As well as focusing on Singapore's founding father and first leader, late Lee Kuan Yew, Liew also highlights the role played by lesser-known people. He said: "I think so-called official narrative Singapore story is part of our history, but it's not the whole story and I wanted to tell more inclusive version of our history. I hope that's what people reading book will get from it." Liew initially feared his book would be unsuccessful after Singapore's National Arts Council withdrew grant for book.
