《胶林我们的母亲》是莫泽熙的不朽作曲,在50-60年代是文化团体必唱的歌曲,它感动了无数的青年。

这本《胶林我们的母亲》是音乐界用以缅怀莫泽熙的一本纪念册。它记录了莫先生自五十年代读中学开始，一直到七十年代初他离开华乐界的二十年激情日子的事迹。这本纪念册也收集了莫先生在那个时代高声呼喊发展健康音乐理想的论文，还有他在大学校园里所创作的多篇生活和学习感言。此外，莫先生对诗词与中国书法也很有研究，纪念册也选录了有关作品。这是首次发表的作品。它提供了对莫先生的音乐道路和人生哲学的研究不可缺少的资料。莫氏遗孀杜青女士将在会中为公众记述莫先生的一些真实生活纪事。同时,也将在会中展出莫先生一些生前珍藏的袖珍盆栽。

The beginning is always the toughest, or is it? 10 years since the birth of our nation in 1965, Singapore arrived at an enviable position after enjoying stabilising peace and rapid economic growth during its first decade.

Much has been done to put in place policies, systems and infrastructures, to haul this new country from a time of uncertainty to a period of self-assured sovereignty. Yet fresh challenges abound for the then PM Lee Kuan Yew and his cabinet as Singapore braced herself for another decade of nation building. The challenges ahead, and the benefits to be reaped, in the ten years from 1975 onwards, present both obstacles and opportunities for an evolving Singapore, particularly as a young society.

As with its precursor, ‘10 Years that Shaped a Nation’, ‘The Second Decade – Nation Building In Progress: 1975 – 1985’ showcases the struggles, decisions, predicaments faced by Singapore in her journey to achieving what Singaporeans can enjoy today.
