Ch'ng Poh Tiong September 2010 column: China: the giant panda in the house
It’s important to get cultural association correct. By saying ‘there’s a giant panda in the house’ and not ‘there’s an elephant in the room’, no one is left in any doubt we are referring to China, and not to Africa, India or Thailand which claim the elephant as native. This giant panda, with its vintage black and white coat, is fond of Old World classics, especially French, predominantly Bordeaux and principally red.

Ch'ng Poh Tiong June 2010 issue column
If Tang China (AD 618–906) represents the high point in Chinese poetry, then the Song – both the Northern (AD 960–1126) and Southern (AD 1127–1279) dynasties – produced the greatest ceramics of that ancient civilisation.

Ch'ng Poh Tiong March '10 column: There's a Tiger in my wine
The ability of Tiger Woods to chat up waitresses and then talk them into bed is really none of our business. Hostesses, though, are another consideration. There’s no unusual skill in hitting on them since, if anything, the nature of their job means that hostesses are more likely to plant wild ideas into our yielding minds. That differentiation aside, if you believe everything you read in the papaers, whether it came to either waiting or hosting staff, Tiger seems to have been even more consistently champion on the mattress than on the green.
