Passing of Pres Wee

Nothing much else to say - except that he is well respected by many in Singapore. I guess what we can all learn would be a sense of humility and being down-to-earth, something that many in power may find difficulty in doing. As Dr Wee said, "My university is society" - I absolutely agree - if only those in university would understand the simple yet profound message of this statement.
It seems that the more developed the education system here becomes, the longer a person studies in school - and yet end up not very much better than our forefathers - an irony.
