【DESCRIPTION】
This collection of speeches, interviews and articles from Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs K. Shanmugam gives insights into his thinking on political and social issues.
It spans a period of over thirty years from 1988, when Shanmugam, then aged 29, was elected into Parliament as the youngest Member of Parliament, to 2008 and beyond, when he became a Cabinet minister holding the portfolios of Law, Foreign Affairs and Home Affairs.
The speeches start from when Shanmugam was a backbencher (for 20 years), pressing for more compensation for his residents and engaging in amusing brushes with government agencies, and continue through to when he became a Cabinet minister, enacting and changing legislation in diverse fields. They add to the perspectives on how Singapore has been governed over the last 38 years.
