Singaporeans love animals, but only selectively. Otters, Ah Meng the orangutan, and Inuka the polar bear are among the beloved. Less favoured are monkeys in the Botanic Gardens, many of which were culled before WWII, and pesky Aedes mosquitoes. Environmental historian Timothy Barnard tells us how some of these migrant animals came to be here, how theyโ€™ve been treated, and what makes them Singaporean.

A journalist turned politician turned diplomat, S. Rajaratnam (1915โ€“2006) wore many hats in the service of Singapore.

Irene Ng, his authorised biographer, tells us little-known facets of the man, his legacy as Singaporeโ€™s founding foreign and culture minister, and his relationship with Lee Kuan Yew.
