A kind Grab driver went the extra mile to return his passenger's credit card! Humanity is not lost.

I would like to thank you, grandma, your mother Mdm Neena and brother in lending a helping hand when I was so helpless on a busy traffic CTE! I was rushing to TTSH as mom was in A&E. The Trans cab that I boarded was running out of petrol and I had no choice but to leave the cab. I was trying so hard to flag for any car that would give me a ride to the hospital and thank God that your brother stopped his car!

So strange. Someone asked me, "How can you have no gratitude for the good life that the PAP has given you and turn your back on the founding fathers? Whaaaaat? That's the silliest, dumbest thing that I've ever heard. These idiots really think that Singapore belongs to the PAP.

The creation of the hoax website falsely announcing former prime minister Lee Kuan Yew’s death, at a time when he is critically ill, shows that some of us have forgotten the virtue of gratitude (“Concern mounts amid outrage at rumours”; yesterday). Given the situation Singapore was in soon after independence in the 1960s, Mr Lee had no choice but to rule with an iron fist, to ensure law and order in Singapore. He did what he knew he had to do at that time.

i believe that LKY is a good man and within his capabilities and resources 50 years ago, he did a good job in the building of this nation that the world look up to (ya ya i know being the most expensive city to live in isn't desirable). Singapore might not be the best place to make a living right now but I'm still thankful for the shelter over my family's head, food on my table and the security of the country. I'm not worshipping (and not asking you to) LKY, I'm just asking you to be respectful and show some gratitude to the man who made significant contributions to Singapore.
