Quotes by Neil Humphreys (?)

“Cultural connections? Where did you learn that? In your metropolitan police cultural classes? He was an Indian Muslim. I’m a Chinese bastard. Apart from eating satay, I’ve probably got more in common with you than him. And we’ve got nothing in common.”
― Neil Humphreys, Bloody Foreigners

“Haw Par Villa is the nutty exception. It's mad, slightly unhinged and overwhelmingly rubbish. Without a doubt, Haw Par Villa is the Louis Tussaus House of Wax of Singapore. There is no higher compliment (...) For it's own sake, Haw Par Villa still had to be terrible, macabre, distasteful and offensive.”

“The rising wave of nostalgia and an increasing interest in heritage sites and historic buildings is perhaps not only a sense of yearning for a lost Singapore, but also the recognition that neither 1959 nor 1965 marked Year One (...) In all the campaigns and features on Singapore's 50th anniversary that I've come across, the Kranji War Memorial was never mentioned. It just doesn't fit the slender narrative. That's such a shame because the cemetery is a fitting, dignified tribute to thousands of Singapore heroes, both local and foreign.”
