āThere are things that I want to write about and change.ā
This is the second volume of Adrian Tanās essays on issues he cared about concerning Singapore and the world at large: our neighbour across the Causeway, office dynamics, education and parenting, race relations, animal rights, National Service and more.
His commentaries ā sharp and practical ā are presented with wisdom gained from years of legal practice and made accessible by his characteristic wit.
The writing is always purposeful. As he once said: āThere are things that I want to write about and change.ā Yet, each essay is laced with his good humour.
If I were Still King of Singapore is to If I were King of Singapore much like The Teenage Workbook is to The Teenage Textbook. They should be read together.
