Do you think that the people in the train took a rather long time to speak out and stand up for the boy?
Yes. But that's Singapore for you. The people won't go unless someone makes the initiative. Notice how people were braver once their sentiments were represented.This should be lesson learnt when you want change to happen.
A long story, really.Jaden and I go back pretty far. Our parents were long-time family friends. His father and mine met on an overseas trip, on a collaborative project, before any of us were born.Occasionally his whole family and mine would attend an industry function, and I remember seeing Jaden when he was still a baby. I was probably about 10-11 years old. He was 1-2 years old. A few years passed. I returned to Singapore, and every now and then I saw Jaden. In many ways I've seen Jaden grow up. The families didn't really keep in contact much, after. Just the fact of life. My dad went off to work in another country and industry, his went on to pursue other things. A couple years ago we reconnected online, and finally met again at a chalet. The rest is history.
please tell me generally, without mentioning his name, what he was like as a person/friend to you. (the one you visited who has passed on, as seen on your ig) ((if you do not mind telling, if you mind that's fine <3))
I actually mind. Sorry.
How would you reply to the stereotype that gay/bi guys are generally dumber because most of them are in poly?
I have never, ever heard of that stereotype.Besides, it's 2015. MOE has already shifted away from rote learning and streaming, doing away with the JC > Poly > ITE hierarchy for the last decade at least.To still think in that hierarchy is rather dated, and misinformed. JC kids sometimes jump over to Poly, many poly kids go on to university, and many ITE kids go on to higher levels of learning in certain crafts. So the basis of your question is already flawed and presumptuous, and no way possible to be answered objectively.
