First of all, I’d like to thank you. You may not remember this, but more than ten years ago, two teenage friends with the shared ambition of becoming published writers wrote to you asking for advice. You took the time to give a long, handwritten reply which was extremely thoughtful and encouraging. I don’t think I appreciated, then, how rare such engagement and kindness is – but I certainly do now, and I’d like to thank you very much. Sadly I cannot report success in the adolescent adventure as of yet, but perhaps in the future…

Second, I am delighted to see that you describe yourself as a feminist in your “About” page. It’s sadly rare, and needlessly controversial! Together with two other young women, I am working on launching a feminist webzine which focuses on women’s welfare and gender relations in Singapore with an eye also to the region. I was wondering if you would be interested in contributing a piece, or being available for interview, in connection with this zine. I haven’t been able to locate an email address on this website, but if you could get in touch with me at the email address I’ve supplied in the form, I would be very grateful.

Best regards.

Do you know Grace Chan Ho Lai (Miss). She was my Primary 6 teacher and she told us that you were once her tutor. She is currently teaching in Qihua Primary School. And Dr. Lim, your book are simply fantastic!!I’ve read Little Ironies, O Singapore!,Humoresque and The Howling Silence. I really admire your style of writing.I’ve recommended my classmates to read them. I like the stories in O Singapore!They really describe the lifestyle of Singaporeans,especially on the story,The Malady and The Cure , which decribes on how public policy clashes with personal life,on an award-winning civil servant, Mr Sai Koh Phan.

Dr Lim, It is simply a pleasure to read your books.

Sean Lim.

P.S If you don’t mind, can you email and clarify about whether you know Ms. Grace Chan??My email is provided, if I’m not wrong

Thanks!

True examples:

1. We were on our way downstairs and saw someone using a crowbar, trying open a neighbour’s door. We saw that through the glass on the lift. We called the police and we were told to call again if we see it again?!?!

2. Law enforcers(Polices in Uniform) did not followed their SOPs, handed over an assumed drunk girl to the rapist who claimed to be her boyfriend?!?! Further making mistakes by telling her she need not go for a medical after she made the report?!?! Further delayed her medical and caused lost of concrete evidences?!?! Insensitive Inspector told her, she should have gone to any hospital, approach to police post there and tell them she is raped, instead of waiting and waiting!?!? Liked she would know what to do at such moment and as if she had been through such ordeal before!?!? Last but not least, on the day before the rapist stand trial, HE ESCAPED!!!!!!!!

Best of all, Media reported 95% twisted truth on the article and did not have the guts to clarify with the victim when confronted. They are supposed to write the truth, isn’t it???

How can such happened?!?! This is not a third world country yet so much wrong is done yet NO ONE bother to be righteous and just on such wrong doings.

This is totally outrageously ridiculous!

Maybe the media is trying to make up for quality with quantity……
