Meet Jim, an American citizen who taught at the Singapore American School since the 1970s. He is also the author of two books about the history and economy of Singapore and Malaysia. He shared with me his memories of Singapore in the 1950s, why he never applied for Singaporean citizenship, and what makes food the integral part of the nation. Enjoy!
