Information About

Fearful that the memories and richness of kampung and rural life might be lost forever, Peter Soh compiled this book about Singaporean life captured in catchphrases, idioms, names of places, cross language phrases and parlance, and some Singlish terms. It aims to remind us that if it were not for the sacrifices of yesterday, we won't have today, and if we do not work harmoniously as a nation today, we might not have tomorrow.
