ON a day when the national press seemed to deem it necessary to bury bad news -- a topical expression -- it was generous of the BEN to mark the 60th anniversary of the fall of Singapore.
I say this not because I figured prominently in the feature, but because of the very thoughtful opinion editorial headed "Lest We Forget", and relating to it.
To some of us every day is Remembrance Day. That is how it will remain until we meet up with absent friends again in another and better place.
There is no doubt that despite the Singapore debacle, Winston Churchill was a great inspirational war leader.
