what the newspapers say

Andrew Cheah was quiet, loved computers, a fan of The Matrix and Final Fantasy, his family was in too much grief to say much. I guess the newspapers are grieving too. His name appears only in passing, as if it was an unfortunate coincidence that he left the world only the day before Clifton.

I am not in any way putting down the tragedy of both their deaths. Both were young, both were full of potential. Both will be equally missed by the family and their friends. It is clear, however, who Singapore mourns for more. And that, i think, is sad also.

Trackback from Sam's Thoughts - Does Singapore love me?:

How many more sons must die before something is done? I feel sad and angry every time I read about a death in the Singapore Armed Forces....
