Ep. 358 | The History of Singapore (Part 10)

First of all, to all of you who lasted through the entire series up to this concluding episode, I extend to you, my deepest appreciation. I hope you learned a few things about Singapore. Here it is, the final installment of the series. I worked on this particular episode during my Oct-Nov China-HK-Cambodia trip. I recorded this one in Phnom Penh at the home studio of Dr. Digby James Wren. Digby's a long-time CHP listener and I gave him a ring when I hit town. Fortunately, he was in PP and generously spent a couple of days with me showing me around the city. The series finishes off with the most recent history of Singapore, including the Goh Chok Tong and Lee Hsien Loong period from 1990-2024. Everything from the 1970s to the present day is also squeezed into Part 10. Many of you might remember some of these blasts from the past. I'll also look at Singapore-PRC relations and how things developed in recent decades. This final episode will be released on January 19, 2025. I recorded it at Digby Wren's studio in early November and it's been available on my Patreon and CHP Premium channels since then. And now finally, here it is. A special thanks to all Singaporeans and expats there who wrote to me over the past few months with your kind words. Special thanks to Dr. Digby James Wren for allowing me the use of his Phnom Penh Studio!
