Temasek review reported on my views about MM Lee's remarks

"Read this article in Temasek Review.  I have posted a comment as follows:

Dear Editor of Temasek Review

You article does fairly report my view and the comments in my blog, but your headline is too strong and inappropriate. It is not in my character to condemn anyone, big or small. I only wish to express my own views. I hope that your readers will not be too distracted by this inappropriate headline.

Yes, Temasek Review used too strong a word to represent your view on MM Lee's remark on Singaporeans.

I am deeply hurt with such words that come out from MM Lee's mouth, but to think deeper, how could he empathise our struggles and dire situations we were put in at the pace Singapore progresses in the making of Singapore number 1 in this or that.

Don't overwork at the expense of one's health and a sound mind. Don't overwork your children by signing up too many lessons for them.
Don't overspend unnecessarily and don't overestimate your self-worth
and undermine others.

Temasek Review has changed the headline by replacing the earlier workd "condemn" by the more appropriate word "disagree".

If our children are perceived to be not hardworking enough, shouldn't we find out why and help them instead badmouth about them to strangers and adopt someone else?

I remember reading somewhere MM is only a consultant/adviser to all Ministries and does not give instruction to Ministries(?). Who is running the country now??

Old man should give his son a break by talk less, appear less, travel less and forecast less...

If not our "FTs" will be confused by who is the actual PM here?
