Foreigners seem to see MM Lee in a different light, with quite a couple mentioning it is his/her honor to be speaking to our esteemed leader etc and asking questions that hold close of their heart.However, MM Lee kept posing questions about where they came from and where did they learn their English followed by 'CONGRATULATIONS! you speak good English.' Perhaps I might be too sensitive but I couldn't help but sniff a thin veil of cynicism in his questioning and replies but he did answer the questions well enough so they should have no complain.
I am not entirely satisfied regarding the Q&A session because the questions (asked by the foreigners who strangely were selected by the moderator quite often) were essentially too diversified and more of the global issue rather than issue that are close to our heart. e.g. CPF rates change, increment of retirement ages, gay rights ( he did touch on that a little), 4th University in Singapore.
However there were some interesting questions enough e.g. what will MM Lee study in NTU if suppose he could turn back time and choose his field of study which he replied: Economics, Mathematics or Psychology. No more lawyer for him even though the salary earn good pay but it do not bring him enough satisfactions.
Overall, I think MM Lee is still able to offer sound advices on the global political and economics issue but he seems to have problems grappling with the fast pace of technological advances and arty farty issues..which is pretty reasonable for his age. The things he touched on offered another perspectives on the current 'Economic' boom/ gloom the world is encountering. His mind is clear, his wits is sharp and he is still able to shoot you up down left right easily if you try something funny.

When I decided to change course last year, 1 of the point I don't really like about engineering is the co-relation to our daily happening in life. While viewing the articles above, wave of thoughts hit me as I applied what I learn in NBS regarding accounting stuffs into the 1st article. Though my accounting skill is only marginal at best, this is what I mean by learning and applying in our daily life. And this is what I really like.
NBS- Nanyang Business School (NBS) is now ranked 72nd in the world, up five notches from last year, according to the latest ranking order released by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).
The ranking also reaffirms that the school, at the Nanyang Technological University, is among the top three in Asia.
Nice~
while reading this article on BBC last week, I came across this paragraph:
Burma's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has greeted Buddhist monks protesting against the military junta.Apparently unable to hold her tears, Aung San Suu Kyi came out of the house she has been detained in since 2003 as the monks were let through a roadblock.
I tried searching for the picture but to no avail. Imagine what a powerful message it will convey to the rest of the world if someone actually managed to capture the image. To be remember, and not forgotten when you are captured in isolation for 11 of the past 18 years. It's that sort of powerful, raw and emotional feelings and supports from esteem members of societies ( the monks ) that can break even the iron-will heart.
This post is very long. I think I talk more about other stuffs tomorrow.
