Suppressing the dissenting views of intellectuals by the present Singapore government goes back to its earliest days in Nov 1960 with the Enright Affair. Even criticising the government's effort at nurturing a local culture was taboo then.
Here appear occasional jottings of my random musings. Profound or jejune, they reveal the contours of my mental universe, with world history, intellectual history, civilizations, philosophy, religion, society, knowledge, and books as some major themes. Since May 2011, this blog has been exclusively focused on Singapore. All my other reflections are now posted in "Notes from Noosphere" (see link under "Miscellany" on the right margin).
