Letter from 15 year old Ernest Chen, Saturday 19th April 2008
Dear Mr Gopalan Nair ,
My name is Ernest Chen and I am a Singaporean student studying in
Singapore and I am 15 this year. I have been faithful in reading
your blog entries since the start of this year and I really enjoy
your critical comments on Singapore and the government. I really
agree that living in Singapore is unbearable and I am sure that you
would be delighted to know that not all students are brainwashed by
the Singapore's regimented education system.
Hence, I would like to ask for permission for the use of your blog
entries. Of course, I will not copy chunks of words from your blog,
instead, I will want to use your ideas, and come out with essays on
my own, using my own words. The idea and structure will be resemble
yours, but the the words I use will be simpler as my target is to
students like me.
So again, I would like to ask for your permission to adapt your
posts to put them on my blog. I hope you would consider allowing me
to do so.
I hope that you would reply to my email.
Thank you very much.
Ernest Chen
