S$36.00
Old-school, industrial-style leaders are in big trouble. Having just experienced the first
small wave of globalisation, the mobile revolution and the consumer-driven economy,
the next economic cycle (2011–2016) will be one where these key trends will be at
the forefront of most businesses. Moreover, as digital technology develops further,
the pace of change will accelerate. Managers and executives need to meet these
challenges and their consequences head-on — and without fear.

how to create hit products and services that people will

JAMES GARDNER
256 pp, 216 x 138 mm, paperback
ISBN 978 981 4351 10 2
S$35.00
Leading innovation expert James Gardner argues controversially that such
performance has nothing to do with leadership heroics, being the first to market,
retaining better talent or even being plain lucky. Neither is it reliant on bigger
investments in R&D or on some magical innovation secret sauce. In fact, it is down
to companies adopting the “Sidestep & Twist” strategy. The Sidestep is taking an
existing product or service and moving it into an adjacent market. When companies
add the Twist — one of a limited set of market-specific adjustments — the chances
of getting a hit are magnified.

(from trainee buyer in an electronics store in the UK to CEO of Courts Asia) and
gives thoughtful insights into doing business in Singapore.

human brain works and seeing what is hidden in the depths of our minds, the
author demonstrates how we can transcend the limits that our mind sets us. And
consequently, we can control and overcome those automatic reactions (of fear and
anxiousness) when faced with obstacles and problems in our daily lives.

S$30.50
Everybody needs an evil plan. Everybody needs that crazy, out-there idea that allows
them to actually start doing something they love, doing something that matters.
Everybody needs an evil plan that gets them the hell out of the rat race, away from
lousy bosses, away from boring, dead-end jobs that they generally hate. After all,
life is short. Finding and implementing your own evil plan is without question one of
the greatest things you can do with the brief time you are alloted. In this irreverant
and quirky guide, MacLeod provides inspiration, and introduces like-minded people,
to living a better life.

KARI NARS
256 pp, 198 x 130 mm, paperback
ISBN 978 981 4361 12 5
S$23.95
Throughout the history of mankind, unscrupulous financial crooks have swindled
billions from their gullible victims. Bernard Madoff’s incredible $65-billion pyramid
ruined thousands of Americans, including billionaire Jewish business men. In 1925,
the illustrious Victor Lusting managed to sell the Eiffel Tower for a suitcase of cash to
a Parisian scrap merchant. In this fascinating book, Kari Nars analyses ten of the
world’s most extraordinary financial swindles. He examines the nature and working
methods of the fraudsters. What kind of people were they really? What were their
thought processes? How did they succeed in cheating thousands of wealthy and
mostly intelligent people? But one thing rings true: “If it seems too good to be true,
it probably is too good to be true!“

S$30.50
Project management has become a big part of how organisations get things done.
Managers at all levels need to take on and deliver projects. The scope of these
projects range from small projects lasting days to multi-million dollar projects taking
years. All these projects have one big thing in common: RISK. Risk happens! Things
go wrong. As many of us have learnt recently, the real world does not respect
your hopes, plans or expectations. It moves according to its own, if unexpected,
agenda. This book, by an expert in project management, provides the necessary
understanding and tools for any level manager charged with leading projects,
staying on budget and remaining on schedule.

According to the theory of “cognitive dissonance”, developed by American
psychologist Leon Festinger in 1957, human beings are hardwired for hyprocrisy.
We are programmed to justify our behaviour and beliefs, whether for good or bad.
“I am trying to lose weight, but I need my chocolate”! This fascinating book explains
why we behave in this way, the consequences and ramifications, and how we can
stop it before it gets completely out of hand. The authors present 100 scenarios
and cases of congnitive dissonance, ranging from small excesses to those that have
brought loss of wealth, extreme embarrassment and, if enough of us believe in them,
set whole communities apart.

