COMMENT (Adapted by Kua Kia Soong from The H-Block Song , Dec 18, 2011)

“I am a proud yet simple man

In the lion city my life began

A caring teacher I became

In search of truth and peace -

And when my age was tender still

My country’s wrongs my mind did fill

By tens of thousands patriots’ trills

And my questions would not cease …

Chorus: Don’t shed no tears for my plight
