In a way unique from other aspects of life, NS has spawned a discernible body of work by Singapore's writers. This book collects more than 50 of the best examples of published and new works on this subject by 30 writers, connecting past, present and future ideas and feelings about serving the nation. The works here reveal deeper layers of texture to Singaporean life and how NS strikes a deep chord in national culture. And if it is true that some of the most honest facts are to be found only in fiction, then this collection is all the more important for anyone who wants to understand Singapore." --cover page [4]. 500 $a Short stories, poems, and plays. 650 0 $a National service $z Singapore $v Fiction. 650 0 $a National service $z Singapore $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Singaporean literature (English) 650 0 $a Singaporean prose literature (English) 650 0 $a Singaporean poetry (English) 650 0 $a Singaporean drama (English) 650 7 $a Singaporean drama (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01432189 650 7 $a Singaporean literature (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01432194 650 7 $a Singaporean poetry (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01432197 650 7 $a Singaporean prose literature (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01432199 651 0 $a Singapore $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Singapore $v Poetry. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Drama. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Koh, Buck Song, $e author. $e author. 700 1 $a Bhatia, Umej, $d 1970- $e author. $e author. 700 1 $a Jeyaretnam, Philip, $e author $5 IaU 700 1 $a Pang, Alvin, $d 1972- $e author $5 IaU 700 1 $a Singh, Kirpal, Çd 1949- $e author $5 IaU 700 1 $a Yeo, Robert, $e author $5 IaU 700 1 $a Boey, Kim Cheng, $e author $5 IaU 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020536.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0BE5269CC48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
