Out of stock
In his new book, Sensing Singapore: Reflections in a Time of Change, entrepreneur, thought leader and political commentator Devadas Krishnadas provides an insight into what these events say about Singapore’s present and near future. The commentaries are interwoven with the author’s personal story of his learning journey as he sets out on new professional and personal directions.
The book includes a foreword by Mr K Shanmugam, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Law as well as a note by Ms Nicole Seah, a young political activist who captured the imagination of the electorate during the 2011 General Election. They highlight the need for public intellectuals in Singapore to provide an objective discourse on issues of national importance.
