yeah, saw this in the papers and they printed a rebuttal by Eric in the papers again the following week.

Also on Asiaone forums, he gets blasted.

That's why I always find this section of the paper the most amusing

Love the fact that he gets attacked for being an expat while not having his points addressed.

True true. When you can't structure a meaningful argument, go after the low-hanging fruit, regardless of how irrelevant it may seem.

An interesting article I came across, since the unspoken, but not unpracticed divisiveness of us/them, local/expat, race is barely glossed over by the official line. (I am not saying that this is uniquely SG, just that the hypocrisy is close to the surface when I have a moment at work to troll the forums)
