It's nice to read a capsule history of Singapore's history that doesn't toe the official line, but this is still laying it on a little too thick. For example, the supposedly "crash-prone trains" that carry some 3.3 million people on an average day have actually had a grand total of two (2) accidents since 1987, resulting in precisely zero (0) fatalities, and the "destitution of its underclass" is a bit much in a country where essentially everybody is entitled to a tiny but nearly-free rental flat.
This was a great read from the man himself: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Third-World-First-Singapore-1965-2000/dp/0060197765/" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Third-World-First-Singapore-1965-2000...</a>
Men in White is another good book that focuses on the PAP and their role in Singapore post independence.<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/9814266248/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_VHBTNG8N8W99H7BA00ER" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/9814266248/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_...</a>