JONATHAN GABAY
176 pp, 216 x 138 mm, paperback
ISBN 978 981 4328 20 3
S$23.95
Sam Roberts is the head of one of the world’s most successful and stylish branding
agencies and in much demand by his corporate clients. Like the brands he
promotes, Sam exudes a sense of control and success. Then suddenly, recession
deepens and advertising budgets slump. Global confidence is at an all time low.
Consumers are running out of trust and cash. Cynicism is the new capitalism.
Worst is to come for Sam — a routine health check-up uncovers a veracious form
of cancer, and Sam’s personal and business life is turned completely upside down.
But these events are the catalysts for change in Sam’s life. The Brand Messiah
is a fitting modern-day parable and a compelling apocryphal tale for our times.

why banking is no longer a place you go to, but something

BRETT KING
360 pp, 227 x 152 mm, cased
ISBN 978 981 4382 12 0
S$46.00
In Bank 2.1, Brett King looks at the latest trends that are redefining financial services
and payments — from the mobile wallet and tablet computing to the operationalising
of the cloud and the explosion of social media. He explores how social media has
exposed pricing, over-regulation, outdated processes and poor policy; how mobile
technology is completely changing the context of banking; how customer advocacy
is killing traditional brand marketing; and the growth of the ‘de-banked’ consumer
who doesn’t need a bank at all. Bank 2.1 shows that the gap between customer and
financial services players is rapidly growing, leaving massive opportunities for new,
non-bank competitors to totally disrupt the industry.

BRETT KING

In a world where the fastest growing interactions with banks are through Internet, mobile
phones and social media, what does the bank of 2015 look like? How will we support a
50% reduction in the number of branches in the next few years? Where will all the tellers go,
and what happens to all that real estate? Branch Today, Gone Tomorrow is a detailed, multifaceted business case for the reprioritisation of branch banking in the channel mix. This short
e-book explores economics, behavioural shifts, trust issues facing banks, new retail distribution
models and drivers challenging the branch-centric models of yesteryear.

From the colonial glamour of the E&O Hotel to the sandy beaches of Batu
Ferringhi; from the bustle of its shophouses, tradesmen and hawkers to the
serenity of its myriad temples, churches and shrines; from the traditional
customs and art of the Straits Chinese (Peranakan) community to the glittering
malls and nightlife — Penang is a fascinating mix of East and West, past and
present, tradition and modernity.
Filled with stunning photographs of Penang’s vibrant yet harmonious blend
of culture, cuisine, architecture, nature and the arts, Images of Penang presents
a panoramic look at the island, its people and their lifestyles.

The uniquely Singaporean culture that locals have gotten so used to — such
as the curious fondness for acronyms and queuing, the strange practice of
reserving tables with packets of tissue paper and the Singlish conundrum
— is what the expats have learnt to embrace and even come to love. Great
Expatations peels away the many layers that make up this vibrant sunny island
from the expat insider’s point of view.

S$42.00
With the completion and opening of Marina Bay Sands, Singapore’s skyline
has been transformed. The iconic form of the three towers — supporting the
outrageously cantilevered sky park — is the new symbol of Singapore, one
to rival the Merlion. This book presents a never-seen-before collection of
photographs, which capture in stunning detail the architectural highlights of

there are the landmark Petronas Twin Towers as well as Menara KL Tower.
In addition, excellent shopping options can be found at KLCC, Mid Valley
Mall and Pavilion. Filled with stunning photographs of Kuala Lumpur’s vibrant
culture, cuisine, architecture, nature and the arts, Images of Kuala Lumpur is the
perfect introduction for those keen on a visit to Kuala Lumpur, and an excellent

exotic encounters and erotic escapades
HANS FRITSCHI
256 pp, 198 x 130 mm, paperback
ISBN 978 981 4328 35 7
S$22.00
In this ground-breaking book, Hans Fritschi shares his experiences of gay life
in Asia. Through the eyes of his flamboyant heroine Suzy Size who is based
in Thailand, Hans describes the exotic encounters and erotic escapades of
a modern gay traveller in Asia. Suzy Size chases after money boys and is
“herself” chased by sex hungry young men who go after older Western men. Or
is it just their money? Suzy has many strange, absurd and hilarious encounters
all over Asia. While not a gay guide, Wanderlust in Gay Asia makes a good
and entertaining read, covering everything from pubs and nightlife to getting
“picked up”.

