Punggol East By-Election coming ? MP steps down

[concern2]

Gooby:

As long his dark secrets or private affairs are not exposed, he is regarded with high moral standard.

You have had me thinking.

Since it is human to err, what kind of mistakes would you condone of a would-be politician? Say, if the mistake or failure was made more than 5 years back before he becomes a candidate for election?
1) EMA?
2) Bankruptcy?
3) Drunk driving?
4) Hit and Run?
5) Sex scandal before marriage?
6) Dismissed from x-company?

Please feel free to add to my list.

Now that you mentioned it....

First, YSL.. (kena whacked the hardest).. MSM hitting hard at the man.. no attempt to dig out the woman

Then, the CNB and SCDF..?

Then.. lastly.. the MP.. with MSM hitting hard at the woman and all attention on her.. while the man's act being promoted as \"honorable\"..

The sequence of events.. seems to be in favor of the MP's exposure (which, could have been inevitable somehow due to evidences in someone's hand? How long was the affair and did it started before YSL?)

hmm.........

MSM has been very kind to MP so far. Different treatment from all other scandals! Somehow, doesn't seem quite right.

know why? because internal info said that this woman is a what is english called for 'wolf something in chinese'?

She climbed the corporate ladder very fast but in a wrong way which internal people found very disgusted.

Point finger to her is a natural human being reaction.

But some scandals are criminal in nature mah.

How do you define stupidity?

Hm...I vaguely recall posting my reply here...and seeing this question here still standing makes me feel obligated to explain myself.

Anyway, since my older version is gone now, I might as well rephrase it.

In this case, it is equivalent to foolishness - lacking or exhibiting a lack of good sense or judgement; unwise. One sees so many other cases going on and still making the same foolish mistake; knowing the consequences that it has a tendency of destroying trust, a loving home, yet still do it; knowing it might jeopardize own career and reputation yet still do it, or perhaps even contract diseases and still do it - I just don't get it.

Perhaps I think they are stupid whilst they think I am the stupid one to believe that everyone has the ability to be above all these, that it can be done.

I hope the person responsible for publishing the screen grab of the initimate messages between the parties involved wont be 'punished' too severely. He/she must have struggled for a while before deciding to go ahead with the revealation since the info was sent to TNP 2 days before the official resignation of MP. It is unusual for a media to hold back such juicy news.

All Animals are equal, some Animals are more equal!

All Animals are equal, some Animals are more equal![/quote]This case is unique in one thing - both personnel are under the umbrella of one political party. There are no law suits involved, no court case. Little chances of further information being dug out or disclosed that will put them under further scrutiny. For all you know, the case might be passe in one weeks' time or even less. BTW, has anyone read the article by Today that Punggol East Residents are not in a hurry for a by-election? Haha.

I do not know her personally. But I do believe that success breeds jealousy, especially at the workplace, more so among the female species of homo sapiens. That explains for all the pictures of her that surfaced in the media...adding oil to fire.

How bad she is as a person does not make the one who 'willingly falls into her trap' a victim. How about men who patronise women in the fresh trade? These women's virtue is questionable. But it does not make the men who go for them any more honorable.

Still, it does not explain the blackout on further news on MP!

What other news you want? Or do you just want to have the same old news repeated ad nausem?
