Auteur: Thiow Kong Ti

TK TI, a surgeon, academic and educator and his son Edward, a lawyer are descendents of poor Chinese immigrants, who in the early 1900s, ventured to British Malaya and became pioneers in the then newly created rubber and tin economy. Straddling across civilizations and in search of identity, the authors have finally found it crystallized in the process of writing this book. As Singapore citizens, they are a part of an emerging post-modern Asian civilization. Having benefitted from globalization and a fusion of the world’s major civilizations, the present authors wish to share their experience and world view with readers everywhere.
