            [quote]Minister... I'm not giving an excuse...
            The senior sales executive says she sent a short e-mail to MrHeng, explaining that he had misunderstood her...
            She just can't get out of the limelight... :faint:[/quote]She just can't http://i50.tinypic.com/34ecc94.jpg\"> .


            She chose to believe her forgetful son and kicked up a ruckus.

            Now she questioned the Minister \"How did (the minister) know that my son was reminded over and over again?\" contradicting her earlier excuse \"son was dyslexic and therefore forgetful\"?

            :stompfeet: \"I don't know what to say! :faint: \"

                from the interview, it is quite safe to conclude that cut-hair mum is one who always MUST have the last word in any argument.


                pity her hubs and her future daughter-in law šŸ˜“

                      well, if the minister has not spoken to the mum and used her as an example, why shouldnt the mum write to him? what is wrong with that?


                      i am not related to any parties and though i dont approve of her making a police report....lets not bash her unnecessarily.

                      the minister had said: \"Dyslexic people are not forgetful.\"

                      but Ms Cara Tan, 25, a teacher from the Dyslexia Association of Singapore who has taught Madam Ong's son for three years, told TNPS that \"weak memory is one of the characteristics\" of a dyslexic person.

                      She adds: \"It depends on the severity of the condition - there's a whole spectrum from mild to severe.

                      \"In the case of Madam Ong's son, he leans towards the severe, especially in literacy and memory. \"He's 12, but his reading and spelling age is that of a nine or 10-year-old.

                      \"One of his biggest problems is memory
                      .

                      \"He can't remember a number of words even though he's read them before. I realise I have to teach him how to spell it a few times.\"

                      now is that fair of the minister to say \"Dyslexic people are not forgetful\" as he clearly has no idea about the boy's condition?

                        Surely you mean \"future child-in-law\", or what is it you are supposed to call your son's partner?
