Way2GO:
No action/no comment is one course of action.Lilac66:
The reason for this earlier post is when the WP and YSL kept mum on this, and no action was taken. (bef YSL's resignation).
The pt I'm trying to drive at is that the sexual harrassment was only \"rumoured\", circulating online. Yet, this candidate came out in the open to refute the allegations . At least ,with this, some that were sitting on the fence , might be won over that he may be innocent.
See the glaring contrast with YSL's ? Assuming he's innocent (by now I'm sure he's not), by coming out to face the allegations squarely will win him alot of new converts. Get my point?
Don't want to go into details on Steve Tan's case.
Suffice to say he n party took d best course of least risk n PAP can afford not to field him.
I got ur point but I don't agree with d comparison.
Diff situations call for diff response.
Don't wanna go over old ground dat I hv covered
(but those points r in dis forum if u care to read). :celebrate:
No action/no comment is one course of action if nobody bothers about it. But I think it's not a wise course of action if many are awaiting your response.
As for Steven Tan's case, whether they can afford to risk him or not, PAP is risking their reputation also by dropping him. People will question why PAP did not screen candidates properly for such an event like that to happen. They could act like it did not happen as it was only circulated online, but they went ahead to ask him to step down.
Anyway to each his own, won't want to repeat myself like an old broken tape. Hence I'll retire from this thread (must scratch the itch if it makes me want to post again).

What…? Another woman involved with YSL…?? A PRC lady this time…??? Reported in The New Paper…??? When will this ever end…? See my point abt leopard & spots…?
This PRC lady, who is married, as well, confirmed the affair with The New Paper reporter…!
There IS really a pattern here, isn’t there…? -
Vote PAP:
If he \"cheats\" his wife's MONEY, then, your comparison to \"cheating\" the public is valid.
As I have mentioned, if an MP can lie or cheat his or her spouse, who is the closest person to him/her, then he will have little to stop him from doing same to his constituents, who r not as close to him/her. On top of that, it's political suicide, as henceforth, YSL, LTK et al will no longer have credibility if they call on any individual & or any political party to be transparent or accountable... Right...?
Else, it is an invalid comparison, if you're saying that if he seek secondary emotional needs means he will seek secondary source of income (from corruption etc..).
They have to be accountable to the public if it concern the interests of the public.
Else, they just need to be accountable to the parties involve.. i.e. the family members.. -
Vote PAP:
So.. did you call for a full disclosure?
If someone in PAP was rumored to hv slept with the spouse of someone, I'd call for a full disclosure as well. It's not about party politics here. It's abt whether u hv voted in someone who is honest & trustworthy, given the high responsibility the office holds.

But still that has been water under the bridge already.. isn't it?
Maybe the blue learn from the white.. -
Vote PAP:
And in what position are you to assume that he is not honest to his wife and his wife did not approve of his acts?
If I vote in someone to parliament, I'd like to know that, apart from doing a good job, he/she must be honest & trustworthy too. These are just basic criterias of what is required.
Did the wife comment?
Sorry.. maybe I hv lost track.. is there any evidence to suggest that he is Not \"honest and trustworthy\"?
Did the wife comment that YSL was not honest with her? or that she did not trust YSL?
Having EMA itself != not \"honest and trustworthy\".
Having EMA w/o the spouse's awareness or approval then is = not \"honest and trustworthy\". -
limlim:
Wife approve of his EMA adventures? u kidding me?

.
Women r very protective of their turf;
such generous wife is a rarity, if they exist at all.
Makes me recall d case of a retired Minister, cabinet level,
who met a constituent who came to his MPS to seek help.
He married her secretly.
His 1st wife was very angry when she found out. -

only he and his wife knows.. I'm not in a position to comment :evil: :evil:

But I agree that it is rare.. very.
But as the SPF likes to highlight.. \"low crime\" != \"no crime\".., unlikely != impossible.....
as for the 2nd cases.. is it possible? married secretly..? SG practice monogamy right.. how did they \"get married\"? unless you're talking abt unregistered ones.....
edit: btw, in SG, muslims can marry 4 wifes right.. legally..
so.. if there are real cases/examples.. it's not impossible, isn't it? Just that it is illegal for Chinese doesn't mean it is 100% not acceptable.. -

Correct practice is husband must seek permission fr 1st wife.
Heard he wrote a bio but I haven't read it.
d way d MIW handled it was to ship him n 1st wife out of SG on an ambassadorship.
2nd wife remains in SG.
He is still ard, BTW. -
You can't blame the avid PAP supporters for taking the chance to 借题发挥。If a PAP MP was found to have done something morally incorrect, the avid opposition supporters would slam him on the Internet too.
The WP is not the only party, and it won't be the last, to misjudge the integrity of one or two of its candidates. There were also a few former PAP MPs who were arrested and convicted.

If u understand human psyche, u wouldn't say tt. Here, we r talking abt an individual's propensity to cheat in order to satisfy his perceived needs; in this case, lust, even at the expense of losing or the threat of losing all.

When an individual is used to cheating in any one area of his or her live, he or she will exhibit similar traits in other areas of his or her live, if there's a perceived need in that area.
It all to do with id, ego, & super-ego. Read Freud...
In short, if u r so used to cheating & getting away with it, u will no longer possess the will power to stop yourself.
Lim lim, maybe this will speak louder to u: if u were cheated by YSL, would u rather he got to your $$$ or your wife...? Loud & clear enough?
Another point; u should try to calm the respective family members of the ladies that that YSL was naughty to, by saying:\"well, at least YSL didn't cheat u of ur money mah...rite? So calm down lah, no harm done, it's only wife mah...\"
Well...? I mean, I can understand your sentiment if u r a die-hard-ardent-fan of YSL. In that case, YSL is a saint & can do no wrong...!
