1987: Singapore’s Marxist Conspiracy 30 Years On (Second Edition)

By Chng Suan Tze
1987: Singapore’s Marxist Conspiracy 30 Years On (Second Edition) by Chng Suan Tze digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Survivors of Operation Spectrum—the alleged Marxist conspiracy—speak up in this volume. For many of them, this is the first time that they cast their minds back to 1987 and try to make sense of the incident. What they did in that period was meaningful and totally legitimate. Their families and friends share the same view.

The detainees were subjected to ill-treatment, humiliation, and manipulated television appearances. Under duress, and threatened with indefinite imprisonment without trial, they had to make statutory declarations against their will.

It is hoped that with this publication, Singaporeans will know what actually happened and decide for themselves if there was a national security threat that necessitated the mounting of Operation Spectrum.

“Was an unusual find and pick considering that such topics are usually off the shelves for me and it didn't have the most exciting book cover or anything. YET, it was on sale and everything is worth a first try hence the purchase. Turned out to be a very engaging read and definitely a controversial one that makes one want to verify facts, find out more and continue the conversation. As a Singaporean, I feel it's important that I know and uncover the past - both beautiful and ugly parts of nation building. Nobody likes talking about scary or unpleasant events but if something did happen, it needs to be known and acknowledged. We move forward from there.”
