World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd George Yeo: Musings (In 3 Volumes)
Musings Series 1 | Musings Series 2| Musings Series 3Over sessions which lasted two to three hours each time, every week for half a year, George Yeo met and mused over a wide range of topics with writer Woon Tai Ho and research assistant Keith Yap. Speaking from notes, he began with himself and his hope for Singapore, and then spanned over a wide range of subjects — from the importance of human diversity and Singapore's reflection within itself of the world, to history, politics, economics, philosophy, taijigong and religion. He gives his views on India, China, ASEAN, Europe, the US and other parts of the world, and how Singapore's history and destiny are connected to all of them. The style is conversational and anecdotal.George Yeo: Musings is exactly that — musings. Some themes recur throughout the book which reflect his view of life. But there is no grand theory. He does not expect all of his reflections to be of interest to everyone, but he hopes that everyone will find something of interest.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Romance Of The Three Kingdoms: Strategies And Ruses
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang fought many wars. Throughout, they did not have surveillance drones and binoculars to spy on the enemy. Radios and telephones had not been invented yet, so they could not even communicate with their own soldiers. How did they even manage to organise a war, much less win it? They did it with their intelligence and quick thinking! In the third and final book of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, learn about the strategies and ruses practiced by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang!
