Exceptionally well put sir! I for one am highly appreciative of your effort in setting pen to paper and bothering to take the Strait Lies to task.
As you say, it’s predictable that you should receive a rejection slip, but wholly understandable, as that fine medium of a free press has the much more pertinent subjects of HDB contracting, eulogies to the newly opened NE line and fallen trees not being under National Parks care, to air in its letters page, rather than the catastrophic depredation of the national carrier about to be undertaken.
Perhaps the pages of the International Herald Tribune may have a little more space available? Fortuitously, most of the Lies content originates in that medium anyway, so your letter may, eventually, filter to the august pages a day or so later!
Please keep up the good work.
