Comet in our sky: Lim Chin Siong in history

Lim Chin Siong was undoubtedly the most prominent left wing leader in Singapore for a decade until he was cruelly eliminated from the political scene by the infamous Operation Coldstore of 2 February 1963.
The first part of this unique book attempts to give a balanced and objective account of Lim Chin Siong's significance in Singapore's political developments in the preceding decade. The second part of this book includes tributes to Lim, mainly by several of his close political friends and colleagues in Singapore and Malaysia.
This book will undoubtedly contribute to redefining the debate on the post-war history of both territories and the legacy of continuing repression on politics in both Singapore and Malaysia.
