Information About

A kaleidoscope of life's experiences is contained in this book as the author recounts the four score and more years that she has had the privilege of living. From the gracious days of pre-war Singapore, through the turbulent, life-threatening circumstances of the Japanese Occupation, to the present, Mrs Betty Lim has spent a lifetime devoted to other people. Blessed with a truly loving husband and an irrepressible concern for her fellow men (and women), hers has been a fulfilled life as a homemaker, entrepreneur, politician's wife, fund-raiser, teacher and designer.
