Proudly Singaporean - My Passport to a Challenging Future

Visionary entrepreneur's love letter to Singapore's future.

Vandenborre's unique perspective as an expat-turned-citizen, combined with his interactions with key Singaporean leaders, gives you an intimate look into the heart of this island nation. As a citizen, entrepreneur, or someone with ties to Singapore, you'll find his blueprint for the country's reinvention both valuable and inspiring.

Description

Proudly Singaporean is Alain Vandenborre's powerful and thought-provoking examination of the challenges facing Singapore today, and a moving account of why he chose to become a Singapore citizen. An entrepreneur and the Executive Director and Vice-Chairman of the Singapore Venture Capital and Private Equity Association, Vandenborre has over 20 years of business and senior-management experience. He brings insight, hope, and warmth to his stirring vision for the country. Drawing upon discussions with and writings from a host of Singapore's preeminent political and business leaders—including PM Goh Chok Tong, SM Lee Kuan Yew, DPM Lee Hsien Loong, Raymond Lim, BG (NS) George Yeo, Sim Wong Hoo, Ngiam Tong Dow, and Teo Ming Kian, among many others—Vandenborre provides a cogent and thorough analysis of Singapore's achievements and upcoming trials. With passion and understanding, he offers a blueprint for reinvention amid a changing geopolitical landscape, the rise of terrorism, the challenges of entrepreneurship, the increasing importance of China and India in the global economy, and the growth of new industries and technologies. Proudly Singaporean is a compelling and timely work that stands to benefit business leaders, entrepreneurs, the younger generation of Singaporeans who will bear the coming challenges, and anyone who has ever called Singapore home.