Having lost their “impregnable fortress” of Singapore, the British were diverted

did they prepare to return to their erstwhile colonies? This book goes behind

Till today, the myth persists that it was due to the British forces’ being caught
off-guard that Singapore fell to the Japanese. This book offers an alternative
insight. Operation Matador and the elaborate planning and preparations
done by the British demonstrate that they fully expected the Japanese to attack
Singapore from the rear — but they failed to carry out the plan. The question
that remains: If implemented, might Operation Matador have stopped the
Japanese?

a record of civilian internment in world war II
GEORGE PEET
272 pp, 215 x 140 mm, paperback
ISBN 978 981 4328 85 2
S$28.00
When the Japanese captured Singapore in February 1942, the European
population was rounded up and sent to internment camps, where they were
kept till the end of the war. This is the story of one such internee — George L.
Peet — whose diaries and records preserve a stunningly vivid portrait of the
triumph of the human spirit in those trying times. With a sympathetic eye, Peet
reveals the strength as well as the ugliness of human nature. Food, comfort,
survival, morale, and a longing to be reunited with his wife and children
— fortunately evacuated to Australia — form the main part of the author’s
thoughts, as well as the backbone of this riveting record.

S$37.29
He’s almost the invisible man of diplomacy and yet the job of UN Secretary
General is to save the world! Though as quiet and self-effacing as a church
mouse, Ban Ki-moon is billed as some Superman. Reappointed unanimously
— and when does the UN ever unanimously agree on anything? — the former
South Korean foreign minister tangles with dictators, leads the West into
addressing global warming and fights entrenched bureaucracy. So who is this
Ban Ki-moon, the quietest Korean? “Giants of Asia” author Tom Plate meets the
UNSG and explores the many moods of our secular pope.

Expelled from the former Siam by a military coup in 2006, the cell-phone
billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra retreated to a villa in Dubai to bide his time
and plot his triumphant return. While in exile in Dubai, Thaksin tells his tale of
triumph and betrayal to American journalist Tom Plate as well as his personal
thoughts about poverty reduction, power politics, the future of democracy in
Asia — and why he prefers to lose at golf. In this volume, Plate masterfully
dissects the mogul who ran his country like a CEO until the tanks came to show
who was boss.

Political genius is never without controversy, or without mystery. This is what
makes it so interesting and so rare. So who is Lee Kuan Yew, the celebrated
Asian political intellect, foremost exponent of Asian values and nation-builder?
This succinct, penetrating and candid book on Lee Kuan Yew represents the
Asian legend’s first extended conversation with a Western journalist. The
result is often surprising, sometimes startling, occasionally humorous — and
never, ever dull. Enter into the mind of this controversial but internationally
respected political leader through the eyes and ears of one of America’s
leading journalists on Asia.

He began his professional career as a family physician but wound up
prescribing innovative political medicines for the entire nation that remain
controversial even today. Was he exactly the bold and fearless policy doctor
that the troubled body politic of Malaysia needed? Or was he just another
mendacious mediocrity with a record of persistent misdiagnoses, phony
remedies and self-serving justifications? Only history’s judgement can offer the
final verdict. In this volume, Malaysia’s most famous former PM reveals to Tom
Plate his views on governing, on Islam, on Jews, on the West and on Malays
that are striking in historical sweep and contemporary relevance.

ISBN 978 967 3035 92 2
S$22.50
Dr Mahathir Mohamad governed Malaysia from 1981 to 2003, during which
he wrote and received many letters from world leaders. The 71 letters presented
in this volume are unique as they argue the contrasting positions on terrorism,
globalisation, economic and diplomatic relations, as well as wars and conflicts.
The correspondence presents a less-than-ideal world for the reader to inhabit.
An excellent book to be enjoyed, on many different levels, by all who love
politics, diplomacy and international relations.

