Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nathan is a Singaporean of Indian Tamil descent; his childhood was spent with his three older sisters and parents, V. Sellapan and Apiram, in Muar, Johor, in a house overlooking the sea. His father had been posted to the Malayan town as a lawyer''s clerk for a firm that serviced rubber plantations, but the rubber slump of the 1930s sent the family''s fortunes crashing. Nathan''s father accrued debts and, eventually, lost his job. By then, the young Nathan had returned to his birthplace, Singapore, to live, and received his early education in several Anglo-Chinese School in Singapore such as the Rangoon Road Afternoon School, and later Victoria School. He started working before completing his studies. During the Japanese Occupation of Singapore, Nathan worked for the Japanese civilian police as a translator. After the war, whilst working, he completed hissecondary education through self-study, and entered the University of Malaya where he graduated in 1954 with a Diploma in Social Studies (Distinction).
