Uncanny Shakes in Sin’pore (Nov25)



Oh my! Hottest day in Sin'pore history Tuesday gone just delivered a knock-on effect later in the week.

Today, Thursday, on the Opinion page of the Straits Times, a continuation of the warm-up/run-down to the anniversary of the great bard's passing—400 years Saturday, seems like yesterday.

Marking out the event and teasing out the relevance in this lit. loving country of Singlish, how might it be best done for any left wondering about all the hullabaloo?

Well, reminding of the iconic totemic poet's business-friendly credentials, of course.

Readers interested can google for the remainder.

Authored here by the founding Dean of the School of Arts and Social Sciences at SIM (Sin'pore Institute of Management); a writer of poems & stories for children, working currently on her first novel.

Ala’mak! as the Malays would exclaim. (Always denying any possibility of blasphemy inherent.)
