I know I'm kind of late with this, but...

... couldn't Time Out Singapore have had one professional theatremaker on their list of 40 Heroes instead of just Geetha Creffield?

(I asked her once, before the launch of "last boy", if she could organise a dramatised performance of the poems like she did for Aaron Maniam's book. She didn't get back to me, for understandable reasons - my poems are a little bit too sexy for mission schools.)

Geetha Creffield totally deserves to be there, so I disagree with "instead of". But sure, they could've replaced the Singapore Girl with a theatre person.

Ah well, I suppose she represents the community of teachers we respect in our meritocratic Confucian society. (I do actually mean that, even though I'm saying it with a load of irony.)
