The Birthday Book 2017: What should we never forget?

Out of stock

 An annual publication, The Birthday Book examines emerging challenges and opportunities for Singapore, based on a selected prompt. The number of writers each year matches Singapore’s age—52 for 2017, 53 for 2018, and so on. This edition presents 52 responses to “What Should We Never Forget?” The contributors have drawn from personal encounters, academic and professional experiences, and cornerstone values in their lives. Read their stories for a glimpse of our nation’s spirit—mortal, vulnerable, restless, resilient, and aspirational. What’s your response?

Pay It Forward Initiative


Since The Birthday Book 2016, we have been collaborating with schools to bring contributors of the Birthday Book into to speak to students of schools around Singapore. This year, we hope to continue to do the same with The Birthday Book 2017, and hope to provide free, accessible copies of the book to deserving students for the upcoming schools tour. If you would like to sponsor this initiative, please select the 'Pay It Forward' option above, and your purchase will go directly to a student we meet during our schools outreach.


For more details on this initiative, please email jenniferkwan [at] pagesetters [dot] com [dot] sg




How this book came together
In the spirit of civil society, the contributors contributed their work for no personal gain. Half of the profits from the book sales will go towards the production and publishing costs, while the remainder will be contributed to The Birthday Book Collective, which will be operated in the spirit of a non-profit to support follow-up activities and outreach relating to the various ideas and causes that the contributors wrote about.
