The Strait ?Times. Warren has also written nine fresh essays. These kick off each chapter and delve into the recurrent themes and issues that Singaporeans have been grappling with over the years, and are likely to do so for a long time to come. --- excerpts from book's cover
