There are causes I believe in. There are charities that I support. I also have a dream of setting up a charitable trust one day to help needy students.
The ultimate aim is to improve the lives of the disadvantaged and their families through education. I didn't think that my efforts should benefit Singaporeans only.
In fact, we have many foreigners living amongst us who are making meaningful contributions to Singapore in many ways. We, Singaporeans, might or might not know it but we could even be calling some of them our friends.
Of course, there are bad hats, people with bad attitudes and ideas. There will always be such people. I have blogged about them. Someone from the U.K. and someone from the Philippines, for examples.
However, don't forget, some Singaporeans are bad hats too. Someone who is the namesake of a famous chocolate chip cookie brand, for example.
Many of us know that one of our more prolific hobbyist financial bloggers here in Singapore is from Indonesia and many Singaporeans follow his blog posts, I have no doubt.
Are there anti-FTs amongst these Singaporean readers?
Ouch.
Yes, it should hurt.
OK, I have recently been warned to stay away from topics which are hot potatoes like this one (especially with the General Election fever running high) because there might be readers who could forget all the good I have done in almost 6 years through my blog.
Well, I can only hope that readers are more rational than that.
I am saying this earnestly.
(In case you are wondering, something that happened on Facebook today provided the catalyst for this blog post.)
