History is important. Not something most Singaporeans will agree on, but I've alway enjoyed history. Afterall, who you are now is because of what people in the past had done.
So I can't help but laugh at the British. A poll showed that the U.K are in need of reforming their eduaction system, or at the very least, the history department of their eduaction system. What else can you say when nearly 25% of them think Winston Churchill was a myth and nearly half thought that legendary English king Richard the Lionheart was, well, a legend. What really surprised me was that 58% of people polled thought Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective Sherlock Holmes actually existed!
Are you kidding?
