My Journey in Politics: Practical Lessons in Leadership shares the author's journey in Singapore politics from 1991 to 2011. Tracing what he and different groups of people he worked with across the government ministries and agencies, grassroots organisations and charitable groups — both volunteers and staff — did together to make Singapore a better and safer place, it also shares his leadership style in action.
