“Balancing the competing needs of development and economic progress with a country’s history and heritage, and the building of a common national identity, will continue to be important. We can and must do more to preserve our history and heritage in a rapidly changing environment, and find ways to pass the stories of our pioneers to the next generation.”
Shawn Seah, Seah Eu Chin - His Life & Times

“Our unique past connects us with our present, like an anchor providing ballast in the waters of an uncertain world.”
Shawn Seah, My Father's Kampung: A History of Aukang and Punggol

“If the kampung spirit is gone, like the physical kampung, we may only have
ourselves to blame.”
Shawn Seah, My Father's Kampung: A History of Aukang and Punggol

Shawn Seah, Seah Eu Chin - His Life & Times

“History is not just about words in a book, or merely stories of people long gone. History is a living story that exists alongside us. Every now and then, it is reinvigorated and becomes part of our daily lives.”
Shawn Seah, Leader and Legislator: Seah Liang Seah

“Our unique past connects us with our present, like an anchor providing ballast in the waters of an uncertain world.”
Shawn Seah, My Father's Kampung: A History of Aukang and Punggol
