Thanks a ton for your appreciation mails.
And yes! as what Mehmood points out, others should write to the
newspaper with more/better feedback. Otherwise impact is very less.
Please do send in your views,preferably supportive ;) to
news@newstoday.com.sg. And you give your full name and contact
number. Anonymous mails are not accepted.
I leave the responsibility to someone, who can write to Straits
Times.
A lot of people have not seen the article. In case you want to, You
can go to www.todayonline.com look for Friday 22,2006 edition. Go to
the voices section, Page 33.
Regards,
Sriram.C.S
