Discussion on Dr Ong Teck Chin
-
"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone"
Not to pre-judge the man, or excuse any possible mis-demeanour, but one needs to be a little circumspect before leaping in and pummeling him.
All of us have bright and dark sides, Dr Ong, by all accounts, was a man of great drive and vision. The school and those around him had done well by him. Did he have some weaknesses, perhaps, but so do all of us. No point gloating over the fall of a public figure, it could be any of us one day. If you are a believer of God, maybe its time to say a prayer for him, his family and the alleged victim/s.
It is sad that his legacy will be forever tarnished by this, but at the same time, a solemn reminder to those in positions of responsibility about the necessity in conducting oneβs affairs in the most upright manner. -

Today's paper already printed in black n white leh... on the allegations...atutor2001:
Very sad to read the report. Really cannot understand why so many of these intelligent guys end up like that. From Anwar to Ming Yi, and now this case. Sign....
Nothing is printed in black n white yet. I dun think it is appropriate to associate Mr Ong with those guys u mentioned in your post.
Let them go and investigate and we shall see...
But he's married with kids... that makes him ?????
So coincidentally... RI Alumini folks has been making the headlines... for the wrong reasons...

Like I said, let's not jump to conclusions. It doesn't mean that the events mentioned imply that the man was involved in homosexual activities. That's speculation.
