When I received a call the other day about another long-lasting IT publication folding, I was greatly saddened. It seems that at least one major IT media company/title fold each year.

Are electronic media, blogs and other social network sites really taking over from mainstream print media? While these have proven to be interesting sources of news, thesse should supplement but not kill off traditional media.

What’s happening to journalism? In today’s world, practically anybody can be a media person. Sigh…

What does it mean to be 44? To a 44-year-old, it’s about taking the first steps in the second half of his life.

But what about a nation? When we think of countries, 44 years old is considered very young. China has thousands of years of history, the US has more than 200 years. At 44, Singapore has accomplished much and as a citizen, I an proud to be a Singaporean.

I thank God for what He has blessed our nation with so far and look forward to continued growth and achievements in the days ahead.

Happy 44th birthday, Singapore!
