Re: Former Deputy PM Goh Keng Swee passes away

May I know what is the relevance of this news to the GLBT community?  May I know if there's any thread about NAC/MITA cutting of Wild Rice Pdtn grants & discussion?

Not yet. Would you like to create one? It's an interesting topic.

They made quite a big deal of his funeral (don't mean this in the bad way). And all my colleagues and family can think of is, got public holiday anot? Haha, shows how many of us think. Wonder when it will be HIS turn and how long public holiday we will get when that happens. Oops...  big_smile

Judging by the rather dismal online participant rate and the wild accusations from another post of mine, it's kinda once bitten, twice shy. Jean may start, think she has enough maturity & clout, it seems, judging from her posts...

interesting point about Wild Rice. I wonder what is happening inside MDA.

Didn't Wild Rice just celebrate their 10th anniversary?

Sorry guys but shouldn't we start another thread for this topic and not veer to far from this current one? Don't want to sidetrack ourselves. Besides, even though not GLBT related, it still is news and I do appreciate Treefrog sharing it.

Why don't you start one? Or we can ask Admin to move topic on Wild Rice here to a new thread.
