  What happens when an entire community is moved?  
   
  Dakota Crescent was one of Singapore's oldest public housing estates and a rental flat neighbourhood for low-income households. In 2016, its residents—many of whom are elderly—were relocated to Cassia Crescent to make way for redevelopment. To help them resettle, a group of volunteers came together and formed the Cassia Resettlement Team. 
   
  They Told Us to Move tells the story of the relocation through interviews with the residents from the Dakota community and reflections by the volunteers. Accompanying these are essays by various academics on urban planning; gender and family; ageing, poverty, and social services; civil society and citizenship; and architectural heritage and place-making. Through this three-part conversation, the book explores human stories of devotion, expectation, and remembrance. It asks what we can achieve through voluntary action and how we can balance self-reliance and public services. 
   
  This book is for people who want to understand the kind of society we are, and question what kind of society we want to be.

  "Apology" is a philosophical dialogue written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. The dialogue is a dramatization of the trial of Socrates, in which he is accused of corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety. The dialogue is set in 399 BC and recounts Socrates' defense before the Athenian court. 
  The dialogue is divided into three parts: Socrates' defense, the verdict, and the sentencing. In his defense, Socrates argues that he has been falsely accused and that he has only sought to bring greater wisdom and understanding to his fellow Athenians. He also reflects on his own mortality and the nature of the human soul. 
  Throughout the dialogue, Plato uses Socrates as a mouthpiece for his own philosophical ideas, particularly his belief in the importance of reason and the pursuit of truth. Socrates is portrayed as a wise and virtuous figure who is committed to living a life of integrity and to teaching others to do the same. 
  The dialogue has been widely studied and debated over the centuries and is regarded as a foundational text of Western philosophy. It offers a powerful reflection on the nature of truth, justice, and virtue, as well as on the role of the individual in society. It remains a valuable and thought-provoking work of philosophy that continues to be read and studied today. 
  Overall, "Apology" is a timeless and influential work of philosophy that offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of history's greatest thinkers. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, the nature of truth and justice, or the legacy of ancient Greece.
