Discussion on Dr Ong Teck Chin

[toddles]

For business trips, sometimes requirement is to share hotel rooms, esp if it’s in a particularly expensive city where there are no so-called cheap rooms due to time of year etc…


anyway, it’s very sad that the verdict has come to this…

i guess for ourselves, is not to judge and tsk tsk abt it, since no one is without fault in this world… and just to guard ourselves, since we can fall in little ways and big ways without warning…

Having said that... we should not condone any moral error regardless of how successful or intelligent the person is.
Most ppl would just look the other way... while a lesser few would be the whistle blower.
e.g.... LTA fraud case... MOE scholar porn case...

Maybe what WeiHan is getting at, is that Mark liked this, and because he got extra money and promotions, he went ahead with it. But ever since Dr. Ong asked for too much, he disagreed…

Dear Muffins,

It might not have been a question of 'like'. A number of people have had uncannily similar experiences, and they start with actions that are innocuous in themselves, followed by plausibly deniable actions, and then turning into what might be described as experiences with echoes of various psychopathologies. There's a gradation. A bit like boiling a frog.

The only reason the large number of encounters go unreported is that they are plausibly deniable. Yet when you put them together, they form a pattern. And it is not a very nice one, or at least, a statistically improbable one — a bit like flipping a coin and it keeps landing on its edge.

I like your analogies. What do you mean by boiling a frog?

If you put a frog in pot of water at room temp and start heating it up, the frog will still be happy in the pot at beginning without realizing the danger it is in. However, when the water gets warmer and then too hot to bear, it's already too late to escape. This is my interpretation of this analogy

:lol: Thanks pecalis and toddles.
