Letter to the editor

My next letter to the editor was published in the national newspaper on 20th March 2013.

The excitement and motivation levels have risen :)

Writing letters to the editor is a whole new experience compared to writing a memory or a blog post. The article has to have a few characteristics. For starters, the content has to be well thought, precise, have the potential to make the readers/authorities think and as my good friend pointed out, should be constructive.

Thank you my readers and critics for encouraging me to come up with better articles each time.

As published in Straits Times

I know all of you, who are connected with me/Manu in Facebook have read the letter and the reply, even if you don't live in Singapore and this news does not matter to you. You all read that particular artice in the newspaper because I wrote it. Yes, it matters to me :-)
I am writing this post to thank you guys for being happy for me & also for me to read this in future and rememeber how excited I was about this.
You can imagine my happiest face you have ever seen. Add a bouce to my steps and that's how I looked like, when I saw my name printed in tiny blocks in the bottom left hand corner in an article in the national newspaper. :-) Manu brought the copy of the newspaper. I will take a picture and upload it here sometime.
Meanwhile, sharing the online edition

I was reading today's newspaper, and was pleasantly surprised when I came across this reply from Land Transport Authority. 

I do realize that LTA has replied with just a reassurance and not a complete plan. But, I am glad that they are planning to address the issue. I will do further follow ups as well.
