two unlooked-for, and unexpectedly touching, non-singaporean gestures:

the choir of st john’s college happened to be in singapore to give a concert, and they offered to sing at the lying-in-state. amongst the requiems they also sang kit chan’s home. the video shows them talking to pm lee and ho ching after.

and this obituary from fitzwilliam college, preceded with this simple announcement from the master of the college that ” the college flag is flying at half-mast today.”
