Singapore belongs to Singaporeans and not to the PAP. No doubt many Singaporeans, myself included are grateful that the first generation leaders got us onto the right track for good economic development. That does not mean that we approve of undemocratic methods to entrench themselves in power. If the people chooses to let PAP continue to be the vastly dominant ruling party, that will be their choice but it should not be because of threats over their own well-being.
Is "myself included" correct or not needed?
Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
It is both correct and needed. It makes it clear that the author holds the opinion mentioned.
@tanguatlay,
It is correct. It adds meaning to the sentence (the writer is emphasizing their point of view). I would put a comma after "included".
@tanguatlay,
Quote:threats over their own well-being.
Can you suggest improvements to this phrase?
@knaivete,
that will be their choice but it should not be because of threats
to their own well-being.
I would probably break that last sentence into two separate sentences (but that is a different issue).
@maxdancona,
Lovely work Miss Tan Guatlay Maxdancona.
Threats to their wellbeing is how it's put in British English.
Stumble It!
