A Great Loss

Mr. S Rajaratnam passed away, today he would be 91.
that's quite an accomplishment already, being able to live until this ripe old age.
before his passing i think not many young people know about him right.
then now he's gone everybody knows about him.
he wrote the Singapore pledge right.
in the afternoon i watched them bring his body from the Parliament House to the Esplanade, then listen to the big shots give their eulogies.
i almost fell asleep.
nevertheless, it was a solemn event.
i dunno lah, hearing about what a great man he was, it made me sad.

speaking of death,
i wanna talk about the Ah How case.
he has a pending death sentence right.
give him a chance lah.
i mean, we all make mistakes.
he still has a wife and a kid, and people who love him.
surely we shouldn't take his life.
give him 20 years imprisonment or some strokes of the cane, at least he'll still be around to see his family.
you know about his dad asking people to sign the petition to ask Mr. President to spare his life?
go to the temple place opposite Bugis and sign it.
i did it.