This book comprises articles selected mainly from the author’s column, Abiding
Times, in theSun, Malaysia, as well as those with Tengku Zatashah Idris, Syed
Haizam Jamalullail, Sharyn Shufiyan and Quek Sue Yian. Published between
March 2008 and August 2010, they were written in the period after Tunku Zain’s
return from the US and up to the Proclamation of the 11th Yang di-Pertuan Besar.
From calling for the checks and balances so crucial to the effective functioning
of a democratic society to be strengthened, to reminding all participants in
a democratic society of their rights and responsibilities, the author writes in
language that is easy to read and with a wry sense of humour.

Although the late Syed Hussein Alatas (1928–2007), a Malaysian sociologist,
is widely considered to be one of Malaysia’s most prominent intellectuals, there
has never been a study portraying him in the very activity which brought his
learning to the world — writing. The first of its kind, this biography focuses on
Syed Hussein Alatas’ writing life — when, where and how he wrote; how his
most famous work, The Myth of the Lazy Native, got published; his relationship
with editors, his connection to Virginia Woolf, why he liked Sergio Leone and
Russian writers, and much more.

“I do not in any way claim to be the exemplar of my generation — but
if young Malaysians are to one day take on the mantle of leadership,
if we are to move Malaysia forward, then we must stand up and
articulate our vision for it.”
Writer and politician Nik Nazmi has always been vocal in articulating his
vision for a better Malaysia. This compilation of over 40 essays written between
2001 and 2011 covers a variety of topics ranging from politics and economics
to law and religion, and parallels his involvement in the politics of Malaysia.

NIK NAZMI NIK AHMAD
136 pp, 198 x 130 mm, paperback

S$12.45
In this book, Nik Nazmi argues that Malays must move forward to survive and
succeed in facing today’s challenges — the emerging new politics, forging
a people’s economy, resolving the education question, the unravelling of the
social fabric and the position of Islam in a multiracial society. While race
will remain important as an identity, Moving Forward challenges the basis of
the racial zero sum-game, as ultimately, the future of the Malays cannot be
separated from that of Malaysians in general.

S$19.95
Straight talk on Malaysian politics is what you get in this book. No mincing of
words, no waffling. In other words, no bullshit. Writer Kee Thuan Chye is noted
for his candid and honest commentaries on Malaysian politics. In these pages are
his incisive interpretations of what is going wrong in Malaysia and suggestions
of what needs to be done to correct the ills. He does not hold back his punches
when he wallops the Prime Minister and some of his Cabinet members. He speaks
out without fear or favour in interviews done with him by other media. From these
and the poems and excerpts from his plays included here, you hear the voice of
a Malaysian who cares enough for his country to speak up for its good.

S$35.50
Hun Sen of Cambodia is a fully updated biography of the Cambodian leader
whose private life has until now been a closely guarded secret. This volume is
based on several hours of interviews with Hun Sen, his wife Bun Rany, son Hun
Manet, other family members and associates. The book tells through their eyes
the history of the emergence through slaughter of the people of Cambodia. Using
recently declassified archival documents, the book chronicles Hun Sen’s life from
obscurity as a pagoda boy to strongman status. It reveals his life under the Khmer
Rouge regime, his escape to Vietnam and triumphant return to liberate his country
from genocide, and his emergence as the longest-serving leader in Southeast Asia.

Singapore Correspondent is a collection of eye-witness dispatches, sent from
Singapore to London, of five years of Singapore’s colourful political past. They
cover a period of living turbulently and sometimes dangerously. This was a time
in the mid-1950s and early-1960s when Singapore was emerging from British
colonial rule and many important events which have long been forgotten are
brought to life by the writer, who lived through them in Singapore, though he was
viewing Singapore through “outside eyes”.

S$46.00
Gardens have always been central to Singapore’s identity and global positioning.
Now, a fresh era has blossomed with Gardens by the Bay. Since the 1960s, this
young nation has cultivated its international reputation as a “Garden City”, a citystate adorned by gardens as a high priority in urban planning. In the 21st century,
a paradigm shift is being carefully nurtured — as Singapore becomes a “City in
a Garden”, where the whole country is one big garden, and urban development
is fully integrated and immersed amidst greenery and flora. The primary icon of
this groundbreaking model is Gardens by the Bay. Plants from little corners of
the globe and sustainable technology at the cutting-edge are brought together
and harnessed. The fruits of these efforts include botanical landmarks such as
the vertical verdure of the Supertrees and two cooled conservatories introducing
“perpetual spring” to this equatorial isle. This commemorative volume tells the story
of the seeding of Gardens by the Bay, from the germination of the concept to first
flowering and harvest with the official opening in 2012.

