I actually had an inkling of some sort when La Mei kept talking about minor HDB issues, police parking and other trivial matters but one swallow can't make a summer. The thing that piqued my interest was the article on the young malay couple and the thoughts they shared.Then the soldier's article, followed by John Tan's handling of JCU matter and lastly the clincher - Seelan's Sri Lanka peace appeal.
What did the Malay couple and soldier write?
What is the conclusion you have with all your examples?
