Book Series: The Singapore Story by the History-makers

This book series showcases Singapore's history, through the words of the key figures themselves. Drawing on the records of the Oral History Centre at the National Archives of Singapore, this series presents transcripts of interviews with leaders from the fields of public service, politics, business, among others, with extensive annotations on biographical and historical background that make for easy reading. The series aims to serve as a valuable resource for future research, while also making the material accessible to a wider audience.
