I was at the Changi Airport staff canteen on Saturday to send off my sis who was going to Brisbane on a school trip, lucky duck! After a while, my attention was drawn to the noticeboard displaying Best Staff for the various months.
One name stood out from the rest. I thought I was seeing things so I went closer and indeed my eyes had not deceived me. It was what I thought it was.
The last word is obvious enough. The first is the chap's name and the middle word literally means "son" in Malay. So put together, it says, "Helman, Son of Hitler". Gosh this is either a fake name he'd given his boses or his grandad was a mean SOB who named his dad Hitler!
Or maybe, he was totally ignorant of world events or at least who Hitler was! Though considering we were more concerned about the Japanese occupation in South East Asia than the Germans occupation of Europe - well not me exactly since I wasn't born yet at the time, but you know what I mean - that isn't too far fetched to believe, actually! Poor lad though! Wonder how much ribbing he got growing up!
