Singapore politics: candidly quirky and amusingly illustrated.

If you're in for a chuckle over local political humor, "Mee Siam Mai Hum" offers a candid collection of Singaporean political slips-of-the-tongue. Accompanied by lighthearted illustrations, this book isn't just about reading; it's an experience that tickles the funny bone and offers insight into the lighter side of Singapore's public discourse. It's a great conversation starter and an amusing archive that proves politics can be entertaining too.