Sacred Tattoos of Thailand explores the fascinating centuries-old tradition of
Sak Yan tattoos, tracing the spiritual art form from Thailand back to its roots
in Cambodia and India. The tattoos are believed to imbue the wearer with
special powers and protection to help them in their everyday lives, but are also
deeply entwined in the Buddhist moral code. Through engaging expert text,
more than 180 full colour photographs and unparalleled access to the greatest
living masters, many whom have never allowed photography in their salas
before, this book presents a groundbreaking work on this powerful cultural
and spiritual tradition.

The spectacular flame tree, the refreshing bougainvillea and the magnificent
orchid thrive in the Malayan region. Such plants can be astonishingly productive
since their life cycles do not depend on climatic changes. Many shrubs and
young trees will grow fast if well tended, and a beautiful garden takes only a few
months to develop. Gardening in the Tropics offers invaluable advice on how
to establish a luxuriant tropical garden that will certainly meet the needs of all
gardeners in the Malayan region and in other parts of the wet tropics.

Thailand’s political heavyweights. But her relentless efforts as Director of Thailand’s

In hidden alleys and on invisible streets lies an underworld privy only to those who know
where to find it. It is a world built on trust, loyalty, blood and fueled by money and power.
Foo Yin Tung has worked hard to get to where he is. He now oversees his gang’s online
gambling casinos and has a plan to expand its territory — a plan that will rid him of a
rival gang. But blood begets blood and Yin Tung soon finds himself embroiled in the middle
of a war for territory and pride, and to protect the ones he loves. Immerse yourself in this
compelling, gritty and honest account of one man’s life in the underbelly of Singapore.

FOO YIN TUNG
224 pp, 198 x 130 mm, paperback, ISBN 978 981 4302 95 1, S$18.50
As a child, Yin Tung seemed to have a particular affinity for trouble. Despite his best
intentions, his actions and decisions always seemed to land him on the wrong side of
the law. With piercing honesty and brazen boldness of youth, Yin Tung recounts his
experiences of being in a gang, his brushes with the law and examines the events that
brought him there. More than just a shocking story of a boy losing his way, The Right
Mistakes is about a boy trying to make sense of his life and change it for the better.

Putting the Boot In is one man’s account about life as an expat in the six years he
lived in Singapore. Written by a professional football coach who once worked in the
S-league, it is a frank inside look into the highs and the lows of life in the Lion City. With
the highs come all the spoils and trappings of success — parties, women and mixing
with celebrities. The lows see him caught up in corruption, betrayal, alchoholism,
depression, jail and finally deportation.

S$18.60
In Nightingale Songs, survivors of domestic violence share their personal stories
and professionals talk about their involvement in this challenging field and what
their experiences have taught them. This book provides useful information for those
considering working in the field of domestic violence, especially the importance of selfcare, and will speak to anyone whose life has been personally touched by domestic
violence. The diversity of stories reflect Singaporean society, illustrating that this social
problem is not limited to one class or ethnic group but crosses all boundaries of race,
religion, education and socio-economic background.

S$14.90
Stigmatised by the sticky label “ex-offender”, many ex-offenders have found the path to
restarting their lives rocky and difficult. They are released from prison or rehabilitation
centres, only to find themselves imprisoned by society’s negative perceptions of
them. The Yellow Ribbon Project is an initiative by SCORE (Singapore Corporation
of Rehabilitative Enterprises) to help ex-offenders reintegrate into society. This book
comprises 14 stories of ex-offenders who have managed to break out of the ‘second
prison’, with the help of SCORE and the Yellow Ribbon Project, and made a change
for the better in their lives.

