Yes, your eyes are not playing tricks on you and neither did we make any alterations to the picture. Mr Tan Yong Soon had indeed published a book last year in 2007 with a foreword by Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong.
The Singapore Dream has indeed come true for Mr Tan Yong Soon, but not for many other Singaporeans who are struggling to make ends meet.
Introduction from Select Books:
“Singapore’s economic success has often been remarked upon, but this success would not have been possible without the contribution of ordinary individuals. This book includes the stories of success of just such a group of ordinary Singaporeans.
In these 23 accounts, their experiences on the road to success are distilled, and their wisdom and values shared. This book was inspired by a speech the author had given at his son’s school graduation. He realised then that there was a need to help young adults understand how to make the most of their lives. The first two chapters contain the author’s advice to young people.”
