Ace Kindred Chong

[Cootie-Monster]

Still back to Singapore Idol, I believe Singapore is a better place thanks to people like Ace Kindred Cheong.

 

After Googling his unique name, you will find that this man has been insulted and blasted by various netizens for being a PAP government boot-licker.

 

I guess that is what happens to most people in Singapore who try to be 'conservative', or appear supportive of the establishment, or even try to be fair or politically correct.

 

Ace Kindred Cheong writes to the newspapers (mainly Straits Times) regularly, probably more than most of us, like myself, given that we usually write about specific issues.

 

This guy is different, he writes about almost everything and shares his opinion with all of us. I believe he has a genuine concern for Singaporean society and Singaporeans in general, but unfortunately, some of us are unable to see these qualities through his writing.

 

Why am I saying nice stuff about Ace Kindred Cheong?

 

This is because my wife and I met him at Plaza Singapura a while back (not sure if it was last year or the year before).

 

My wife left her wallet in Manhattan Fish Market, where the food is good and the batter is nauseating. Along with another friend, we did not know the wallet was there, and ended up tracing back our steps to the food court and the MRT.

 

Ace Kindred Cheong noticed that I was frantically looking around the foodcourt and under the chairs. He did the most un-Singaporean thing and bothered me with a question that probably went like "Are you looking for something? Did you lose something?" and offered to help me find the wallet.

 

He probably was as clueless as we are, but he still took the time to listen to my description and look around the place.

 

We checked with the Manhattan Fish Market people and requested to look around the table we previously sat. The management said no, because a couple was sitting there. On hindsight, I say "f--k you" to Manhattan Fish Market @ Plaza Singapura.

 

The wallet was lying on the seat next to the couple. It was finally found.

 

Apart from the shithole that is the customer relations and decision-making capabilities of the restaurant, I remember Ace Kindred Cheong for his selfless act.

 

He is more than just the perceived government boot-licker. In my brief encounter with him, and from reading his forum letters, I believe he is a person who cares, and that matters in a society characterised by people who don't.

 

He has a heart many of us don't. He is genuine and he is a good person. If there are more Ace Kindred Cheong's on the streets of Singapore, and if graciousness could be measured, our graciousness index will improve.

 

Unfortunately, we live in a society where people and organisations exploit and abuse well-intentioned persons like Ace Kindred Cheong.

 

Even though he did not find the wallet, he taught me a lesson that a little help goes a long way. He was calm, reassuring and ready to help. Such a positive attitude can make your day and that is priceless.

 

I hope I do not get slammed for licking your boots, polishing your apples, currying your favour, carrying/licking your balls, like what you have been accused of on many occasions on the internet.

 

Ace Kindred Cheong, if you happen to read this, I would like to say that you are a good person. My wife also says you are a good person. I think that is enough.

But I came across one blogger who described him as a genuine & helpful person. Cos he took time to help him find his misplaced wallet even though they were strangers. i guess the "people" who bash him verbally are most likely from SBF. Pro-govt vs anti-govt, very difficult to see eye to eye.

long time no see here bro. me actually.haha
