President Nathan hosted me (and my ridiculous tan line) in the Istana after I swam the English Channel in 2005. He seemed to be a very nice man. On hearing that I was about to embark on a doctorate in history, he sent me a copy of Drysdale's history of Singapore. It was immensely helpful in my work, but probably not in the way President Nathan intended. Little did he know that I would go on to prove that the book was inaccurate and very incomplete about key aspects of Singapore's history. I disagreed with President Nathan's politics but I respected him as a man of courage and conviction. RIP.
