"Warren tries to play the patriotic Singaporean by questioning all other Singaporeans their drives to make Singapore work and their commitment to drive Singapore forward. As with the old man, he believes the foreigner has the bigger drive than Singaporeans. Another story to belittle Singaporeans when he cited the example of an Indian-American whom he felt as "being more upbeat and passionate about the city-state and its prospects than many Singaporeans". And the reason for this foreigner to feel upbeat about is because he wanted Singaporeans to view our position as the global stage, a window for the world and for people who would be drawn here to find their pot of gold, and to transform us into an Asian Hub. He insisted that we should not mind if this mean we have to accommodate 8 million people. This is the kind of so-called intellectuals Warren wants us to place our faith in."
