Wah ! After Lee Kuan Yew, SR Nathan . Now Mah Bow Tan to write book

Booklet of Mah Bow Tan's thoughts on housing
By UMA SHANKARI

THE Ministry of National Development (MND) is publishing a booklet
containing the musings of its minister, Mah Bow Tan, in a bid to reach
out to more Singaporeans and explain housing policies.
In response to a query from BT, Mr Mah said that the booklet will
contain nine commentaries that encapsulate his thoughts on
Singapore's public housing programme over the past five decades.
This should give readers an insight into the thinking behind the
policies that shape the system Singapore has today.
Said Mr Mah: 'Today, eight in 10 Singaporeans stay in HDB flats,
and nine in 10 of them own the flats they live in. This is the
highest home-ownership rate in the world.
No other country comes close.
'But, public housing is not just about putting roofs over people's heads.
It is also about building inclusive homes and communities.
'This has not been an easy effort. There is a finite budget to work
with, and policy trade-offs to be made.
'With this booklet, I hope to reach out to more Singaporeans, to
tell them about our ongoing housing story, and to enhance their
understanding of the policy considerations behind this success story,' he added.
The booklet will be released in either February or March this year.
MND plans to distribute the booklets to relevant entities such as
HDB branch offices, town councils, public libraries, and academic institutions.
In addition, the booklet could be sold in selected bookstores.
It might also be available in a Mandarin version, sources said.

Time for me to write a book to explain my policies.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

I know no one will buy except his own hardcore RC guys.
Back then GCT had an biography out roght after he became PM. No one bought the paperback and tons of it was unsold.

Now all these ministers wanted to be authors too!

 

[myfoot123]

This is their last straw in preparation for the coming election, self glorifying to the maximum. I am sure our Straits Times reporters are now busy helping them out in their book too.

 

[suicidalpap]

LKY probably came out a decree to all ministers to at least write a book before this election.

They will tell you, it will take 100 man years to audit the accounts, by the time YOG celebrates their centennial.

hi there

1. sheep, erh! horse must be damn free to write some articles.
2. to defend his policies or what.
3. it would be interesting to know who would buy such stuffs and its turnover.
4. just see whether some dogs would foot 10k for such thing.

Next,khaw boon wan will write about his heart bypass surgery

Hope there will be a chapter in detail how his bypass only costed him $8, whereas a lesser mortal would be charged thousands !

More like ask them to write a book before the big loss .

So they least make some money before they retire .

aftr i was defeated by opposition i know i stand no chance at all to enter politic. Luckily in Singapore there is under table method . I kana piggy back into parliment using GRC system which opposition was quite weak then. It was almost a walk thru for me as I stand no chance in going for single ward.
