Reviews

[K · Rating 4 out of 5]

Notwithstanding the numerous grammatical and minor factual errors and contradictions throughout the book, I felt that it was a very readable introduction to Singapore's constitution, easily understood by the ordinary person. Interesting, informative and thought-inspiring.

A great introduction to Singapore's constitution and its shortcomings, if any.

An easy read without lengthy technical details. Gives a good overview of how our political system functions.
