Internet Society honours local scientist Tan Tin Wee
28 Apr 2012 | 6:39 pmThe Internet Society (ISOC) honoured one of Singapore's Internet pioneers, scientist Tan Tin Wee, 50. At ISOC's 20th anniversary celebration last Monday in Geneva, it inducted Associate Professor Tan into the Internet Society's Hall of Fame. As I wrote in The Sunday Times on April 29, Prof Tan passionately believed that the Internet should be accessible to everyone, no matter what language they speak or write in. In the 1990s, he led a research team to invent a software that could read non-Latin languages and displayed it in a browser. One language he championed was Tamil. This is a story… -
Dreams of distant Mandalay

Today, when I return to Delhi I go for walks in the Lodi Gardens, a huge park which houses a series of mausoleums and a big ancient mosque. In the mausoleums are the graves of the Pashtun kings of the Lodi dynasty who ruled Delhi from 1451 to 1526, before the Mughals arrived from Central… -

And his savings grew and grew to nearly US$10 billion. Last quarter, Apple had such a sterling quarter, it added US$16 billion to this mound of money.

5 Year Anniversary
13 May 2012 | 10:08 amFive years ago Kingsley and I were walking down the aisle...what a magical day that was. It many ways it all seems like a blur now that I look back on it. It doesn't feel like it was only 5 years ago. It feels like it was just yesterday that our friends and family were gathering to celebrate our union as we said "I do". Here we are 5 years later and our love has continued to grow stronger as each day passes. It's been an amazing adventure - getting married, buying a house, changing jobs, moving to Singapore, exploring the world. Life together has certainly never been dull. There have… -
