-
Sylvia Toh's bestselling Eh, Goodu! and Lagi Goodu! appeared in 1982 and 1986 and famously crystallised many of the words and phrases which form Singapore's expressive patois, Singlish. This "vernacular" is now a subject of serious study as well as controversy and is often an ever-evolving feature of Singaporean identity. These two publications have now been made available again in this welcome 2010 single-volume reissue.
