Comet in Our Sky - Lim Chin Siong in History
Comet in Our Sky - Lim Chin Siong in History

Personal, political journey of Singapore's Lim Chin Siong.

If you're intrigued by the complexities of political narratives and appreciate digging into the fabric of Singapore's history, "Comet In Our Sky" offers a compelling glimpse into Lim Chin Siong's life. It's a deep dive into the poignant story of a man whose influence was as fleeting and brilliant as a comet, capturing an era of fervent political struggle and change.

Description

Lim Chin Siong was the most prominent left-wing leader in Singapore for a decade until he was eliminated from the political scene by the infamous Operation Coldstore on February 2, 1963. This book is an account of Lim's significance in Singapore's political developments in the decade preceding. It also contains tributes by his friends and colleagues in Singapore and Malaysia. This edition features an essay by Dr Poh Soo Kai and an extract from Lim's posthumous manuscripts. It will redefine the debate on the post-war history of both countries and the legacy of continuing political repression in them.
