In reference to the letter written to The Straits Times with regards to SMU students mis-using the National Anthem a few days ago, this is what I have to say.
I don’t care whatever you do it for, a wrong is a wrong. You may have mitigating circumstances, but it is still wrong. In fact, I’m more than disappointed, I’m disgusted.

I am seriously disappointed.
It is a fallible excuse to use advancement of creativity to desecrate a national symbol. Students must know their limits and not use such excuses to test the limits of other Singaporeans who strongly believe in the fundamentals and symbols of our nationhood. No one should have an excuse to belittle the beliefs of others, no matter what the situation might be. This is called being sensitive to other people’s beliefs.
I agree it was creative. But in whatever light you put it, it was wrong. I strongly condemn the students who believed this was a right thing to do and hope they will reflect upon their actions.
I hope SMU students can think more before they act next time, because many of them are going to be business leaders, and the corporate world is going to be a lot more vicious that a couple of words thrown on newspapers. Utterly disappointing.
