My Lifelong Challenge: Singapore’s Bilingual Journey + DVD
Lee Kuan Yew

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to formulate language policies. In telling Singapore’s bilingualism story, it breaks new ground with never before published revelations about education matters in Singapore. It is also a comprehensive resource for all who are interested in the primeval interplay between language and politics in Singapore. In My Lifelong Challenge, we learn of the many policy adjustments and the challenges Lee Kuan Yew encountered – from Chinese language chauvinists who wanted Chinese to be the preeminent language in Singapore, from Malay and Tamil community groups fearing that Chinese was being given too much emphasis, from parents of all races wanting an easier time for their school-going children, from his own Cabinet colleagues questioning his assumptions about language. We learn of the pain of teachers forced to switch from teaching in Chinese to teaching in English almost overnight, and of students who were caught in the transition from a Chinese medium of instruction to an English one.

我一生的挑战--新加坡双语之路
李光耀

《我一生的挑战--新加坡双语之路》讲述李光耀50年来如何投注心力,把新加坡从一个语言复杂、人民各说各话的前英国殖民地,打造成一个多数人都通晓英文,同时懂得自己母语的团结的国家。

然而,整个过程险阻重重。要求把华文维持在第一语文水平的华教人士攻击他;马来和淡米尔社群担心华文受到过度重视而被边缘化;希望华文课业不会变成孩子沉重负担的家长则不断地施压。质疑的眼光,甚至来自他的内阁同僚。

国家的双语之路,其实也是李光耀的双语之路。书中就多次感性和详实地描绘了在人生不同阶段,因无法掌握好华文而感到的挫折和失落。
