Dangerous Women & The Guilty Part About Being Innocent

by admin Feb 7, 2019 Comments

Story A This happened 30 years ago. A friend of mine was working in a government agency. It was his first job. One evening, as he was about to leave his office after all the counters had closed, he spotted a member of the public loitering on the premises. He immediately confronted her and asked […]

Passing The Year

by admin Feb 5, 2019 Comments

It has been 9 years since I travelled alone to Vietnam and China during Chinese New Year, leaving my family behind. It was a therapeutic trip. My thoughts and feelings back then are still fresh in my mind. It’s as if every Chinese New Year is a reminder. Things are a bit different this year. […]

Fundamentally Inhumane

by admin Jan 30, 2019 Comments

In the wake of NSman Aloysius Pang’s death, historian and well-known government critic Dr Thum Ping Tjin made a scathing remark that may raise a few eyebrows. Inhumane? Well, yes. But let’s not tar everyone under the system with the same brush. There are many caring and even altruistic people around. Trouble is, these folks […]

Pathetically Punggol

by admin Jan 20, 2019 Comments

Some 6-7 years ago, many people in Singapore envied me for living in Punggol. There was a lot of publicity about Punggol being a place that will bring the kampung back to urban living. After an initial 10 years of neglect, Punggol was suddenly very happening. An ambitious project was launched to link and dam […]

Void Deck Smokers

by admin Jan 15, 2019 Comments

This is a true story with some of the details changed/invented. I first met F when she was a little girl in P5. She was my neighbour’s daughter, a cocky, wilful and mischievous child who was always making fun of the other kids at the playground. Her mother worked long hours as an assistant at […]

Is There A Name For This Condition?

by admin Jan 14, 2019 Comments

It has been a little more than 2 weeks since our return from Incredible India. The kids are back in school and still recovering from the harsh assault on all their senses. Even I can’t help feeling that I’m still in India when I walk past a playground here in Punggol. So why India? Quite […]

Looking Back In Wonder

by admin Dec 28, 2018 Comments

It’s finally 2019 and as a custom, I’m writing another installment of Looking Back in Wonder. There is always something to say when we bid farewell to one year and usher in a new year. Some will say that time flies and I’ve always thought that people say that when they don’t have anything memorable […]

Amos Yee & His Bullshit

by admin Dec 14, 2018 Comments

I was one of those who sympathised with Amos Yee when he was taken to task for “insulting Christians” in that first video that brought him worldwide fame. I was also happy for him when he was granted political asylum in the US. It does not mean that I agree with what he said in […]
