		<title>Greetings from Perth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A month ago I decided to focus on my writing and ignore all the excitement around me. I was determined; very determined not to celebrate Christmas.

		<title>Cambodia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Cambodia is famous for its ancient temples, like Angkor Wat and a civilization which flourished from approximately the 9th to 15th centuries.

		<title>Delight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is something very delightful about seeing one&#8217;s books on the shelves, anywhere, even if it is on one&#8217;s own shelf. But imagine my surprise and delight when I spotted a book that some friends and I worked on at the end of a year long civil society project, at the Siem Reap airport. Sitting [...]]]></description>

		<title>All on paper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been working on a book about my experiences and my perspectives on the political and social history of Singapore and how the political and social events impacted on the everyday lives of Singaporeans.

		<description><![CDATA[“…and the reserves were Singapore’s ammunition for a rainy day.” He noted that in difficult times, countries which did not have such firepower have been forced to borrow money and this has often shaken confidence in the country.
