A Few Good Men

Former MP JB Jeyaretnam dies at 82.

Another shred of hope slipped away, again. He died without realizing his cause after a long and hard battle although stupid to some or the uninitiated ones. Tangible actions or results may not yet be seen from his labour, but Jeyaretnam illustrated his point by his steadfastness, unwavering strength and belief in the human race without a trace of cynicism.

When I heard of JBJ's passing, all I could think of was how Singapore had lost one of the few things it had that resembled a political conscience.
