By merely writing about ills, Mr Pitafi has only gone through an exercise instead of actually contributing something
SINGAPORE: This is with reference to Farrukh Khan Pitafi’s article, “A federation of dunces” (March 21). I believe that the writer has fallen victim to an element mentioned in his article. According to the writer, “liberals and the moderates who represent the masses are too busy saving their own small share of the spoils”. By merely writing about all the ills that afflict our nation, Mr Pitafi, much like everyone else, has only gone through an academic exercise instead of actually contributing something positive to society in a practical manner.
