The Intelligent Singaporean, blog aggregator.
Long, it seems, has The Intelligent Singaporean been a fixture in the Singaporean blogosphere - but no more. Today, their Last Message was posted.
For those who may not know, The Intelligent Singaporean, was brought into being to aggregate all interesting comment in the Singaporean "socio-political blogosphere", to allow Singaporeans, and interested parties overseas, to easily find significant articles of the day, about all things Singaporean.
This has been an important role, for many Singaporeans, for it has made it much easier to access alternative and insightful opinions about all "socio-political" matters affecting Singaporeans today.
The reasons behind the closure of The Intelligent Singaporean (found at Wordpress), are not clearly stated - they are just referred to as "events" that lead the founder of the blog to have to close it down.
I am grateful that The Intelligent Singaporean took notice of my writing on a number of occasions and referenced it.
It is a pity that this role of gathering the ideas and insights of the day, in one convenient place, will no longer be performed by The Intelligent Singaporean. It was a popular and successful blog aggregator/commenter appreciated by many and was listed as one of Technorati's higher ranking blogs.
I wish the founder(s?) of the blog well in whatever future role they play in the blogosphere, if any.

That is a sign that what they were doing is something that people wanted (at least, most people, anyway). Mysterious "events" led to their closure.
Thanks for your well wishes.
