Dear friends and readers,

In recent weeks, some of you have asked about my two published books, Floating on a Malayan Breeze: Travels in Malaysia and Singapore and Hard Choices: Challenging the Singapore Consensus.

As always, for those who want to read but not buy, you can find both books at most libraries in Singapore; and I’m always happy to lend you mine.

For those who do want to buy, good news. BooksActually, Singapore’s leading independent bookstore, and a beloved establishment of writers and other artists in Singapore, is offering autographed copies on sale now. While stocks last.

BooksActually has cut the price of Floating on a Malayan Breeze (from $39.90 to $32). And if you buy Floating, you are entitled to a 20% discount on Hard Choices ($29.90) by using the code “SUDHIR” at checkout, i.e. add both books to your shopping cart, and then key in the code.

So if you buy:

– Floating alone, it is $32

– Hard Choices alone, it is $29.90

– Both together, they are $55.92 (code: SUDHIR)

(All prices before shipping.)

I will be autographing all books. Please specify in the Comments field during check-out if you DO NOT want an autograph on your copy.

Praise for Floating on a Malayan Breeze: “One of the best, and certainly one of the most enjoyable, single-volume introductions to both countries’ politics, economies and societies, and to their delicate sibling relationship–part envy, part rivalry, part affection.” – Simon Long, “Banyan”, Asia columnist, The Economist

Praise for Hard Choices: “This is an important book and should be read by all who are interested in understanding post-2011 Singapore. The authors, Donald Low and Sudhir Vadaketh, are two of our most original thinkers”. – Tommy Koh, Ambassador-at-Large, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Singapore
