2024年新加坡文學獎‧非虛構寫作組首獎得獎之作從殖民地到新馬合併，從被驅逐出聯邦、新馬分家到宣布獨立為什麼政治強人、新加坡國父李光耀會懷疑新加坡從來就不是國家？亞洲地區向來對新加坡政治強人李光耀各有不同的情結和觀點。這本書恰恰細緻鋪展了李光耀崛起的大背景，糾纏於左翼社會勢力與政治運動，以及周旋於馬來西亞的複雜過程。這是建國史光譜的色調變化，或李光耀強人政治下的暗影。──高嘉謙（國立臺灣大學中國文學系副教授）年輕的李光輝在一段意外旅程中意外地建立「新加坡共和國」，90歲時對這個國家存在與否仍說：「我不是很肯定。美國、中國、英國、澳洲，這些國家百年後還會在。但新加坡直到最近，從來就不是一個國家。」新加坡青年藝術家獎、文化獎、東南亞文學獎得主──謝裕民，根據所有文獻史料，從殖民地到新馬合併、從被驅逐出聯邦、新馬分家到新加坡宣布獨立，透過本書，重新認識亞洲巨人李光耀，新加坡歷史和建國過程！新加坡共和國別稱獅城、星洲，通稱星國、新加坡或星加坡，是位於東南亞的城邦島國和城市國家。從1945年戰後到1965年獨立極為動盪的二十年，李光耀從英國、馬來亞、印尼與馬共的多角競逐中排眾而出，展現其獨特的政治領導家的人格特質。然則，脆弱的新加坡讓李光耀在90歲仍懷疑其確定性。他說：「新加坡直到最近，從來就不是一個國家。」李光耀慣性地直言：「我看著新加坡成為一個更像大都會的國家，卻懷疑最後會是什麼結果。而且，我也不十分肯定，我們為確保生存推行的事物的必要性。」謝裕民在本書中指出，1965年9月18日，新加坡剛獨立40天，42歲的總理李光耀在農業展覽會開幕禮上說：「新加坡不會對他人晃動指節套環，因為我們謙恭有禮。然而，這個島國決心在未來的一千年在東南亞生存，沒有人能阻擾我們。」東南亞局勢波詭雲譎，剛獨立的島國極需堅毅的決心與意志，特別是領導人；年輕的總理雄心萬丈，以千年之願鼓舞士氣，也向區域大國展表氣魄。不過23年後的1988年11月14日，65歲的新加坡總理李光耀訪問澳洲，脫稿感歎：「一百年後重訪澳洲，澳洲依舊風吹草低見牛羊，人們舒適地生活在這片土地上。但是，我無法肯定，這個稱為新加坡的人為國家，是否會依然存在。」他慣性地直言：「我看著新加坡成為一個更像大都會的國家，卻懷疑最後會是什麼結果。而且，我也不十分肯定，我們為確保生存推行的事物的必要性。」本書將揭露，新加坡獨立23年與獨立40天不

When Lee Kuan Yew speaks, presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, and CEOs listen. Lee, the founding father of modern Singapore and its prime minister from 1959 to 1990, has honed his wisdom during more than fifty years on the world stage.