ISBN 978 967 3570 09 6
S$11.50
Taking the Bull by The Horns! A Journey of Cancer Survivors aptly describes the attitudes
of all the cancer survivors who participated in this project. This book carries the personal
accounts of the fears, tears and triumphs each survivor went through on the road to
recovery. Even when many hurdles had been overcome, one main source of anxiety — a
relapse — remains deep within. This book is about sharing the intimate emotions with
the hope that other cancer survivors will not feel that cancer is a lonely and unbeatable
journey; and that those without cancer will have a better understanding of what the
disease/condition does, not just to the survivors, but also to care and support givers.

160 pp, 198 x 130 mm, paperback, ISBN 978 981 4346 67 2, S$25.00
One of football’s most divisive and polarising figures, Alexander Chapman Ferguson
has the honour of being both adored by Manchester United’s legion of fans around
the world, and loathed by more than his fair share of enemies and detractors of the
non-United persuasion. Famous for his animated, expletive-laden rants and gruff
impatience both on and off the field, ferocious “Fergie” has earned his stripes as the
Red Devils’ longest-serving, record-breaking manager.

Jack Wilson takes a humorous, often tongue-in-cheek look at the man who at 67 years
of age, is still regarded as the poster boy for bad behaviour. From Keith Richards’ —
or Keef as he’s affectionately known — meteoric rise to fame with the Stones to his
rollercoaster years of drugs and sex and subsequent mellowing into hip geriatric, no
stone is left unturned as Wilson uncovers the timeless “King of Cool” and his wild,
crazy peers of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

Loved as much for his fluid fighting style as his colourful personality and brazen prematch hype, Muhammad Ali is widely considered to be the greatest heavyweight
boxer of all time. From Olympic gold medallist to cultural icon and fearless freedom
fighter, Steve Dawson takes a candid, honest look at the man who, amidst racial and
religious turbulence in 1960s white America, soared to his destiny as “The Greatest”.

VERNETTA LOPEZ

You probably know her as Denise from “Under One Roof” or one-third of the hilarious
Morning Express crew on Class95FM. Now read all about Vernetta Lopez in her tell-all
book. Memoirs of a DJ is an honest account of where she’s come from, what she’s been
through and what’s next in her life. Laugh, cry, relate and celebrate with her as she
details all the challenges and triumphs of her personal life, her family and her career,
and other insights she’s found in the people she’s met in this crazy world of showbiz.
All that being said, at the end of the day, you’ll see that at whatever stage you’re at,
life after all is a constant work in progress.

buster and high-flier, and details the highly publicised cases he handled including
the Adrian Lim murders, and the Pan-El and JB Jeyaretnam cases. It also describes

368 pp, 198 x 130 mm, paperback, ISBN 978 981 4302 77 7, S$18.50
In this beautifully crafted story, the author Li Lienfung recounts her parents’ tumultuous
long-distance relationship and explores its effects on her and her sister. Spanning a
century of the family’s history (1860–1960), Li tells of her American Chinese father,
Dr. Li Kuo Ching, successful entrepreneur and brilliant engineer who discovered
tungsten, a strategic metal at that time. Their mother, Luo Bu Ge, was a simple but
smart and inquisitive woman; but being born at the end of the Qing Dynasty, she had
to conform to the traditions of the times.

The tumultuous events of the first half of the 20th century in China have been told in
numerous books. What is exceptional about Lynn Pan’s account, however, is that she
tells the story through a number of interlocking portraits with historical insight and an
intuition for Chinese character and behaviour. No reader interested in China will be
indifferent to this book, for few writers have told its story with so sure a grasp of the
Chinese psyche.
the food gurus
STEPHEN VINES
256 pp, 216 x 138 mm, paperback, ISBN 978 981 4361 07 1, S$34.50
The recent great upsurge of interest in food and eating has been largely personality driven.
This book looks at 20 outstanding individuals — the food gurus — who have made a major
contribution to the way food is produced and prepared, and to our eating habits. The
book describes their contribution and background, and locates their contribution within the
context of the development of cooking, eating and society. Quirky in places, each profile
ends with lessons and recipes to give a ‘taste’ of the food each guru has developed
(e.g. Julia Child’s Beouf Bourguignon, Jamie Oliver’s Awesome Spinach and Ricotta
Cannelloni).

