Happy Winter Solstice Festival!

Today, many Chinese families will be eating tang yuan (glutinous rice balls in syrup) as a symbol of family unity. 

Sir Fong wishes your family happiness and good times on this festive season!

Sir Fong represents Singapore in the annual IASL International Book Exhibit!

A school librarian has brought Sir Fong comics to represent Singapore in Qatar!

The International Book Exhibit is an activity of the IASL Children's and Young Adult Literature Special Interest Group. Each year at the International Association of School Librarianship conference, the Children's and Young Adult Literature Special Interest Group collects and displays books that represent the countries and regions of IASL membership. These books are donated by members and others to give to the host country to share with the children and youth of that community. At the close of the conference the books are distributed to the most appropriate libraries in the host country.

Sir Fong's writeup in Malaysia in Sin Chew Daily

I received this quite late. The article appeared in September. Enjoy!

Sir Fong visits Thailand orphanages!

Science belongs to everyone! Great scientists, engineers, doctors can come from humble beginnings.

Hence, Sir Fong was more than delighted when Project LOVE, a non-profit initiative started by Mr Jose Tay (http://www.facebook.com/josetay.sg?fref=ts) asked for comic books to be donated to the orphanages and migrant learning centres in Thailand.

Since Book 3 and 4 both featured a Thai hospital museum (Siriraj Forensic Museum) and a Bangkok fashion designer (Tawn C), Sir Fong feels glad that these kids will read about good science being practiced in their own country!

If you like to contribute or donate to this project, contact Mr Tay on Facebook:
