Publisher's Synopsis

A critical study of the politics of ethnicity and elitism in Singapore. The book examines Singapore's education system from nursery through to university, the civil service, military and other areas of public life, and finds that ethno-racial bias, personal connections, personal power, class and gender determine who makes it to the top.
