3Boys:
That's why I said \"I would like to\".
Oxymoron.Mdm Koh:
Although I would like to maintain a non-partisan view on this, I am quite disdainful of people who use this incident to score points for the PAP.
I don't think your view is non-partisan at all.
The corruption case is off the headlines precisely because it was dealt with openly and decisively. The men have lost their jobs, even if the extent of the wrongdoing is yet to surface. It may turn out to be that there is not really a lot to answer for, apart from a gross misdemeanour.
YSL has done the polar opposite, which is why he is still in the headlines.
It's not easy to be non-partisan. I can only try to be as neutral as possible. As I have stated in a previous post, I personally dislike YSL.

The big picture here is politics, the small picture here is the people and their families. If we are not quick to judge, we can see every picture clearer.

People often only hear what they want to hear, see what they want to see.
Some say they are non-partisan but their views seemed otherwise leh… -
(UPDATED 12 Feb, 1145am, adding reax, details)
A former principal at a top school and several senior civil servants have been called up as part of a major police probe into an online prostitution ring, local media said.
Up to 80 people are assisting police in their investigations, reported The Straits Times.
The ex-principal and top civil servants, all from various government departments, have since stepped down from their posts, reported Chinese daily Shin Min Daily News.
The paper reported that they were implicated when police carried out an island-wide raid against the vice syndicate in late December.
A list that revealed the names of the syndicate's clients were among the items that were seized during the police raids. It was also reported that the syndicate operated a call centre out of Bukit Timah and specialised in Korean girls.
The former school principal in question is believed to be in his 30s, and married with a son. He is also known within the sporting industry and was an official with a national youth team, reported The Straits Times. He is also said to have abruptly quit his school post in December.
A former scholarship recipient is also believed to be among the 80 people involved, said another Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao.
Police have so far declined to reveal further details on the investigation.
Late last December, police conducted an island-wide operation to bust an online vice syndicate.
Around 23 people were apprehended during the eight-hour raid. Items such as cash, laptops, bank books, ATM cards and transaction records were seized.
At the same time, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) is also currently investigating the alleged misconduct by top public officials Peter Lim and Ng Boon Gay.
Lim is the ex-Singapore Civil Defence Force Commissioner while Ng used to lead the Central Narcotics Bureau.
Public reaction to the latest investigation has been mixed.
Jon Ng commented on Yahoo! Singapore's Facebook page that \"Civil service personnel (are) also human beings and susceptible to temptation and lust.\"
Cleavan Yan said the latest case involved \"human weakness\" that had nothing to do with profession. \"Whether it's legal or not, human right violation it not involved,\" he wrote.
In Singapore, prostitution or hiring the services of a prostitute is not illegal but trafficking, soliciting and living off the earnings of one is.
Meanwhile Sean Ho called for more transparency and commented that the latest investigation could be \"just the tip of the iceberg\".
\"I think we are just scratching the surface here. Let's hope there is transparency so that our taxpayers' monies are going into the pockets of the real servants of Singapore,\" he wrote.
NUS political science lecturer Dr Reuben Wong said, \"We don't know who the public servants are, how senior they are, or how they are involved.\"
\"We live in strange times. Many governments allow and tax prostitution, but will not tolerate any unlicensed syndicates,\" Dr Wong said.
This case reminded him of Eliot Spitzer, the former governor of New York, who lost his job after patronizing prostitutes from a prostitution ring.
\"We do not have enough information to say whether the cases are similar,\" Dr Wong added.

any update to the above ?
any reporters trailing them ? why not ? -
verykiasu2010:
Why would public interest in a school principal who patronised a prostitute be higher than public interest in a prominent opposition MP in an adultery case? If you were running a newspaper, of ANY political bent, which would be more newsworthy for you?
then the bust on the online prostitution ring involving senior personnel in education and disciplinary services etc .... still no news ? come clean already ?
school principal some more .... where are the reporters trailing him or not ?
this is not anti-PAP nor anti-YSL nor anti-Opp, but some news never got follow through eventhough they are worse than YSL's ema, especially when the are supposedly role models and enforcement officers
once again, I am not against any party or anyone, simply kaypoh to know more about other cases....dan't flame me hor
In the first instance, the misdemeanour was admitted to, and action taken. In YSL's case, mum's the word. That still remains the difference in all of this. -
YSL has already been sacked so he would even talk lesser about his EMA which is entirely private…so mum’s the word is even more of the case now. The corruption case should come to light soon so that people are assured that our investigation has a proper closure for corruption even though the Chiefs have been suspended from their roles.

As I have stated repeatedly in this thread, I don't care 2 hoots about YSL's affair. I think its a damn shame that he should step down. I honestly believed if he had manned up, he had half a chance of surviving the scandal.
Do I (me personally) need YSL to account to me (me personally)? Absolutely not. Its a personal affair, its tragic, the consequences for him and the families involved, absolutely tragic. I also do not wish for the media to keep hounding him.
But as with such things, everything takes on a anti-g'ment slant. Suddenly, there is a conspiracy to discredit the WP, engineered by the PAP. Suddenly, KBW should keep his mouth shut and not score political points off the WP (although WP have been doing the same things for decades). Why does the PAP commenting on YSL have to be tied to the current public servant cases? Does it not have enough gravity of its own that its worth a comment or two? He IS an elected MP, you know?
The pro-PAP camp have been using YSL to distract from the ongoing issues? The way WP and YSL have handled this, they hardly need any help from the PAP.
I say again, I feel saddened by the failings of men. Whatever your personal feelings about WP and YSL, his personal failings have caused a tragedy for him and his family, and tainted the hard work of the WP and LTK. I find NO JOY in this whatsoever.
However, I feel that I really cannot abide by selective hearing loss, hence my copious posts in a thread I had swore to keep out of in the beginning. -

Actually 3Boys, you are not the trigger of the recent heated discussion here. It is the media and their coverage so don't feel upset. Your contribution is valued and it is always good to have diverse views from everyone as long as it is not personal.ksi:

What is important is you have flagged out your views for consideration and people will take time to process and internalise. No one's view can really be absolute in our discussion here since we are all not the first persons in the reported cases.
Hope to see your continued contribution, maybe sometimes knee-jerking but always worth the read as food for thought.
