Proud to see Singapore student Kenneth Sng making the opening remarks at the 2nd US Presidential #Debate.

Well done Kenneth. Keep the Singapore flag flying high! – LHL

Statement Marking One Year since the Passing of Former President Lee Teng-hui
AIT joins Taiwan in marking one year since the passing of Lee Teng-hui, former president, reformer, partner, and friend of the United States. Taiwan’s profound transition to a vibrant democracy in a little over a decade took place under President Lee’s leadership, and forms the foundation of the U.S.-Taiwan partnership that has brought so much benefit both of our peoples, the Indo-Pacific region, and the world. An alumnus of Iowa State University and Cornell University, President Lee also embodied the deep and broad people-to-people ties which bind the United States and Taiwan. President Lee’s courage and commitment helped transform Taiwan into a beacon of freedom and democracy and in cementing the U.S.-Taiwan friendship destined to endure into the future.

On this Day of National Remembrance, I thought I would share with you this piece by a mother of a Tanjong Katong Primary School alumnus. Her son had gone on the TKPS Mount Kinabalu expedition last year. She describes the preparation undertaken by the school to prepare the children for the trip, and the positive outcomes that resulted. - LHL

It is with a very heavy heart as I write this.
My younger son graduated from Tanjong Katong Primary School last year. And yes, he was among the privileged group of leaders selected for the Omega Challenge Mt K Expedition last year. It is a trip for selected leaders from the various CCAs in school for the graduating batch and the school has been running the programme for years.
It is a simple trip, go to KK, stay a night. Climb Mt K, stay at Pendant Hut. Go Via Ferrata for some fun but challenging activities, go back Pendant Hut to rest. Next morning do summit climb, descend the mountain, stay a night. Home sweet home. No sight seeing, no shopping, no luxurious hotels, no great food. Yet my son had set his heart for the trip for years and actually consciously worked for it by getting into the school prefectorial board.
Prior to the trip, the school scheduled for training sessions which included serious stairs climbing. Students were also encouraged to do their own training daily which many enthusiastically did.
What did the students learned from such a trip? They learned to be prepared by building up their physical. They learned to look out for each other and cheered each other on when the going gets tough. They learned that they could have an enjoyable afternoon without mobile phones, iPads and other electronic gadgets by just chilling and playing board games with friends. They learned to make their own decisions, my boy did not feel too well when he reached Pendant Hut and he decided to forgo the next morning's Via Ferrata's activity so that he could be fully rested and ready for the summit climb the following day. He made the decision on his own, we only knew about it when he came back and recounted to us. They learned to accept setbacks, the whole team did not make it to the summit as the weather was unfavourable and the teacher made a decision to halt the climb. Some cried at the moment. So did they come back depressed and disappointed? No, they came back in high spirits for they had been through a valuable experience.
Does the school have the full support of parents for this programme? I can't speak for others, but they have mine.
Would the school have the courage to continue with programmes that is beneficial for students after this incident? I do hope so.
Why am I writing this now? I just feel that at times like this when many families are still anxiously waiting for news of their loved ones, if we cannot say or do anything positive, let's at least not make things worse.

Alonzo Mourning had his best game. Allen Iverson had another 40-point game. But Tim Hardaway had the shot of the game.
Hardaway's leaning 22-footer over Eric Snow with 5.6 seconds to play gave the Miami Heat an 83-81 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, who wasted 41 points from Iverson.
In a game featuring playoff-like intensity, the 76ers pulled into the sixth and final tie of the fourth quarter when Dikembe Mutombo rebounded a miss by Snow and threw in a hook shot as he was fouled with 17 seconds to go. But Mutombo missed the free throw, leaving the score 81-81.
Hardaway, who had his dribble poked away from him by Snow in the final seconds of a loss on November 4, dribbled to the left of the arc and stepped on the circle as he leaned forward. Snow had a hand in his face, but Hardaway made the shot.
"The shot was a little quick but we probably wouldn't have gotten a better shot than that," Hardaway said.
"He made a good shot," Snow said. "He's made so many in his time. He kind of pushed off and made a great shot with a hand in his face."
The Sixers could not inbound to Iverson, who made 14-of-28 shots in his 17th 40-point game of the season. Instead, Snow passed to Aaron McKie, who passed to Jumaine Jones and took a return handoff before coming up short on a 3-pointer from the left sideline.
"The way Iverson was playing I would have liked to get him the ball," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "They did a good job of keeping the ball out of his hands but we got a pretty good look."
Mourning played his best game since his return from a kidney
ailment two weeks ago. Perhaps motivated by playing against
fellow Georgetown alumnus Mutombo, Mourning had season highs of
20 points and 16 rebounds in 26 minutes and was on the floor
down the stretch.
"I don't care how many minutes I play as long as we get the
`W,'" Mourning said. "I know we have a huge window of
opportunity to get to that championship level. If we just stay
the course, the sky is the limit."
"Adrenaline had a lot to do with it," said Iverson, another
Georgetown alumnus. "He hadn't been playing as well as he did
tonight but Alonzo is a special basketball player. He's an
All-Star in every sense of the word."
It was a big win for the Heat (47-30), who blew an 11-point lead
and had to rally in the fourth quarter. They moved one game in
front of New York in the race for the third seed in the Eastern
Conference -- and the chance to avoid Philadelphia, the East's
top team, until the conference finals.
"Tonight had a playoff feel to it," Riley said.
"It wasn't a playoff game. I know that feeling already,"
Iverson said. "To me, this wasn't a playoff atmosphere. The way
they were jumping around at the end of the game showed me that
they really wanted this game."
