It is nice to drink your morning coffee with a novel or a
book at hand to start your day with good imaginative works. I came across with my old collection
biography book of GERALD DE CRUZ also known as Haji Abdul Karim Abdullah
of Singapore (Born February 1920).
His book (Colliding Worlds a Memoirs of a Singapore Maverick) depicts
the complexity and unique culture of Singapore that comprises of several cultures
around Asia and Europe of course. From
the British colony(1824), Singapore was created as a nation ready to embrace the
cultural variety that surrounds the small country.
Today Singapore is a small country in terms
of Geography but rich in knowledge, technology, and culture. Singapore is truly an example of cultures,
religions, & nations united.
