Description

Singapore's former President Wee Kim Wee (b.1915) has written not so much an autobiography but a collection of reminiscences and vignettes, opening windows onto his much-loved personality and the events of his poverty-stricken childhood and career as a clerk, journalist, diplomat and from 1985-93, as President of Singapore. His humility and sincerity shines through his straightforward tales of his experiences.
