Chen Show Mao supports Dr Thum Ping Tjin ?

[micromachine]

ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT, BOLDNESS TO TAKE ON A DIFFICULT CHALLENGE, AND STRENGTH TO CARRY IT THROUGH

Today I finally finished watching Dr Thum Ping Tjin's entire testimony before the Select Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehoods (parts while "multi-tasking", admittedly). The whole thing lasted six hours or so, about half as long as Dr Thum's famous swim across the English Channel in 2005. Towards the end, I wondered how tired of it Dr Thum might have been behind his wry smile, even if nothing like how he felt about his swim:

“The waves came crashing down on me and tossed me about like the insignificant speck that I was. ... To be honest, I didn’t think I’d make it. I was fairly certain I’d just reached a point where everything would just collapse and they’d have to fish me out of the water.”

How did he keep going?

“I thought about my family, my friends, about Singapore. I sang the national anthem to myself, I sang my school song to myself, I sang every single inspirational theme I could think of. ... I thought of all the people who believed in me, and all the people who supported me. I thought of all the children who would benefit from my swim .... I kept going, for just a few more strokes.”

National vs international is irrelevant. Obama vs Halima who has more dignity you tell me?

 

[glockman]

If national vs international is irrelevant, then why you compared pap (national) to rhodes (international) scholarship?

And to answer your question nonetheless, neither Obama or Halimah please. Both lack dignity.

Local President Scholars are just good at textbooks. Mr Thum is amazing; Olympic competitor, Sportsboy of the Year Recipient, Oxford Commonwealth Scholar, Rhodes Scholar, World Economic Forum "Young Global Leader".......

Thum should thank his lucky stars the former President Scholar, Mah Bow Tan, was not there to grill him. Otherwise, with Mah's wit and eloquence, Thum would have been disgraced much faster. 1 hour would have been enough, including extra time to further humiliate and tease Thum until he storms out of the room in tears.
