Published by the Ministry of Culture, this publication serves as an account of the progress made since the People's Action Party (PAP) formed the government in newly self-governing Singapore in June 1959 up to April 1963, a few months before merger with Malaysia. It is presented as a success story for “democratic socialism”, with a notable focus on redistribution of wealth through social services, housing, education, amenities and so on.
