British man chicken out: I was wrong
28/08/2019
After being lambasted by Singaporeans for
telling them to be grateful to his country Britain for colonising Singapore, the British man chickened out and wrote a non-apology saying that he was wrong.
While he was caught offguard at the responses of Singaporeans who certainly did not look like they appreciate British colonial slavery, Daniel Emlyn-Jones stopped short of issuing an apology, and merely said he had “learnt a great deal”:
“I wrote a letter suggesting that colonial Britain should be given more credit for shaping Singapore (Don’t forget role of colonial Britain in shaping Singapore, Aug 24). I thank Forum contributors for their responses to this letter, from which I have learnt a great deal.”
Afraid of further criticisms and even actions from the authorities, the British coward waxed lyrical about “friendship” and contradicted himself saying that both countries “should forget their past”:
“The best way for different cultures and nations to learn more about one another is through friendship, and I sincerely hope that once the embarrassing mess of Brexit is over, Britain and Singapore can forget the past and deepen their friendship as they move together into the future.”
The Briton signed off himself as a “Dr”, but it is unknown how he attained his title with the two confusing messages he published on the national newspaper.
