F-word during the NTU valedictory speech by Trinetta Chong

Ok... How should I start? Even I am at a loss to approaching this question :D

Let's just say that we hear so much of crude words in our private conversations that we have become insensitive to such once taboo words. Even I have to admit that I close one eye whenever a classmate of mine says such vulgarities, whether it is in Hokkien, or the four-lettered word.

However, this is to my surprise that even the NTU valedictory speech can contain such profanities. Moreover,  this student, Trinetta Chong, is apparently a graduate from the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information. Doesn't she have any word better to say besides the the f-word to express her feelings then?? Moreover, the fact that she is a valedictorian shows that she has immense popularity among her peers. Instead of encouraging her schoolmates to be more crude in their conversations, why can't she use her popularity to influence her schoolmates to be more civil? In fact, just to digress a little, people always say that if you wish to change the world, you just need to change yourself. This is especially applicable to celebrities and royals, who are looked up to by millions of fans. These fans always wish to imitate the celebrities' actions. Instead of taking drugs and committing crimes like nobody's business, celebrities should start doing good.


To end this extremely short post, let me just say, this is the result of saying profanities and swearing in conversations everyday. I tell you, it would become a habit and these vulgarities will come to you extremely naturally. If you lose your control, the first words that come to you will definitely be these profanities. To my classmates reading this post, let me advise you, BE CIVIL IN YOUR CONVERSATIONS FOR ONCE! :)
