A Sketch that Screams a Message

From My Sketchbook:

Tan Jee Suan

This is one subtle drawing that uses irony to forward a chilling message... a brilliant piece.

Yep, Feynman is my favourite scientist. Smart, witty, and nonconforming. His imagination and creativity is boundless; after all, the idea of nanotechnology (though not the name) was first conceived by him. His books (which are usually transcripts of his talks/lectures) are wildly entertaining yet educational.

Heh... I think if he's a Singaporean, he either a) won't be so smart at all, or b) emigrate to other countries. As for ending up in jail... it really depends on whether he criticises the government before or after he becomes famous (or gets his Nobel Prize).

He would certainly heavily criticise Singapore's education system, that's for sure.
