I am happy to announce the publication of my first book, Singapore version 2.0: Alternative proposals for a better Singapore.

This 384-page book includes over 90 of my best articles written over the past four years, covering a wide range of topics including politics, the economy, values, race, religion, the media and democracy. Most of them are edited and improved versions of my blog articles. I have also included some articles which have not been published on my blog before.

One objective of this book is to raise funds for my potential election campaign, if the Workers’ Party fields me as a candidate in the next election. Political fund-raising is a key task for any aspiring candidate, even in Singapore. In some countries like the US, the amount of money a candidate raises is often seen as a measure of popular support. But to be clear, the purchase of my book is a commercial transaction, not a political donation.

In addition to the above, through this book I also hope to raise Singaporeans’ awareness of political issues and alternative policy ideas that seldom get an airing outside of the Internet. In doing so, I hope to reach out to more Singaporeans who don’t read local political blogs or online forums.

My book is now on sale at my blog. You can go to geraldgiam.sg/book to place an order and it will be mailed to you within three working days. The book is also available at Popular bookstores and Select Books. For local orders, the book costs just S$21.90 online and S$23.54 at bookstores.

I appeal to you to support me by buying a copy of my book. Please consider buying a few more for your friends and family too. You may also choose to place a large order and let me give those copies to selected residents whom I meet during my constituency walkabouts.