When a letter arrives from his dying father, the life Anil has carefully constructed
in the city shatters. He leaves his friends and pregnant girlfriend, and his work
as a cartoonist to journey home to the town he ran away from three years earlier
when his mother died. There, in the short time left, he attempts to uncover his
father’s ambitious political plans for him. He stumbles upon his mother’s secret
collection of paintings and is forced to re-evaluate her art and what she taught
him when he was a boy. All these discoveries pull him back to the life he wanted
to leave behind. With vibrant characters and a quiet prose, the novel explores
the universal themes of legacy and the complexity of inheritance against a
backdrop of political conflict in contemporary Malaysia.

The Embrace of Harlots is a sizzling tale set in Hong Kong over a six-month
period in 1987, during the twilight era of British colonial rule. Hong Kong was
at that time a symbol of the power and success of free-wheeling capitalism, which
everybody wanted to emulate. Through the eyes of the three main characters —
Suen, Po-Chee and Amber — a number of the great human themes are played
out: the balance between the individual and the family, the effects of foreign
occupation, the clash of cultures, the search for identity and the meaning of
success, among others.

into the swirling brew that is colonial society in 1930s Singapore: a society
of tuans and towkays, Babas and babus, where race is everything and even
love cannot be wholly colour-blind. Never far away is Chiang’s mentor, the
unflappable D’Almeida, who possesses a shrewd investigative streak and uses
unorthodox methods that result in his young protégé Chiang being caught up
in a succession of captivating adventures. The Advocate’s Devil is the first of a

The War is over, the Union Jack flies again over the Municipal Building. Life
has come full circle. Or has it? The old certainties are gone and the British
are not universally welcomed to take their former place. Malaya is in ferment
and the day of reckoning has come for those who fought for the Japanese,
with the Japanese and against the Japanese. The air is rife with suspicion and
everyone’s loyalty is in question. Dennis Chiang and his friends are drawn into
the chaotic world of post-war Singapore, where accounts must be settled and
the colour of justice is not black and white but grey. This is the long-awaited
final installment of Walter Woon’s exceptional The Advocate’s Devil trilogy.

224 pp, 198 x 130 mm, ISBN 978 981 4382 67 0, S$18.60
Singapore got sexy and Neil Humphreys got jealous. After five years chasing echidnas
and platypuses in Australia, Neil returns to Singapore to see if the rumours were
true. Like an old girlfriend getting a lusty makeover, the island transformed while he
was away — throwing up casinos and theme parks; building bridges, linking forests,
encouraging Singaporeans to work, rest and play (preferably at a casino, but not for
free); and even giving the political opposition more power than ever before. With
Humphreys’ characteristic wit, Return to a Sexy Island provides an insightful account
of new Singapore — its best bits, its ugly bits and, most importantly of all, what it’s
really like to pee in the world’s best toilet. Every Singapore resident and visitor should
read this book.

for weekend playthings. But Scott couldn’t give a toss. He’s club captain, a millionaire
and married to sexy Girl Power singer. As long as he delivers on the pitch, he can do
whatever he likes off it. Until he sleeps with his best mate’s wife. Keeping the affair out
of the tabloids and the tweets isn’t easy, particularly as his old-school manager, Charlie,
loves a bung almost as much as he loves a headline. With a team of investigative
reporters struggling to expose the sleaze behind the EPL spin doctors, will Scott and
Charlie survive? In a world where the only currency is fame, how much is Scott willing
to sacrifice to stay in the game?

The Complete Eh, Goondu! combines — in one volume — two of Singapore’s best-selling
humour titles: Eh, Goondu! and Lagi Goondu. Eh, Goondu! published in 1982 was the
first book on Singlish. It was the first to put in print Singlish words that previously were only
spoken. Eh, Goondu! sparked national debate among government ministers, academics
and the public. Eventually, it was accepted that Singlish was part of the Singaporean way
of life. Lagi Goondu! was the follow-up title with more patois.

