Little Red Dot

"It shows that even a country that has been likened to a "little red dot"can make the world sit up and take notice."

I'm weary of cliches.

Someone described Singapore as the "little red dot" for the 231,789 time today.

And I mean Today.

It's crazy.

Why do people write like that?

In another article, Catherine Lim describes us a society that does not read.

A society that does not read does not think.

A society that does not think get others to think for them.

A society that gets others to think for them repeat what others say.

A society that repeats what others say is guilty of cliches.

There is no worse cliche than a little red dot.
