My son is born here in Europe and will never be a Singaporean "ah beng" like his dad. If only the Singapore i love is truly a free country that i can bring up my kids in. I want them to be thinkers and people with free will not some zombies. Perhaps someday i will move home, when Singapore start seeing the value of us home grown talents.<br />EurobengAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-61059542483505228262010-09-12T23:19:42.401-07:002010-09-12T23:19:42.401-07:00Hello Mr Gopalan Nair,
I've been really busy ...Hello Mr Gopalan Nair,<br /><br />I've been really busy lately (because I'm currently stuck in Singapore but already have plans to migrate hopefully soonest possible) and have a lot of catching up to do with regards to your blog...I sincerely hope you would write a book about Singapore and knowing how long and "fascinating" the stories would be, I hope there would be volumes of it for the whole world to understand the current real sitation that Singapore and Singaporeans are facing. The facts and truth seriously needs more coverage! BTW I did a search on the Mini Emperor's name in wikileaks.com and, to my surprise, there are NO results!!! (I am strongly assuming he is extremely insignificant to the eyes of the world, and in that case we should all just laugh it off) With your credentials and insiders knowledge I hope you will be able to harness the potential of this particular website too!<br /><br />Warmest regards,<br /><br />ISKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
