Couple of points:
1. I believe
@AhMeng was
really born into, and brought up in, a
truly "high SES" family that is
still "high SES"; and of course, he himself is also
at least upper-middle class (and possibly even lower-upper class).
2. May I ask, how much money (or any other kind of financial assets) did
your mother inherit from that "wealthy plantation owner in Malaya"? But more importantly,
during your childhood in the 1970s and 80s, were you brought up in a
HDB flat, condo unit or landed house?
