My views

A reader made a comment that the views in my blog and website reflect my bias on investing and insurance.

Of course, it does! It is my opinion. I like to express my views and my reader can make their own judgement, whether they accept or reject my view. This is the purpose of expressing an opinion.

I want to encourage Singaporeans to have a view and to express the view. They should not follow their bosses or leaders blindly. It is easy to have a view when you are clear about the values that govern your character.

Please read this document to understand my five values and how these values shape my social and political choices, and how they agree or disagree with the policies of specific political parties. I live by my values and do not take a view to be "anti-" or "pro-" any political party or person.

Even if I disagree with another view, I do not attack that person or that view. Each person is entitled to his or her own view and deserve to be respected.
