2.0

2.5. I'm still not convinced about the Singlit Short Story - it continues to read like a primary school composition, even if the idea behind this collection is great. I love the thought of examining what Singapore means - what different parts of Singapore mean to different people - but the style is just not to my taste. I mean that one about Redhill where the brother gets a scholarship! I was so happy! It was an honour! replete with exclamation marks? Sorry, but that's no advertisement for local literature.
