Most of our waking hours are spent at work. For many, we spend more time in the office than we spend with family and loved ones. But we don't stop being a Christian when we clock in at work; we've all faced the challenge of living out our beliefs amid the often-competing demands of our professions. Living out our faith at work isn't always the easiest, most straightforward journey. This compilation from Christian portal Salt&Light shares stories of encouragement and equipping on how to navigate that balance. Read about fellow believers in the marketplace, and how they overcame the challenge of being "in the world but not of the world". Draw inspiration from these true accounts from Singapore and beyond, so that you too may experience personal growth in our relationship with God and living out His Kingdom calling.
We, the citizens of Singapore, pledge ourselves as one united people, regardless of race, language or religion... Multiculturalism is arguably the X-factor of Singapore's admired country brand. But while the island republic's open¬ness to the world is undoubted, its ethnic cohesiveness at home came under scrutiny amidst the stresses of pandemic times. In 2021, the government announced moves to establish new legislation for a Maintenance of Racial Harmony Act. This thought-provoking collection of 23 essays - by writers including Nazry Bahrawi, Viswa Sadasivan, Kenneth Paul Tan, Poh Yong Han and Margaret Thomas - reflects on Singapore's progress, since independence in 1965, to integrate its component communities into one society and nation. Insights are drawn from diverse perspectives - Malay, Indian, Eurasian, Peranakan, Chinese and others. Lessons from the past are analysed, and the evolving challenges of the present candidly assessed. "One United People" - a quotation from Singapore's National Pledge - is a timely reminder that racial harmony is never a reachable destination, but an ongoing journey, an aspiration that every citizen and resident can contribute to every day.
Place names tell us much about a country -- its history, its landscape, its people, its aspirations, its self-image, The study of place names called toponymics unlocks the stories that are in every street name and landmark.

But how did these places get their names? This revised and expanded 4th edition of the book incorporates additional information, from archival research as well as interviews that have come to light since the last edition. Also included are many new entries that have presented themselves as Singapore's built environment undergoes redevelopment. Expanded by over 100 pages.