Manglish is a dictionary-style pocket book with proper English definitions for laid-back
Malaysian-style “Manglish”. Manglish is a Malaysian form of English which Malaysian
locals use to express more effectively or to make the other party feel more at ease. This
book will help readers understand — or better yet, astound local Malaysians with their
ability to comprehend — or even speak Manglish. Granted, most Malaysians are capable
of speaking proper English, but when one wishes to throw grammatical rules to the wind
and have fun with new vocabulary, Manglish is the thing for you.

Chinese idioms are a fun and playful part of the Chinese language.
Most of the time, they consist of phrases or sentences that do not
literally mean what they say. Even if you know every word that you
see in a Chinese idiom, you may still have difficulty understanding the
idiom completely. This four-volume series will teach you an idiom a
day, in a fun and interesting way! Go ahead. Learn the history, absorb
the wisdom and work the lingo!

all about true wealth
a book for kids on how to manage money and how to manage
without it
ISBN 978 981 4361 15 6
Some people have plenty of material things and never seem to be happy… and then there
are others with very few possessions, who find absolute bliss in the simple things that life
brings them. All about True Wealth introduces children to Fabulous Farmer Phil and his
Funky Fiscal Chickens who share their secrets of how they can make — and care for —
their own ‘nest eggs’.
all about goal setting
the simple and effective step-by-step guide to achieving success —
for people of all ages
ISBN 978 981 4361 18 7
Did you know that 85% of people don’t set goals for themselves, and of the 15% who do,
only 5% write them down? These people are said to be 50 to 100 times more successful
than the rest of the population. Which group do you belong to? In this easy to read, stepby-step guide for people of all ages, Julie shares the secrets of successful people who have
turned their dreams into reality.
all about choices
the simple program assisting children to effectively manage their
problems or challenges
ISBN 978 981 4361 16 3
Many people focus on, and talk about, negative things such as what they don’t want,
what they don’t like about themselves and what is going wrong in their world. But when
they focus on the problems, all they tend to see are... the problems! If we want to find
solutions, it is more logical, and healthier to choose to think about positive outcomes. All
about Choices encourages children to develop the valuable habit of planning ahead and
making ‘conscious’ positive choices.
all about attitude

ISBN 978 981 4361 17 0

gossip, health and creativity. It contains universal age-old wisdom that all effective people
use to achieve their success. If you want your children to thrive in this new millennium,
they’ll need to read this little gem of a book.

Adolescence is nothing short of a milestone in a child’s life. Raging hormones cause irreversible
mutations to the body — physically and mentally — which bring on waves of social changes
too. Teens do not only look different — taller, bigger, with more body contours — they smell
different too! Adolescence is both an exciting and challenging time for teens and their parents
or guardians! A better understanding of the development process may help smoothen the
roller-coaster ride!

Quiet, dreamy and sometimes melancholic, Diana has a SECRET dream... to be a MODEL at
the school concert! But while BFFs Liza and Rani get selected for leading roles, Diana only
gets a backstage assistant’s job for the fashion show. Feeling disappointed, especially after a
boy dumps her, Diana struggles with low self-esteem, poor body image and school pressures.
Worse, her parents don’t undertand what she’s going through. Diana decides on a Plan of
Action but will it get her what she wants or will it lead to danger?

Everything is going great for Rani. She has a loving family, a comfortable home and a nice
room all to herself. She does well in school and the best thing is that she has the best of
friends. One day, her cosy lifestyle is shattered when a cousin she doesn’t know well moves
in... and shares her room. Learning to live with others, accepting their good and bad points,
negotiating and compromising on things is part of growing up. Sometimes, life can be stressful
for teenagers, just the same as it can for adults.

At 14, Liza finds herself changing her sneakers for heels; evolving from a T-shirted tomboy to
a fervent fashionista (if only!). Being 14 also means being allowed to do some things for the
first time — like hanging out with friends at the Mall (without parents!), wearing make-up and
high heels. Liza and her friends find out about love and what teens will do to be accepted and
loved. More interestingly, they hear stuff teens do, some of which are daring and cool but not
safe or legal. So their parents CANNOT know because it can lead to trouble — a lot of trouble!
