Description

From the book inset: "To the young Singaporean, Yusof bin Ishak may be a distant and unfamiliar figure in the country's recent history. However, as the first president of a newly independent island state, he left an indelible mark in the country's nation-building. He was a visionary who believed in a nation built on principles of equality and tolerance. Until his death in 1970, his conviction of a harmonious, multi-racial society propelled him on a tireless journey in service to the people. In this biography, we discover the colourful life of Yusof bin Yishak from his ancestral roots through the major events that occurred during his lifetime. This book chronicles his founding of the influential newspaper Utasan Melayu, to his subsequent appointment as Yang di Pertuan and finally his role as President of the Republic of Singapore. It is based on recent research that includes official records and personal accounts of family members, close friends, and aides. It provides a rare glimpse of Yusof bin Ishak in a new light."
