 | shawn sent this to the class yahoogroups. which reminded me of alfian sa'at's termination. firstly, with reference to the first article, i'd like to comment that americans have had their capacity for intelligence reduced ever since bush jr. was instated as president. (see article conclusion to understand why i think the idea is ridiculous) next, the link between the two newsworthy articles lies in sexuality discrimination. one of the suspected reasons that caused alfian sa'at's termination was due to his sexual orientation, and that the minister of education RAdm Lui is homophobic - which sounds silly, but we understand how the party works, and we're therefore not ruling that possibility out. and if the previously stated assumption were true and terminations executed subsequently, there would be a significant loss in young male teachers in singapore. (but of course, the more probable reason was due to alfian's disregard for the government) on ending, WHY THE HELL DID THEY BOOT ALFIAN SA'AT? i would have loved to learn under him. he is, without doubt, significantly more qualified (and interesting) than any of the people who have, in the past, taught me how to read/memorise books. bah. MOE is not thinking here, as usual. [more] (reply to a query of why the incident has gained so much exposure) the big hoo hah is that everyone wants to sit in his class and absorb. okay, at least i do. i don't think it's a big hoo hah. at least, not on its own. it's just another incident that has been widely publicized enough to be another of those anti-establishment events to add into the opposition handbook. people are just ranting so that they end up in the trendy group of politically incorrect (wrt the current political regime) webloggers. i think maybe the MOE has suspicions to believe he has an ulterior motive to convert young impressionable students into future opposition party members. on the other hand, because his works, in general, do not reach a young impressionable mainstream audience (his works are not part of the literary fare students have to swallow), and the fact that the arts and education are two highly distinguishable industries, helps to explain why his works are still permitted by NAC.
