I read the article, “Political forum reflects on Singapore’s growing pains,” by Belmont Lay, with great interest because I attended the forum as well and stayed throughout.  

While I remember many of the issues brought up during the forum, which Lay reflected, I’d like to disagree with Lay’s recollection of it on a few regards, disagreements which may have been triggered, perhaps by the choice of a few unfortunate words.

Thanks so much for sending me the link. I will now take the liberty to provide some feedback.
