I read this in today’s ST Forum. I’ve reproduced it below. The naivety and the underlying racism of this letter is making me very upset. In the first place, has this guy never encountered people who have worked hard yet not achieved what they hoped to? Does he really think that hard work is all… Continue reading »

Just a quick one
I actually have a draft of my thoughts about the UN guy’s opinion of race / religion in Singapore, which obviously I found very interesting.
