It's this guy right Quote Arnold Arnold Gay is Singapore's Auntie Killer who will charm your mornings and give the latest news updates.His sharp wit and wealth of knowledge accumulated from many years as a news reporter provides you with the latest reports. He keeps fit with regular tennis and jogging sessions.

Sosaria Twincharged October 9, 2013 Share October 9, 2013 Actually, reading the news this morning, since the activity was carried out within the premises or compound of a private house, then why does it matter? Unless, of course, there are laws against open burning like that, which is another issue. I think that guy's only mistake was to publicise the act online, which led to all this backlash. Why can't people learn to keep things private, and instead, put their activities online for all and sundry to see and comment?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, kids won't think this way if they see parents encouraging them to burn their books. They will perceive it that books are garbage.

Darryn Turbocharged October 11, 2013 Share October 11, 2013 I just read THIS commentary from Bertha Henson - If it was assessment papers, and not text books - I would withdraw any and all objections to the event I have made. My thoughts on book burning, and the inappropriateness remain - but if this was not a book burning, they don't apply to what Arnold Gay did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackRabbit 3rd Gear October 11, 2013 Share October 11, 2013 Interesting. This is the 1st I've heard of this breakfast network blog. I am surprised to see that Bertha Henson, (who is still with SPH/Straits Times, I presume?) - write so critically about one of her own. I shall be reading up this breakfast network blog with great interest. Ah.. some snippets about Bertha Henson... she seems to have gone rogue... left SPH and now writing bad things about her former masters.... I wonder if one should fully trust a turncoat.... http://wherebearsroamfree.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/mda-licensing-did-bertha-henson-really.html ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
