Net rumour that Yaw Shin Leong having extra-maritial affair

[limlim]

cfan:

So it is no longer a rumour

Still a rumour. They sack him bcoz he didn't address the rumour, hence lack accountability.

SYLVIA:

\"Shin Leong has been accused of several indiscretions in his private life. By continuing not to account to the Party and the people, especially the residents of Hougang, he has broken the faith, trust and expectations of the Party and People.\"

raysusan:

WP vs PAP vs independent candidate YSL? :evil: :evil:

Yeah, just saw the news headline on CNA. And chairman SL apologies to Hougang residents for putting them thru a by-election. No reason was given for his sack, but we all know what it is.


I'm disappointed that it has taken WP so long to do the right thing - asked YSL to come clean with the EMA allegation and removed him from the party. This is the 'transparency' and 'accountability' they have been trumpeting during the GE to the ruling party.

I guess LTK and SL were trying to avoid a by-election, so they rather covered up the whole mess YSL had created, hence 'condoning' his actions. But they probably realised this is doing more harm than good to their party.

Agree with your view. From WP's action we all know it is no longer a rumor. Why would WP expel him otherwise? You think WP did not tell him of the consequences if he had 'no comment'?

Pls lah it is still a rumor? Don't be technical lah. 1 + 1 is 2 and 3 - 1 is not 2? 2 is 2 right?

[Snow Crystal]

From what I understand, SL claimed they asked YSL to address the allegations but he refused. I think that's why WP took some time to respond as they are the 3rd party, not first party. So they cannot refute on his behalf.

By sacking him, they must think he's definitely guilty.

ok, my respect and support for WP has gone up a couple of notches liao.

mebbe it's not angela? :evil: :evil:

There may be truth that he got character flaw.. if that is what matters to you.

But the TR article itself may not be 100% true.. there could be other stories..

So.. while it is safe to assume that YSL is not so \"innocent\".. the article, in itself, is still a rumour.. until proven or ack by the involved parties.

I would consider YSL as \"questionable\" or got character flaw.. but will not believe in the article yet..

Impossible/difficult to find evidence does not equate to justifying a rumour as \"fact\".

Maybe it's just me.. oh well..... so be it.. I only believe in hard facts and evidences..

Just recalled this particular article I read recently.. A boy claimed that while making ice-cream, the hot milk freezes faster than cold milk. It is convenient to assume that cold liquid freeze faster, yes/no? It is natural to assume that he muz be seeing things or lying.. yes/no?

But, w/o actually having seeing the evidence, his teachers and friends all dismiss him as nut case and laugh at him.

It is just so \"unbelievable\" that he is speaking the truth, that hot liquid can freeze faster than cold ones.. Just like it is so unlikely that the rumor is not true, given that he was sacked, keep quiet etc.. isn't it?

So.. was the boy lying? those interested can google or read up on \"The Mpemba effect\".

I don’t quite understand the term by-election. By-election within WP? Or any other party to contest for hougang?

[Angelight]

By election means WP and another party (most probably PAP) will contest for the MP seat in Hougang. Correct me if I’m wrong?
