My rejected letter from ST Forum


“From recent media reports on the AHPETC dispute, it is still not possible to make a judgement on the integrity, or otherwise, of the parties involved.

Can the Government detail the incontrovertible evidence, step by step, to support their position. Can the WP do likewise.

The parties to the dispute are not accountable to the other but to the citizens of Singapore. So, just present the evidence (with explanations as needed but no judgements) so that Singaporeans can judge for themselves on one or more of the outcomes below.

1) The incontrovertible evidence on dishonesty are what they are stated to be.

2) There is room for misunderstanding in the dispute.

3) The crux of dispute boils down to “A said this” and “B said that” without each being able to prove the other wrong.”

The above letter by Hwang Teng Aun was posted in TRE. He said ‘It was not published even though two letters on the matter, more demanding of the WP, were published in Forum page later that week.’ This is likely to be the trend when letters sent to the main media were not published and they would then turn to the social media as the alternative source. If more of such cases keep happening, soon it will become habitual for forumers to just go to social media to be sure that their letters are posted.

Is this undesirable, bad, not right?

The more pertinent question to ask, in order to go into the root of the matter, is why this has happened?

Do you think this would have happened if WP were the govt? Will the mainstream media then be pro WP?

Hence it is understandable why this is the way it is.

And to solve it, need to go to the root of the matter, not to social media.

The real happening which really matter is at the ballot box every 5 years, not in social media. At least in Sinkieland, other countries don't say.

Funny how Mr Gerry and Mr Mander turn up every five years.

They have been playing dirty for many years already, most remarkably using the ISA. Honesty and integrity, just like meritocracy, have a different meaning in their eyes from what ordinary folks understand.
