To celebrate Singapore's fiftieth anniversary for its independence
from Malaysia in 2015, 35 students, academics and activists came
together to discuss and write about pioneering Singaporean human
rights activists and their under-reported stories in Singapore. The
city-state is known for its remarkable economic success while
having strict laws on individual freedom in the name of national
security, public order and racial harmony. Singapore's tough stance
on human rights, however, does not negate the long and persistent
existence of a human rights society that is little known to the
world until today. This volume, composed of nine distinctive
chapters, records a history of human rights activists, their
campaigns, main contentions with the government, survival
strategies and other untold stories in Singapore's first 50 years
of state-building.
