bcoz voters are sold the idea of \"whiter than white\" and they expect nothing less :evil:


Isn't that told by 1 or many of the great leaders? It is as seductive as \"Two is Enough\".. And everyone fell for it.. :evil:

Got meh? When? I think it's simply because the voters have succumbed to envy.

IIRC, \"whiter than white\" is first mentioned by our great leaders.

Why shd we expect \"whiter than white\" and appreciate it's importance in leaders is as seductive as why \"Two is Enough\".. bcoz it's just so true..

Because it is still early days yet and the prosecution is still trying to admit his CPIB statements. Hence, the trial within a trial. Whether there are other prosecution witnesses after the trial within a trial, we shall see.

What's your take, admissible?

Should the judge ruled inadmissible, then the prosecutor only left DK's statement.

Technically speaking, during a trial, judges will hear from the witnesses and defendants their testimonies in court. Admitting of statements usually are done after the credibility of the witness/defendant is impeached - ie, cannot trust what he say in court, so fall back onto the statement.

I believe Tey right now had denied something he admitted in his statements to CPIB and hence they are trying to impeach his credibility and have his statements admitted. Countering that move, Tey is now dragging this into a trial-within-trial in an attempt to block the admission by saying that statements were given non-voluntarily.

For DK, appearing as prosecution witness, I think she already gave her testimony and prosecution seems to be okay with her.

Looks like the drama is not going to end anytime soon.

His partners from 20s year old like DK to 40s …such a wide range.
when his wife far away in Japan, seems like he become a "swinging" bachelor in SG.

haha !
now this civil servant woman claim to be his old friend, all ready to defend him, willingly to stand by him. Seems like he got a sweet tongue with women, good acting. He’s a Malaysian, right ? go back Malaysia !

Anyway, \"whiter than white\" is not the same thing as witch hunt. When NBG was acquitted, there was applause in the court and the same people baying for blood say the prosecution should never have been brought in the first place. Let's see what happens in the other two cases.

Guess many are driven by emotions and looking for judgement along the line of moral righteousness which, in the 3 cases, are grossly lacking.

I can't really recall who said it. My impression is it has been a party slogan of sorts since ages ago. Might have came across it on some newspaper articles and can't produce it off hand now. However, I am not the only one who have the impression that \"whiter than white\" is one of the party's \"selling point\"

Quote : \"More seriously, their famous whiter-than-white party slogan has gone down the drain of no return.\"

Whiter than white means \"above board\". If one is clean and above board, why worry?

I feel the prosecution done the right thing. If judgement is that NBG clean, it is good thing too.

Transparency is a good thing. transparency and accountability.. so highly desirable but sometimes lacking in current system.

if one is whiter than white.. there is no way anyone is gonna get a chance to expose any shades of grey or black stuff from him. like having BJ from biz associates and such? Why would a decent guy get BJ & such from biz partners who is NOT the legal spouse..?

I have no comments about those crying for blood and who is fickle or complain either way..

My stand is there must be transparency. Any fishy biz must be investigated and bought to light. Even if it turns out that the subject is not rotten, it is still better to err on the side of caution.

So, I feel the prosecution did right to expose. Whether they did sufficient homework, that is another story.

Well, if the voters want to demand moral righteousness not just from their elected representatives, but also all manner of civil service or quasi civil service employees, then I feel that Singaporeans should have an open discussion about this. If the idea is that the civil service should not have anybody who gets into ESM, have more than one sexual partner, scold dogs or whatever, then we should have a discussion/debate about this, instead of sniping here and sniping there.
