I was called in to the room today to discuss some work I was going to be doing on behalf of one of my bosses. It was just drudge work, and I knew it — but it was necessary, and the attention to detail required would mean I would be bogged down for many days. It’s extremely exhausting going through document after document and trying your darndest to determine if said documents were provided in good faith.

It could be a mistake to think so, but being offered money could be a pretext for more hanky-panky from connected Third Parties… it’s troubling to find out that I’ve become a target of such machinations. And not me only, but my other colleague as well.

This movie might describe my life at the moment.

Discussions over at Politics101 on Ronnie Liu’s ‘alternative’ history have brought into question the action of communists during the Emergency. Far from being revisionist, Mr Liu’s statement makes certain claims about ‘true national heroes’ which, though they resonate true, are put across seemingly in contradistinction to the former Prime Ministers of the country.
