Talking of General Bey LG (little god), I like the story, currently going the rounds, of him talking at (as opposed to listening to) a group of ex-pat pilots corralled at a recent “tea party”.
To score some point, LG triumphantly pointed out that he could get three Bangladeshi captains for the price of one ex-pat SQ captain.
The momentary silence was followed by the swift rejoinder that SQ could get three Bangladeshi generals for the price of a Singaporean one and, moreover, they’d be proper ones, not comic opera armchair ones!
