• Not a review but this is not an interesting hook IMO. The fact that a bureaucrat was one of first two to receive a degree from a particular university says nothing about his importance or achievements and doesn't entice me to click to find out more about him. Surely there must be something more interesting? Cbl62 (talk) 21:40, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Good point, how about ALT1 ... that as head of Singapore's Secret Branch, George Bogaars oversaw the detention of 113 suspected communist sympathisers? KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 01:03, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
