HAVING read “Yes! It’s all right to rotan the kids” (Sunday Star, July 7; online at bit.ly/star_discipline), I had to write in as I feel deeply about the issue of inflicting corporal punishment on children.
Our only son Eu Gene (EG) was born 22 years ago and, naturally, we love him dearly, especially after a long anxious wait of 12 married years for him. With both of us parents working from home for many of his formative years, EG enjoyed abundant love from us and was never left overnight alone with any relatives. So at any time, EG could feel, see and hear any one or both of us, so much so that he never needed pacifiers for added comfort.
