Most Singaporean’s forefathers were immigrants. Till today, they continue to come, enticed by the strong governance, transparent work culture, equal job opportunities, safe environment and cohesive social structure that Singapore is known for. Singaporeans both, ‘old’ and ‘new’ have worked hand in hand to make the Little Red Dot an economic power to reckon with in the world. Singapore’s ability to attract the best talent and use it to its competitive advantage has been the hallmark of this nimble nation which is quick to adapt to changing situations. This book endeavours to showcase the journey of 30 naturalized Singaporeans, who come endowed with skills and talents that have benefitted the country. They have adapted to the social and religious fabric of Singapore, nurtured respect for its culture and traditions and honoured its history while forging connections within the community. They have thus made their journey to becoming Singaporean a meaningful one.
