Nury Vittachi: You know, it seems to me that there is so much bad stuff going on: terrifying culture wars in the US, Europe is on fire (literally), Eastern Europe is in a hot war, Germany is in economic crisis, Sweden is becoming scary, etc etc. If the big bad headline news in Asia is that a politician in China and/ or Singapore may have kissed the wrong person—well, I’m glad I live here. This sort of crisis I can deal with. 你知道，在我看來，有太多糟糕的事情正在發生：美國可怕的文化戰爭，歐洲著火（字面意思），東歐陷入熱戰，德國陷入經濟危機，瑞典變得可怕 等等。如果亞洲最大的壞新聞是中國和/或新加坡的政客可能吻錯了人 – 那麼，我很高興我住在這裡。 這種危機我能應對.
