RECORDING THE NATION’S DIVERSE ACHIEVEMENTS
In 50 short years, Singapore has turned many of its aspirations into reality. As part of SG50, the World Scientific Publishing Company commissioned a multi-volume book series to document stories on important aspects of our country’s development. MDA supported the funding of 25 books in the series, titled Singapore’s 50 Years of Nation Building.
The series captures the voices of pioneers, experts, scholars and politicians on topics like urban planning, real estate, environment, defence, healthcare, transportation and women. Three Chinese books on literature and culture were also published. The titles are available on hard cover, soft cover, e-books, and mobile formats.
Prominent titles in the series are showcased below.
“Learning how Singapore has overcome land constraints by exporting its real estate expertise was an eye-opener. For example, Singapore’s Raffles City integrated development has been taken to China by a local developer – there are now eight Raffles City developments in China!”

“Producing 50 Years of Technical Education in Singapore was quite an experience. Much has been disclosed in the course of producing and publishing the book, including the history, constant concerns and interest of the government to develop an economically viable populace, and the challenges faced and conquered in the early days of local education.”
