Book by Mr Ngiam Tong Dow and edited by Assoc Prof Simon Tay '86
launched
The book, "A Mandarin and the Making of Public Policy" was launched to
bring together reflections of Mr Ngiam Tong Dow, a veteran civil servant and
pro-chancellor of the NUS. Associate Professor Simon Tay of the Faculty of
Law served as editor, writing both an introduction and an epilogue, to set
the reflections in the context of the policy-making processes and politics
of Singapore. The book, supported by an NUS research grant, was launched as
part of the NUS Centennial celebrations, with welcome speeches from both NUS
President Shih Choon Fong and Mr JY Pillay, Chairman of the Singapore
Exchange. Attention has been drawn to statements in the book on the future
directions for the Singapore economy and political system, and sales have
been brisk.
