This is British Malaya in the mid-1950s, where the British administration is preparing to hand power over to the local Malays, whilst guarding against communist terrorists, hatred and racial violence that threatened independence (Merdeka) and democracy for the colony.

If there ever is a book that the Singapore Tourism Board does not want published, Singapore Sucks! is it. Tourists looking for the same old tired propaganda about a sterilised shopping paradise should go waste their money on government-owned dailies. Singapore Sucks! is a bouquet of sarcasm, humour, insolent honesty and the discerning reader may even recognise a hint of patriotic fervour.
