Day of Infamy

Today is the 7th of December. Suprisingly, not a lot of people know the historical significance of this day. Sixty four years ago, Pearl Harbor was attacked in a "Day of Infamy", leading to American involvement in WWII and the start of a long, bloody engagement that would leave millions dead. Let us not forget the countless sacrifices that unnamed courageous men and women undertook those years ago, so that we may live free from tyranny.

OK, switching gears, Melvyn Tan has decided to cancel his concert in view of the furore caused by his dereliction of national duty. You know what? I'm not surprised. This is the sort of selfish behavior that is expected of a draft dodger. Never mind the fact that his concert tickets were sold out. His own interests come first. I don't even know the guy yet I'm already forming a bad opinion of his character. It's the sort of thing a chao keng private would do to make your NS life that much harder. Good riddance.
