Two books on community development in Singapore were launched on 25th<\/sup>\u00a0October at Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium, NUS University Town. The guest of honour for the event was Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Mr Heng Swee Keat.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cCollected Readings on Community Development in Singapore\u201d is a collection of Dr S Vasoo\u2019s numerous publications over the last 48 years on community development and its issues in the Singapore context.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cCommunity Development Arenas in Singapore\u201d covers a broad range of arenas including health, housing, ageing, community integration and bonding, social entrepreneurship, among others. Through the insights of contributors who are practitioners in the community development field, this book argues that more resources and initiatives must be accorded to community organisations so as to redirect to a community- or resident-centric approach towards community work intervention.<\/p>\r\n

The book launch was followed by a Panel Discussion by the book contributors. The event was supported by the NUS Department of Social Work, Department of Political Science and the Ee Peng Liang Memorial Fund.<\/p>\r\n

The books can be purchased from World Scientific at\u00a0bit.ly\/2JtJCFw<\/u><\/a><\/p>\r\n

\u201cCollected Readings on Community Development in Singapore\u201d can also be purchased from NUS Co-Op.<\/p>\r\n
