The histories of Singapore

s/pores said:

the early chapters of the Singapore Story have rested on the narrative of its principled fight against the communists within the ranks of the PAP itself. This motif has become less and less sustainable, and the recognition of this development can be seen as a response to the skepticism it has generated.

Recommended by Tym: "An article on exploring alternative histories of Singapore heavily quotes bloggers. Part of a new e-journal on Singapore studies, where "intimidating academic-speak is out". "

Trackback from Defending the national scripture:

Clearly, disputing the Singapore government's conception of history is a risky endeavour. Such works would be "against public interest", that interest being not to "undermine public confidence in the Government"....
