Today, I brought this book from Popular. Mainly is because I was once a SR Nathan Education Award recipient. To be honest, without this award I might not even have the chance to futher my study in university now. I am indeed grateful that SR Nathan and CDAC have so much faith in me and award me this award despite having so many potential candidates that might be even better position than I am. With this award I can complete my poly education without any worry in terms of financial, i remember in 2015 during his tea reception he asked me if I want to purse university. I don't dare to make any promise as I not very confident if my GPA can get me into a local university. I'm glad that I have make it and managed to survive my year 1 in SMU. thank you S R Nathan for being such a humble president and giving all the potential poverty student a chance to break the cycle through education. Your kindness and action will be remembered by all the student recipients and the rest of the Singaporean. #SRNathan #srnathanrip #srnathan1924to2016 (at Singapore)

The first time I met SR Nathan, it was over tea in 2002 at the Istana with Mrs Urmila Nathan. He'd agreed to launch my 4th book, Daughters of Asia, written in collaboration with the Singapore Council of Women's Organization.The book was an anthology of inspirational stories of the strong women of ASEAN, which included my re-telling of the story of Mrs Nathan. Mr Nathan shared at the time, his love of the written word and the importance for us to document our stories of both trials and triumphs. How else would history remember the commitment of pioneers and the sacrifices they made? At his State Funeral service today, his part in Singapore's history was told in 7 heartfelt eulogies. Among other accolades paid to him, was that he had a front row seat at the many events that shaped the nation, facing challenges with steely resolve - a man who quietly and without fuss, gave his best years to Singapore. Thank you Mr Nathan. Rest in peace. #srnathanrip #srnathan #dawnkarentan #daugthersofasia #singaporecouncilofwomensorganizations (at Singapore)
