Dispatches from Singapore by Dr Rigor Mortis

 

The Singapore Letters

This book is a collection of letters by Dr George Caldwell, most of which were published in the main newspapers in Singapore from the late 1960s till the late 1990s. The letters were an attempt by Dr Caldwell to try and prevent the destruction of whole streets as well as individual buildings in Singapore. Quite a number of points made in his letters were taken up by the authorities in Singapore, and much remains relevant today.
