Get over it.

A couple of weeks ago a friend from China forwarded a message on MSN to me, urging me to go to some website to petition against Japan's bid for a seat in the UN Security Council.

I closed her window without a second thought, but not before wondering why she thought that I would support the move. Because I am supposedly a fellow Chinese who would lend a helping hand in times of need? Or because Singapore was invaded as well in WW2 so naturally I would be equally anti-Jap?

Seriously, China should just get over it and let Japan go already. History textbook issues aside, all that violence and boycotting is unnecessary. In fact I don't even see why the Chinese would feel any "better" with Koizumi's apology, when it wasn't even this generation who invaded their country like 60 years ago. Okay this might be just a very simplistic point of view but well, I am no political analyst and this might well be the first and last time that politics makes an appearance on my blog.

A week ago there was an article in the Straits Times about this PSC scholar guy who recently got bombed (on online forums and other channels) for racist comments on his blog.

Like, duh.

Is he the only racist one in SG? Definitely not.

So why did he receive all that flak? Because he is a PSC scholar and SG is so obsessed with projecting a clean and green image (And then they go and build 2 casinos). Well done!

Singaporeans should just get over small issues like these and move on to look at bigger pictures.

Boy, am I glad I went overseas.
