coca cola

a coke is just a coke.
right?
for this particular, it saves our dearest mother's life.
we have baffled by our mother's sudden slimming to bare bones which was not normal.

we gave her a bottle of zero-coke as she asked for it.
little did we realise that it caused immense pain for her chest.

she was seen by 4 doctors and the diagnosis was gastric ulcer.

now we knew what affected her loss of weight since 2017.

integration

MM Lee speaks again on Malay-Muslim integration:“Muslims socially do not cause any trouble, but they are distinct and separate.”

When asked how they could integrate, he [MM Lee] said, “Be less strict on Islamic observances, and say: ‘Okay, I’ll eat with you.’”

“I think we were progressing very nicely until the surge of Islam came, and if you asked me for my observations, the other communities have easier integration — friends, inter-marriages and so on – than Muslims.”

Interview with Charlie Rose,  28 March 2011:

At 31:57 mins of the video:

MM Lee: "I said in that book (“Hard Truths”) that I think that the Malays, that Muslims should be relaxed and eat together with the others."

Charlie Rose: “And it created a firestorm and your son said, the Prime Minister, differed with you.”

MM Lee: “That’s right.”

Charlie Rose: “So, were you right or was your son right?”

MM Lee: *laughs*

MM Lee: “He has to be right because he is the Prime Minister.”

Charlie Rose: “But ... but?”

MM Lee: “But you ask the average person in the street whether what I've said is true."

Charlie Rose: “And they would say?”

MM Lee: “You ask them.”

rebirth
